How much energy (kJ) is required to change 0.18 mole of ice (s) at 0 C to water (l) at 0 C?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:25,06 kJ of energy must be added to a 75 g block of ice.

ΔHfusion(H₂O) = 6,01 kJ/mol.

T(H₂O) = 0°C.

m(H₂O) = 75 g.

n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ M(H₂O).

n(H₂O) = 75 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 4,17 mol.

Q = ΔHfusion(H₂O) · n(H₂O)

Q = 6,01 kJ/mol · 4,17 mol

Q = 25,06 kJ.

Calculate the molarity of a solution with 114.95 grams of sodium dissolved in 2 L of water.

koban [17]

Answer:

The molarity of a solution is 2.5 M

Explanation:

Molarity is a concentration unit that describes how much of a solution is dissolved in solution.

Molarity of a solution can found by using the formula,

Molarity (M) = (moles of solute)/(Liters of Solution).

Given, mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Volume of water = 2 L.

Here, Sodium is solute as it is dissolved in water, which is the solvent.

Moles of Sodium(solute) can be found by using the formula,

Number of Moles = mass/Molecular weight.

mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Molecular weight = 22.989 grams

Number of Moles of Sodium(solute) =114.95/22.989 = 5.

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

M = 5/2 = 2.5 M

Automobile airbags contain solid sodium azide, NaN3, that reacts to produce nitrogen gas when heated, thus inflating the bag. 2N

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer : The value of work done for the system is 1144.69 J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $NaN_3$

$\text{Moles of }NaN_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaN_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NaN_3}$

Molar mass of $NaN_3$ = 65.01 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }NaN_3=\frac{20.2g}{65.01g/mole}=0.311mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $NaN_3$ react to give 3 mole of $N_2$

So, 0.311 moles of $NaN_3$ react to give $\frac{0.311}{2}\times 3=0.466$ moles of $N_2$

Now we have to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of $N_2$ gas = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of $N_2$ gas = ?

n = number of moles $N_2$ = 0.466 mole

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of $N_2$ gas = $22^oC=273+22=295K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00atm\times V=0.466mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 295K$

$V=11.3L$

As initially no nitrogen was present. So,

Volume expanded = Volume of nitrogen evolved

Thus,

Expansion work = Pressure × Volume

Expansion work = 1.00 atm × 11.3 L

Expansion work = 11.3 L.atm

Conversion used : (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

Expansion work = 11.3 × 101.3 = 1144.69 J

Therefore, the value of work done for the system is 1144.69 J
