Answer:

Explosive eruptions are favored by high gas content & high viscosity magmas (andesitic to rhyolitic magmas). The explosive bursting of bubbles fragments the magma into clots of liquid that cool as they fall through the air. These solid particles become pyroclasts or volcanic ash.

Answer: The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 72 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2SrCO_3(s)\rightarrow 2Sr(s)+2C(s)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $2Sr(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SrO(s)$ $\Delta H_1=-1184kJ$

(2) $SrO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow SrCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H_2=-234kJ$ ( × 2)

(3) $CO_2(g)\rightarrow C(s)+O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_3=394kJ$ ( × 2)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[2\times (-\Delta H_2)]+[2\times (\Delta H_3)]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-1184))+(2\times -(-234))+(2\times (394))]=72kJ$

Hence, the $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 72 kJ.

Give an example of a solution that can be seperated by simple distilation.

Juliette [100K]

Answer: Evaporation of salt water

Explanation: During the process of evaporating salt water which involves simple distillation, pure water is separated with salt molecules.

When heated water evaporates from the solution since it is less dense. When condensed it becomes pure water and salt is left out since it is more denser.
