Answer:
in a laboratory
Explanation:
A controlled experiment refers to the one where everything is an experiment except a single variable is held constant. A collection of information is typically taken as a control group, which is generally the ordinary state, and another group is analyzed( such as chemical reaction as per the question) in which all conditions are similar to the control group except for the variable under examination. The main benefit of a controlled experiment is that confusion over the accuracy of the results can be eliminated more easily.
<u>Given:</u>
Mass of Ag = 1.67 g
Mass of Cl = 2.21 g
Heat evolved = 1.96 kJ
<u>To determine:</u>
The enthalpy of formation of AgCl(s)
<u>Explanation:</u>
The reaction is:
2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) → 2AgCl(s)
Calculate the moles of Ag and Cl from the given masses
Atomic mass of Ag = 108 g/mol
# moles of Ag = 1.67/108 = 0.0155 moles
Atomic mass of Cl = 35 g/mol
# moles of Cl = 2.21/35 = 0.0631 moles
Since moles of Ag << moles of Cl, silver is the limiting reagent.
Based on reaction stoichiometry: # moles of AgCl formed = 0.0155 moles
Enthalpy of formation of AgCl = 1.96 kJ/0.0155 moles = 126.5 kJ/mol
Ans: Formation enthalpy = 126.5 kJ/mol
When an oxygen atom is attached to a carbon atom, the carbon atom becomes reduced.
