Sodium acetate is produced by the reaction of baking soda and vinegar. The resultant solution is then heated until it becomes sa

turated and allowed to cool. As a result, the solution has become supercooled. Upon addition of a small seed crystal, the solution temperature increases as sodium acetate trihydrate crystallizes. Its molar enthalpy of fusion is 35.9 kJ/mol. How much thermal energy would be released by 276.0 g of sodium acetate trihydrate (molar mass

Answer: The thermal energy that would be released by 276.0g of sodium acetate trihydrate is 71.8kJ.

Explanation:

Supercooling is the process of lowering the temperature a liquid below its freezing point, without it becoming solid. A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal because it serves as a structure for formation of crystals. From the question,

The given mass of sodium acetate trihydrate

(CH3COONa.3H2O)= 276.0g

Molar mass of sodium acetate

trihydrate= 136.08g/mol

Thermal heat of fusion of sodium acetate

trihydrate = 35.9 kJ/mol

From the given mass the number of moles present= 276.0/ 136.08

= 2.0moles

Therefore the heat (thermal) energy of the given mass of sodium acetate

trihydrate = 2.0 × 35.9

= 71.8kJ

Therefore, upon addition of a small seed crystal, the solution temperature increases as sodium acetate trihydrate crystallizes.

What would be the freezing point of a solution that has a molality of 1.324 m which was prepared by dissolving biphenyl (C12H10)
lbvjy [14]

The freezing point of a 1.324 m solution, prepared by dissolving biphenyl into naphthalene, is 71.12 ° C.

A solution is prepared by dissolving biphenyl into naphthalene. We can calculate the freezing point depression (ΔT) for naphthalene using the following expression.

\Delta T = i \times Kf \times m =   1 \times 6.90 \°C/m  \times 1.324m = 9.14  \°C

where,

  • i: van 't Hoff factor (1 for non-electrolytes)
  • Kf: cryoscopic constant
  • m: molality

The normal freezing point of naphthalene is 80.26 °C. The freezing point of the solution is:

T = 80.26 \° C - 9.14 \° C = 71.12 \° C

The freezing point of a 1.324 m solution, prepared by dissolving biphenyl into naphthalene, is 71.12 ° C.

How many times greater is one gallon than one quart
horrorfan [7]
4, because there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon. 

Another way to think about it is 1 gallon= $1 and 1 quart= 25 cents 
There are 4 quarters in a dollar.

Hope this helped..

How to prepare super saturated solution of copper sulphate ? Explain the experiment
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Monitor the temperature of the water with the thermometer. Stop heating the water once it nears the boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius. Add copper(II) sulfate and stir until the heated solution is saturated. When the solution is saturated, copper(II) sulfate will not dissolve anymore

Two solids of identical mass, A and B, are analyzed using identical calorimeters. Each calorimeter contains the same amount of w
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.

Explanation:

In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.

Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.

This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.

Compare the polymerisation reaction used to produce poly(ethene) with the
butalik [34]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Polymerization is the process whereby two or more monomers link together to form a compound of high molecular mass called a polymer.

There are two kinds of polymers;

-Addition polymers

-Condensation polymers

Addition polymers are formed by the joining of two or more monomers  to form a polymer without the elimination of a small molecule.

Condensation polymers are formed by the joining of two or more molecules  to form polymers with the elimination of a small molecule.

The main difference between polyethene and polyester is that polyethene is an addition polymer while polyester is a condensation polymer.

In polyethene, ethene molecules are joined together having the repeating unit as [-CH2-CH2-]n.

In polyester, the polymer arises from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol and loss of water molecules.
