The sea water has 8.0x10^-1 cg of element strontium. Assuming that all strontium could be recovered, how many grams of strontium
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

984 grams of strontium will be recovered from 9.84x10^8 cubic meter of seawater.

Explanation:

From the question data given is :

volume of strontium in sea water= 9.84x10^8 cubic meter

(1 cubic metre = 1000000 ml)

so 9 .84x10^8 cubic meter

 \frac{9 .84x10^8}{1000000}      = 984 ml.

density of sea water = 1 gram/ml

from the formula mass of strontium can be calculated.

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

mass = density x volume

mass = 1 x 984

         = 984 grams of strontium will be recovered.

98400 centigram of strontium will be recovered.

Strontium is an alkaline earth metal and is highly reactive.

A 2.50 g sample of solid sodium hydroxide is added to 55.0 mL of 25 °C water in a foam cup (insulated from the environment) and
zlopas [31]

Answer:

37.1°C.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the amount of heat (Q) released through this reaction:

<em>∵ ΔHsoln = Q/n</em>

no. of moles (n) of NaOH = mass/molar mass = (2.5 g)/(40 g/mol) = 0.0625 mol.

<em>The negative sign of ΔHsoln indicates that the reaction is exothermic.</em>

∴ Q = (n)(ΔHsoln) = (0.0625 mol)(44.51 kJ/mol) = 2.78 kJ.

  • We can use the relation:

Q = m.c.ΔT,

where, Q is the amount of heat released to water (Q = 2781.87 J).

m is the mass of water (m = 55.0 g, suppose density of water = 1.0 g/mL).

c is the specific heat capacity of water (c = 4.18 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference in T (ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = final temperature - 25°C).

∴ (2781.87 J) = (55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C)(final temperature - 25°C)

∴ (final temperature - 25°C) = (2781.87 J)/(55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C) = 12.1.

<em>∴ final temperature = 25°C + 12.1 = 37.1°C.</em>

The enthalpy of solution (∆H) of KOH is -57.6 kJ/mol. If 3.66 g KOH is dissolved in enough water to make a 150.0 mL solution, wh
Wewaii [24]

When 3.66 g of KOH (∆Hsol = -57.6 kJ/mol) is dissolved in 150.0 mL of solution, it causes a temperature change of 5.87 °C.

The enthalpy of solution of KOH is -57.6 kJ/mol. We can calculate the heat released by the solution (Qr) of 3.66 g of KOH considering that the molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

3.66g \times \frac{1mol}{56.11g} \times \frac{(-57.6kJ)}{mol} = -3.76 kJ

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the solution of KOH (Qr) and the heat absorbed by the solution (Qa) is zero.

Qr+Qa = 0\\\\Qa = -Qr = 3.76 kJ

150.0 mL of solution with a density of 1.02 g/mL were prepared. The mass (m) of the solution is:

150.0 mL \times \frac{1.02g}{mL}  = 153 g

Given the specific heat capacity of the solution (c) is 4.184 J/g・°C, we can calculate the change in the temperature (ΔT) of the solution using the following expression.

Qa = c \times m \times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T = \frac{Qa}{c \times m} = \frac{3.76 \times 10^{3}J  }{\frac{4.184J}{g.\° C }  \times 153g} = 5.87 \° C

When 3.66 g of KOH (∆Hsol = -57.6 kJ/mol) is dissolved in 150.0 mL of solution, it causes a temperature change of 5.87 °C.
