How much heat is required to change 25.0 g of water from solid to liquid at 0 oC? Water: ΔHfus = 334 J/g; ΔHvap= 2260J/g

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The heat required to change 25.0 g of water from solid ice to liquid water at 0°C is 8350 J

Explanation:

The parameters given are

The temperature of the solid water = 0°C

The heat of fusion, = 334 J/g

The heat of vaporization, = 2260 J/g

Mass of the solid water = 25.0 g

We note that the heat required to change a solid to a liquid is the heat of fusion, from which we have the formula for heat fusion is given as follows;

ΔH = m ×

Therefore, we have;

ΔH = 25 g × 334 J/g = 8350 J

Which gives the heat required to change 25.0 g of water from solid ice to liquid water at 0°C as 8350 J.

Convert 6.35 grams of aluminum sulfate to moles

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

There are 0.0186 moles of formula units in 6.35 grams of aluminum sulfate $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ .

Explanation:

What's the empirical formula of aluminum sulfate?

Sulfate is an anion with a charge of -2 per ion. When sulfate ions are bonded to metals, the compound is likely ionic.

Aluminum is a group III metal. Its ions tend to carry a charge of +3 per ion.

The empirical formula of an ionic compound shall balance the charge on ions with as few ions as possible.

The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. That is:

Three sulfate ions $\rm {SO_4}^{2-}$ will give a charge of -6.
Two aluminum ions $\rm Al^{3+}$ will give a charge of +6.

Pairing three $\rm {SO_4}^{2-}$ ions with two $\rm Al^{3+}$ will balance the charge. Hence the empirical formula: $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ .

What's the mass of one mole of aluminum sulfate? In other words, what's the formula mass of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ ?

Refer to a modern periodic table for relative atomic mass data:

Al: 26.982;
S: 32.06;
O: 15.999.

There are

two Al,
three S, and
twelve O

in one formula unit of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ .

Hence the formula mass of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ :

$\underbrace{2\times 26.982}_{\rm Al} + \underbrace{3\times 32.06}_{\rm S} + \underbrace{12\times 15.999}_{\rm O} = \rm 342.132\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

How many moles of formula units in 6.35 grams of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ ?

$\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \rm \frac{6.35\;g}{342.132\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 0.0186\;mol$ .

What is the atomic number of an atom? Why is this number important?

aalyn [17]

The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. This number is very important because it is unique for atoms of a given element. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms

Answer this ASAP please!! Question: How many magnesium atoms does magnesium oxide need? (Science) (ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW WHAT

aliina [53]

Answer:

40.3 for the unit that represents the minimum amount of magnesium oxide I beilieve.

Explanation:

Magnesium atoms are heavier than oxygen atoms, so we expect more than 50% of magnesium in the weight composition. Taking just one atom of Mg and one atom of O you will get a mass of 16.0 + 24.3 = 40.3.

Hope this helps! Please tell me if you have any questions :))
