Answer:
B
Explanation:
In precipitation reaction, there is the emergence of a solid settling out of the solution. It can be visualized as a case in which a particular soluble solid becomes insoluble due to its reaction with another substance otherwise tagged as the precipitating reagent
It is thus reagent that draws it out of the solution by making it insoluble in its former solution. Hence it acts like it is calling out the substance by using a precipitating reagent
<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy released per gram of
is -71.92 kJ
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given chemical reaction:

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:
![\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(reactant)}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7B%28product%29%7D%5D-%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7B%28reactant%29%7D%5D)
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
![\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(5\times \Delta H^o_f_{(B_2O_3(s))})+(9\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))})]-[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(B_5H_9(l))})+(12\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5B%285%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7B%28B_2O_3%28s%29%29%7D%29%2B%289%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7B%28H_2O%28l%29%29%7D%29%5D-%5B%282%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7B%28B_5H_9%28l%29%29%7D%29%2B%2812%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_f_%7B%28O_2%28g%29%29%7D%29%5D)
Taking the standard enthalpy of formation:

Putting values in above equation, we get:
![\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(5\times (1271.94))+(9\times (-285.83))]-[(2\times (73.2))+(12\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-9078.57kJ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5B%285%5Ctimes%20%281271.94%29%29%2B%289%5Ctimes%20%28-285.83%29%29%5D-%5B%282%5Ctimes%20%2873.2%29%29%2B%2812%5Ctimes%20%280%29%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_%7Brxn%7D%3D-9078.57kJ)
We know that:
Molar mass of pentaborane -9 = 63.12 g/mol
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
If 2 moles of
produces -9078.57 kJ of energy.
Or,
If
of
produces -9078.57 kJ of energy
Then, 1 gram of
will produce =
of energy.
Hence, the amount of energy released per gram of
is -71.92 kJ
