In a coffee cup calorimeter, 1.60 g NH4NO3 was mixed with 75.0 grams of water at an initial temperature of 25.00* Celsius. After

the dissolution of the salt, the final temperature of the calorimeter contents was 23.34 * Celcius. Assuming the solution has a heat capacity of 4.18 J/g*C, and assuming no heat loss to the calorimeter, calculate the enthalpy of the solution for the dissolution of NH4NO3 in units of kJ/mol. Q

Answer:

-26.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

The dissolution of NH₄NO₃ is:

NH₄NO₃(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

To solve this question we need to find the heat released in the dissolution using the equation of coffee cup calorimeter:

Q = -m*S*ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat,</em>

<em>m is the mass of solution = 1.60g + 75.0g = 76.6g</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the calorimeter (4.18J/g°C)</em>

<em>And ΔT is change in temperature (25°C - 23.34°C = 1.66°C)</em>

<em />

The heat is:

Q = -76.6g*4.18J/g°C*1.66°C

Q = -531.5J = -0.5315kJ are released

The heat released per mole = Enthalpy for the dissolution is:

<em>Moles NH₄NO₃:</em>

1.60g * (1mol / 80.043g) = 0.0200mol

Enthalpy for the dissolution:

-0.5315kJ / 0.0200mol =

<h3>-26.6kJ/mol</h3>

Why does neon gas consist of individual, unbonded neon atoms while chlorine exists as diatomic chlorine molecules?
nlexa [21]

Neon gas consist of individual, unbonded neon atoms due to the stable (octet) configuration, while chlorine exists as diatomic chlorine molecules to gain stability.

<h3>How we define the stability of atoms?</h3>

Stability of any atom will be defined on the basis of the electronic configuration or the number of valence shell electrons they have.

  • Chlorine atom have seven electrons on the outermost shell of the atom and will able to gain 1 electron to get octet configuration, that's why present in the diatomic form.
  • Neon is a noble gas as they have stable configuration due to presence of 8 electrons in the valence shell, and due to stability it will not easily react with any other gas and present in single atomic form.

Hence due to stable configuration of neon it is present in the unbonded form.

Why is it not possible to directly count the number of particles in a mole?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: because a mole is based on Avogrado's number,  which is 6.02 x 10²³ particles. It isn't possible to directly count that many particles at a time.

The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. Apiece of aluminum foil that is 1000 cm on each side has a mass of 440. mg. How thick is
MissTica
Mass/volume = density
mass = (440 mg)*(1g)/(1000mg) = 0.440g
volume = (1000cm)(1000cm)(t)
where t = thickness
density = 2.70 g/cm^3 = (0.440g)/((1000cm)(1000cm)(t))

multiply both sides by 't' and divide both sides by (2.70g/cm^3)

t = (0.440) / ((1000cm)(1000cm)(2.70)) = 1.629x10^-7 cm

t = (1.629 x 10^-7 cm)*(1000000 micrometers)/(1 cm) = 0.1629 micrometers

Answer is t = 0.1629 micrometers
