Answer:
We need 1.1 grams of Mg
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of water = 78 mL
Initial temperature = 29 °C
Final temperature = 78 °C
The standard heats of formation
−285.8 kJ/mol H2O(l)
−924.54 kJ/mol Mg(OH)2(s)
Step 2: The equation
The heat is produced by the following reaction:
Mg(s)+2H2O(l)→Mg(OH)2(s)+H2(g)
Step 3: Calculate the mass of Mg needed
Using the standard heats of formation:
−285.8 kJ/mol H2O(l)
−924.54 kJ/mol Mg(OH)2(s)
Mg(s) + 2 H2O(l) → Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g)
−924.54 kJ − (2 * −285.8 kJ) = −352.94 kJ/mol Mg
(4.184 J/g·°C) * (78 g) * (78 - 29)°C = 15991.248 J required
(15991.248 J) / (352940 J/mol Mg) * (24.3 g Mg/mol) = 1.1 g Mg
We need 1.1 grams of Mg
The answer is (D) microscopic. You can remember this, because the name is very close to "microscope," an instrument used to greatly magnify and observe tiny organisms and objects.
For example, iron plus oxygen can become ferric oxide. Both elements change their names. The change is used to indicate the kind of bonding process that is taking place. When iron and oxygen become ferric oxide, the iron has lost electrons and the oxygen has gained the electrons that iron lost. <span>
