A student dissolves 15.0 g of ammonium chloride(NH4Cl) in 250. 0 g of water in a well-insulated open cup. She then observes the

temperature of the water fall from 20.0 oC to 16.0 oC over the course of minutes. Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction:
NH4Cl(s) rightarrow NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do the experiment carefully, and the values you calculate may not be the same as the known and published values for this reaction.
1. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?
2. If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case.
3. Calculate the reaction enthalpy deltaHrxn per mole of NH4CI.

Answer:  

1) Endothermic.  

2) Q_{rxn}=4435.04J  

3) \Delta _rH=15.8kJ/mol

Explanation:  

Hello there!  

1) In this case, for these calorimetry problems, we can realize that since the temperature decreases the reaction is endothermic because it is absorbing heat from the solution, that is why the temperature goes from 22.00 °C to 16.0°C.  

2) Now, for the total heat released by the reaction, we first need to assume that all of it is released by the solution since it is possible to assume that the calorimeter is perfectly isolated. In such a way, it is also valid to assume that the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/(g°C) as it is mostly water, therefore, the heat released by the reaction is:

Q_{rxn}=-(15.0g+250.0g)*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}(16.0-20.0)\°C\\\\ Q_{rxn}=4435.04J    

3) Finally, since the enthalpy of reaction is calculated by dividing the heat released by the reaction over the moles of the solute, in this case NH4Cl, we proceed as follows:

\Delta _rH=\frac{ Q_{rxn}}{n}\\\\\Delta _rH= \frac{ 4435.04J}{15.0g*\frac{1mol}{53.49g} } *\frac{1kJ}{1000J} \\\\\Delta _rH=15.8kJ/mol

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The correct order of the elements, taking into account their ionic radius from highest to lowest, is:

<em>a) Cl⁻¹ > F⁻¹ > Na⁺¹ > Mg⁺²</em>

<em>b) S⁻² > O⁻² > Li⁺¹ > Be⁺²</em>

<em>c) S⁻² > Cl⁻¹ > K⁺¹ > Na⁺¹</em>

Explanation:

In ions the ionic radius is determined by the amount of electrons an element gains or loses to become an ion.  The more negative an ion is, the greater its ionic radius.

As a rule, anions (negative charge) have a larger ionic radius than cations (positive charge), because the loss of electrons means a contraction of the ionic radius, while the gain of electrons means a greater radius.

To determine which ionic radius is greater in anions or cations with the same charge, it must be considered that in the periodic table the ionic radius increases from top to bottom and from right to left.

lisov135 [29]
<span>The shininess of an element is also referred to as "metallic luster." The element that is most likely to have a metallic luster is B. rhodium.
Arsenic has a dull luster, chlorine and hydrogen are gases so they don't have luster.

The final volume of the solution is 284 mL. What is the concentration of CuSO4 in the final solution, in mol/L?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

0.0252mol/L

Explanation:

The following data were obtained obtained from the question:

Volume of solution = 284mL = 284/1000 = 0.284L

Mole of CuSO4 = 7.157 × 10^-3 mol

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole/Volume

Molarity = 7.157x10^-3 /0.284

Molarity = 0.0252mol/L

The concentration of the solution is 0.0252mol/L

Covalent bonded atoms make up what
White raven [17]
In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.
