A heater letting of heat is an example of release of energy. Please comment if you have any questions about my answer.<span />
A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT
To find the heat released.
The balanced equation given is:
4NH3 + 3O2 .....> 2N2 + 6H2O
From this equation, we can note that 4 moles of NH3 are required to produce 2 moles of N2.
Therefore, the mole ratio of NH3 to N2 is 4:2 which can be simplified into 2:1
Balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Mg(OH)₂ to MgCl₂ is 1:1
mass of Mg(OH)₂ reacted - 1.82 g
number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ - 1.82 g/ 58.3 g/mol = 0.0312 mol
number of Mg(OH)₂ moles reacted - number of MgCl₂ moles formed
number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.0312 mol
mass of MgCl₂ formed - 0.0312 mol x 95.2 g/mol = 2.97 g
mass of MgCl₂ formed - 2.97 g
