distilled water

Explanation:

Some students investigated osmosis in raw potato sticks. The students measured the mass of three potato sticks using an electronic balance. The students left each potato stick in one of the three different liquids for 5 hours:i. distilled water. ii. dilute sodium chloride solution. iii. concentrated sodium chloride solution. After 5 hours they measured the mass again and calculated the change in mass. 1. Predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick. 2. After the experiment, the students noticed that the potato stick with the lowest mass was soft and floppy. Explain why the potato stick had become soft and floppy. 3. The students followed the same experimental procedure with boiled potato sticks and found no overall change in mass in any of the solutions. Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same.

If 8.00 g NH4NO3 is dissolved in 1000 g of water, the water decreases in temperature from 21.00 degrees Celsius to 20.39 degrees
telo118 [61]

Answer:

25.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

There are two heats involved.

heat of solution of NH₄NO₃ + heat from water = 0

q₁  +  q₂  =  0

n  =  moles of NH₄NO₃  =  8.00 g NH₄NO₃  ×  1 mol NH₄NO₃/80.0 g NH₄NO₃          

∴ n =   0.100 mol NH₄NO₃

q₁ = n * ΔHsoln = 0.100 mol * ΔHsoln

m  =  mass of solution  =  1000.0 g + 8.00 g  =  1008.0 g

q₂  =  mcΔT  = 58.0 g  ×  4.184 J°C⁻¹  g⁻¹  × ((20.39-21)°C) = -2570.19 J

q₁  +  q₂  =  0.100 mol  ×ΔHsoln  – 2570.19 J  =  0

ΔHsoln  =  +2570.19 J  /0.100 mol  =  +25702 J/mol  =  +25.7 kJ/mol
