Answer:
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
Mg + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl₂ + H₂
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the total mass of the products must equal the total mass of the reactants.
However, one of the products is a gas, hydrogen. The gas escapes into the atmosphere, so you will not be weighing it at the end of the reaction.
The mass of the test tube and contents after the reaction will be less than before the reaction.
However, that doesn't violate the Law of Conservation of Mass. You just didn't measure the mass of all the products.
An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.
Happy to help
The Kj of heat that are needed to completely vaporize 1.30 moles of H2O if the heat of vaporization for water is 40.6 Kj/mole is calculated as below
Q(heat) = moles x heat of vaporization)
=1.30 mol x40.6 kj/mol= 52.78 Kj is needed
