The enthalpy of reaction for the decomposition of calcium carbonate is 177.4 KJ/mole .

We know that the enthalpy of reaction can be obtained from the enthalpy of formation of the reactants and that of the products using the formula;

ΔHrxn = ΔHf (products) - ΔHf (reactants)

The heat of formation of the species are as follows;

ΔHf (CaCO3(s)) = −1206.9 KJ/mol

ΔHf (CaO(s)) = - 636 KJ/mole

ΔHf (CO2(g)) = -393.5 KJ/mole

ΔHrxn = [( -393.5 KJ/mole ) + ( - 636 KJ/mole)] - [ −1206.9 KJ/mol]

ΔHrxn = 177.4 KJ/mole

The overall cell reaction occurring in an alkaline battery isZn(s) + MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) → ZnO(s) + Mn(OH)₂(s) (e) In practice, vol

zubka84 [21]

b) Mass of MnO₂ = 5.981 g

Mass of H₂O = 1.2384 g

c) Total Mass of Reactant consumed = 11.708 g

b) Given Reaction

Zn(s) + MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) → ZnO(s) + Mn(OH)₂(s)

Mass of Zn = 4.50 g

Moles of Zn = 0.0688 moles

Now,

Moles of Zn = moles of MnO₂ = moles of H₂O = moles of ZnO = moles of Mn(OH)₂

Hence ,

Moles of MnO₂ = 0.0688 moles

Mass of MnO₂ = 0.0688 × 86.9368 g

= 5.981 g

Similarly,

Moles of H₂O = 0.0688 moles

Mass of H₂O = 0.0688 × 18 g

= 1.2384 g

c) now ,

Moles of ZnO = 0.0688 moles

Mass of ZnO = 0.06880× 81.3794 g

= 5.598 g

Moles of Mn(OH)₂ = 0.0688 moles

Mass of Mn(OH)₂ =0.0688 × 88.952 g

= 6.11 g

Total mass of Product = 11.708 g

Total Mass of Reactant = 11.715 g

Hence,

Total mass of reactant consumed = 11.708 g

c) As total mass of reactant is more than that of mass of reactant consumed , Hence G is more than that of mass of reactant consumed .

G = - nFEcell

and no. of moles of reactant is greater than that of number of moles of reactant consumed .

Hence voltaic cell of given Capacity are heavier than that of mass of reactant consumed .

Thus from above conclusion we can say that , Mass of the reactant consumed is 11.708 g.

Determine whether or not each mixture is a buffer. check all that apply. check all that apply. koh and nh3 hbr and nacl hcl and

erastova [34]

A buffer is usually composed of either:
- a weak base combined with its conjugate acid, or
- a weak acid combined with its conjugate base

Now, examining each of the choices:
1- KOH and NH3: since they are both bases, thus this mixture is not a buffer
2- HBr and NaCl: since HBr is a strong acid while NaCl is the salt of another different acid, thus this mixture is not a buffer
3- HCl and HBr: these are both considered to be strong acid, thus this mixture is not a buffer
4- HCHO2 and NaCHO2: as for HCH02, it is considered a weak base while NaCHO2 is considered its conjugate base, thus this mixture is a buffer
