Calculate the final temperature of a mixture of 0.350 kg of ice initially at 218°C and 237 g of water initially at 100.0°C.
kramer

Answer:

115 ⁰C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> The heat needed to melt the solid at its melting point will come from the warmer water sample. This implies

q_{1} +q_{2} =-q_{3} -----eqution 1

where,

q_{1} is the heat absorbed by the solid at 0⁰C

q_{2} is the heat absorbed by the liquid at 0⁰C

q_{3} the heat lost by the warmer water sample

Important equations to be used in solving this problem

q=m *c*\delta {T}, where -----equation 2

q is heat absorbed/lost

m is mass of the sample

c is specific heat of water, = 4.18 J/0⁰C

\delta {T} is change in temperature

Again,

q=n*\delta {_f_u_s} -------equation 3

where,

q is heat absorbed

n is the number of moles of water

tex]\delta {_f_u_s}[/tex] is the molar heat of fusion of water, = 6.01 kJ/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate how many moles of water you have in the 100.0-g sample

=237g *\frac{1 mole H_{2} O}{18g} = 13.167 moles of H_{2}O

<u>Step 3: </u>calculate how much heat is needed to allow the sample to go from solid at 218⁰C to liquid at 0⁰C

q_{1} = 13.167 moles *6.01\frac{KJ}{mole} = 79.13KJ

This means that equation (1) becomes

79.13 KJ + q_{2} = -q_{3}

<u>Step 4:</u> calculate the final temperature of the water

79.13KJ+M_{sample} *C*\delta {T_{sample}} =-M_{water} *C*\delta {T_{water}

Substitute in the values; we will have,

79.13KJ + 237*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-218}) = -350*4.18\frac{J}{g^{o}C}*(T_{f}-100})

79.13 kJ + 990.66J* (T_{f}-218}) = -1463J*(T_{f}-100})

Convert the joules to kilo-joules to get

79.13 kJ + 0.99066KJ* (T_{f}-218}) = -1.463KJ*(T_{f}-100})

79.13 + 0.99066T_{f} -215.96388= -1.463T_{f}+146.3

collect like terms,

2.45366T_{f} = 283.133

∴T_{f} = = 115.4 ⁰C

Approximately the final temperature of the mixture is 115 ⁰C

Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they ___ chemically stable with 8 valence electrons
azamat

Answer : Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.

Explanation :

Noble gases are the chemical elements that are present in group 18 in the periodic table.

The elements are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

They are chemically most stable except helium due to having the maximum number of 8 valence electrons can hold their outermost shell that means they have a complete octet.

They are rarely reacts with other elements to form compounds by gaining or losing electrons since they are already chemically stable.

Hence, the noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.
