For formation of
Concept Introduction:
Enthalpy is the amount energy absorbed or released in a process. Under constant pressure conditions the enthalpy change will be equal to molar q.
Here, q is amount of heat; n is no of moles and
Number of moles (n) of substance can be determined by using the given formula,
Here, m is the mass of the substance and M is the molar mass.

- The formation of aluminum oxide from its elements is highly exothermic. If 2.70 g Al metal is burned in pure O2 to give A12O3, calculate how much thermal energy is evolved in the process (at constant pressure).arrow_forwardThermodynamics provides a way to interpret everyday occurrences. If you live in northern climates, one common experience is that during early winter, snow falls but then melts when it hits the ground. Both the formation and the melting happen spontaneously. How can thermodynamics explain both of these seemingly opposed events?arrow_forwardShown below is a diagram depicting the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction run at constant pressure. a Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? b What is the sign of H? c What is the sign of q? d If the reaction does no work, what is the sign of E for this process?arrow_forward
- Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane, CH4(g), to give carbon dioxide and water vapor. Explain why it is difficult to predict whether S is positive or negative for this chemical reaction.arrow_forward9.83 A student performing a calorimetry experiment combined 100.0 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 100.0 mL of 0.50 M NaOH in a coffee cup calorimeter. Both solutions were initially at 20.0°C, but when the two were mixed, the temperature rose to 23.2°C. (a) Suppose the experiment is repeated in the same calorimeter but this time using 200 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 200.0 mL of 0.50 M NaOH. Will the T observed he greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why? (b) Suppose that the experiment is repeated once again in the same calorimeter, this time using 100 mL of 1.00 M HCl and 100.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH. Will the T observed he greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why?arrow_forwardA 50-mL solution of a dilute AgNO3 solution is added to 100 mL of a base solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter. As Ag2O(s) precipitates, the temperature of the solution increases from 23.78 C to 25.19 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 150 g, calculate the heat q. Is the precipitation reaction exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forward
- A beaker of water at 40C (on the left in the drawing) and a beaker of ice water at 0°C are placed side by side in an insulated container. After some time has passed, the temperature of the water in the beaker on the left is 30°C and the temperature of the ice water is still 0°C. Describe what is happening in each beaker (a) on the molecular level and (b) in terms of the second law of thermodynamicsarrow_forward9.20 State the first law of thermodynamics briefly in your own words.arrow_forwardThe bombardier beetle uses an explosive discharge as a defensive measure. The chemical reaction involved is the oxidation of hydroquinone by hydrogen peroxide to produce quinone and water: C6H4(OH)2(aq) + H2O2(aq) C6H4O2(aq) + 2H2O(l) Calculate H for this reaction from the following data: C6H4(OH)2(aq) C6H4O2(aq) + H2(g)H = 177.4 kJ H2(g) + O2(g) H2O2(aq)H = 191.2 kJ H2(g) + 12O2(g) H2O(g)H = 241.8 kJ H2O(g) H2O(l)H = 43.8 kJarrow_forward
- The process of dissolving ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, in water is an endothermic process. What is the sign of q? If you were to add some ammonium nitrate to water in a flask, would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool?arrow_forwardWhen 7.11 g NH4NO3 is added to 100 mL water, the temperature of the calorimeter contents decreases from 22.1 C to 17.1 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 107 g, calculate the heat q. Is the dissolution of ammonium nitrate exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forwardGiven the following data 2O3(g) 3O2(g)H = 427 kJ O2(g) 2O(g)H = 495 kJ NO(g) + O3(g) NO2(g) + O2(g)H = 199 kJ Calculate H for the reaction NO(g) + O(g) NO2(g)arrow_forward
