A mixture of 2.00 mol of powdered aluminum and 3.00 mol of ammonium nitrate crystals reacts exothermically yielding nitrogen gas, water vapor, and aluminum oxide. How many grams of the mixture are required to provide 245 kJ of heat? See Appendix C for data.arrow_forwardA student performing a calorimetry experiment combined 100.0 ml. of 0.50 M HCI and 100.0 ml. of 0.50 M NaOH in a StyrofoamTM 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. WIII the AT observed be 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 HCI and 100.0 ml. of 1.00 M NaOH. Will the T observed be greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why?arrow_forward

Calculate E in kJ/mol C12H22O11 for the combustion reaction of sucrose.arrow_forward9.104 An engineer is using sodium metal as a cooling agent in a design because it has useful thermal properties. Looting up the heat capacity, the engineer finds a value of 28.2 J mol-l °C-l. Carelessly, he wrote this number down without units. As a result, it was later taken as specific heat. (a) What would he the difference between these two values? (b) Would the engineer overestimate the ability of sodium to remove heat from the system or underestimate it because of this error? Be sure to explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
