Calcium chloride is a salt used in a number of food and medicinal applications and in brine for refrigeration systems. Its most distinctive property is its affinity for water: in its anhydrous form it efficiently absorbs water vapor from gases, and from aqueous liquid solutions it can form (at different conditions) calcium chloride hydrate
You have been given the task of determining the standard heat of the reaction in which calcium chloride hexahydrate is formed from anhydrous calcium chloride:
By definition, the desired quantity is the heat of hydration of calcium chloride hexahydrate. You cannot carry out the hydration reaction directly, so you resort to an indirect method. You first dissolve 1.00 mol of anhydrous CaCl2in 10.0 mol of water in a calorimeter and determine that 64.85 kJ of heat must be transferred away from the calorimeter to keep the solution temperature at 25°C. You next dissolve 1.00 mol of the hexahydrate salt in 4.00 mol of water and find that 32.1 kJ of heat must be transferred to the calorimeter to keep the temperature at 25°C.
- Use these results to calculate the desired heat of reaction. (Suggestion: Begin by writing out the stoichiometric equations for the two dissolution processes.)
- Calculate the standard heat of reaction in kJ for Ca(s), Cl2(g) and H2O reacting to form CaCl2(aq, r= 10).

- Which of the following quantities can be taken to be independent of temperature? independent of pressure? (a) H for a reaction (b) S for a reaction (c) G for a reaction (d) S for a substancearrow_forwardDefine the joule in terms of SI base units.arrow_forwardThe human body burns glucose C6H12O6 for energy according to this chemical reaction:→+C6H12O66O2+6CO26H2O. The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500.mLof air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO2 and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 3.0kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 2.00kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO2 is 2.0/kgm3arrow_forward

- Although we tend to make less use of mercury these days because of the environmental problems created by its improper disposal, mercury is still an important metal because of its unusual property of existing as a liquid at room temperature. One process by which mercury is produced industrially is through the heating of its common ore cinnabar (mercuric sulfide, HgS) with lime (calcium oxide, CaO). 4 HgS(s) + 4 CaO(s) → 4 Hg(l) + 3 CaS(s) + CaSO4(s) What mass of mercury would be produced by complete reaction of 10.7 kg of HgS? kgarrow_forwardA constant pressure calorimeter contains 286 g of water at 20.0 °C. A 13.41 g of substance X (molar mass 154 g/mol) at 20.0°C was dissolved in this water. The temperature of the solution increased to 23.5 °C. Assuming the specific heat of the mixture is 4.184 J g‑1°C‑1, and the density of the solution is 1.00 g/cm3, calculate the enthalpy change (in kJ) for the dissolution of 1 mole of X.arrow_forwardA student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based L-atm on experimentally collected data, the student calculates R to equal 0.0832 mol·K L-atm Ideal gas law constant from literature: 0.08206 mol·K (a) Determine the percent error for the student's R-value. Percent error = % (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R.arrow_forward
- When limestone (solid CaCO,) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete- the lime absorbs CO₂ from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 500. L. and heated to 520.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO, has stopped changing, it is found that 3.84 kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO, and CaO at 520.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for K, does not match the accepted value.arrow_forwardPublic water systems often add fluoride to drinking water because, in the proper amounts, fluoride improves dental health and prevents cavities. Too much fluoride, however, can cause fluorosis, which stains teeth. In 2015, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) revised its 1962 recommenda- tions for the amount of fluoride in public water systems. The 1962 recommendations depended on the average temperature for the region in question as shown here. because U.S. citizens are now getting fluoride from other sources, including toothpaste and mouthwash. The rec- ommended level balances the need for fluoride to im- prove dental health with the risk of developing fluorosis from too much fluoride. Examine the data in the table and answer the following questions: (a) Determine the percent change in optimum recom- mended fluoride concentration for a water system with annual average maximum daily temperatures of 17.8–21.4 °C. Hint: the percent change is given by 1962 Fluoride Recommendations final…arrow_forwardstandard enthalpy of formation (ΔHof) for solid AlCl3.arrow_forward
