Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : The amount of heat required to form 3.00 g of NO should be calculated.
Concept Introduction : The enthalpy of
(b)
Interpretation : The complete equation for the decomposition of NO should be determined.
Concept Introduction : The enthalpy of chemical reaction indicates the energy absorb or release during the reaction. When we reverse any chemical reaction the sign of ΔH will also reverse but the value of ΔH will remain same.
(c)
Interpretation : The amount of heat released when 5.00 g of NO decomposes to form nitrogen and oxygen gas.
Concept Introduction : The enthalpy of chemical reaction indicates the energy absorb or release during the reaction. When we reverse any chemical reaction the sign of ΔH will also reverse but the value of ΔH will remain same.

- 9.85 The figure below shows a "self-cooling" beverage can. The can is equipped with an outer jacket containing sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), which dissolves in water rapidly and endothermically: Na2CO3(s)2Na+(aq)+CO32(aq) H= 67.7 kJ The user adds water to the outer jacket, and the heat absorbed in the chemical reaction chills the drink. The can contains 200 g of drink, the jacket contains 55 g of Na2CO3, and 100 g of water is to be added. If the initial temperatures of the can and the water are both 32°C on a summer day, what is the coldest temperature that the drink can reach? The can itself has a heat capacity of 40 J/C Assume that the Na2CO3 solution and the drink both have the same heat capacity as pure water, 4.184 J g-l C-l, (HINT: Treat this like a calorimetry problem.)arrow_forwardHydrogen cyanide is used in the manufacture of clear plastics such as Lucite and Plexiglas.
