Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Here are the solutions to the problems.

Part b· 5 steps

  1. Calculate the mass of the solution.

    The volume of the solution is 95 cm395 \text{ cm}^3.
    The density of the solution is 1 g/cm31 \text{ g/cm}^3.

    Mass of solution(m)=Volume×Density\text{Mass of solution} (m) = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density} m=95 cm3×1 g/cm3=95 gm = 95 \text{ cm}^3 \times 1 \text{ g/cm}^3 = 95 \text{ g}
  2. Calculate the temperature change.

    The initial temperature is 43.7∘C43.7^\circ \text{C}.
    The final temperature is 49.6∘C49.6^\circ \text{C}.

    ΔT=Final temperature−Initial temperature\Delta T = \text{Final temperature} - \text{Initial temperature} ΔT=49.6∘C−43.7∘C=5.9∘C\Delta T = 49.6^\circ \text{C} - 43.7^\circ \text{C} = 5.9^\circ \text{C}

    Since a change of 1∘C1^\circ \text{C} is equal to a change of 1 K1 \text{ K}, ΔT=5.9 K\Delta T = 5.9 \text{ K}.

  3. Calculate the heat absorbed by the solution.

    The specific heat capacity of the solution (cc) is 4.2 J/g K4.2 \text{ J/g K}.

    Q=mcΔTQ = mc\Delta T Q=95 g×4.2 J/g K×5.9 KQ = 95 \text{ g} \times 4.2 \text{ J/g K} \times 5.9 \text{ K} Q=2354.1 JQ = 2354.1 \text{ J}

    Since the temperature increased, the reaction is exothermic, meaning the reaction released this heat. So, Qreaction=−Qsolution=−2354.1 JQ_{\text{reaction}} = -Q_{\text{solution}} = -2354.1 \text{ J}.
    Convert to kilojoules:

    Qreaction=−2354.1 J×1 kJ1000 J=−2.3541 kJQ_{\text{reaction}} = -2354.1 \text{ J} \times \frac{1 \text{ kJ}}{1000 \text{ J}} = -2.3541 \text{ kJ}
  4. Calculate the moles of copper deposited.

    The mass of copper deposited is 3.83 g3.83 \text{ g}.
    The molar mass of copper (Cu\text{Cu}) is 63.5 g/mol63.5 \text{ g/mol}.

    Moles of Cu(n)=MassMolar mass\text{Moles of Cu} (n) = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} n=3.83 g63.5 g/mol≈0.06031 moln = \frac{3.83 \text{ g}}{63.5 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 0.06031 \text{ mol}
  5. Calculate the molar enthalpy change.

    ΔH=Qreactionn\Delta H = \frac{Q_{\text{reaction}}}{n} ΔH=−2.3541 kJ0.06031 mol\Delta H = \frac{-2.3541 \text{ kJ}}{0.06031 \text{ mol}} ΔH≈−39.03 kJ/mol\Delta H \approx -39.03 \text{ kJ/mol}

    Rounding to three significant figures:

    −39.0 kJ/mol\boxed{-39.0 \text{ kJ/mol}}
    1. The atomic numbers of nitrogen and fluorine are 7 and 9 respectively.

Part a

Draw electron dot (+) and Cross (x) diagrams to illustrate bonding in the molecules of

(I) Nitrogen
Nitrogen (N) has an atomic number of 7, so it has 5 valence electrons. In a nitrogen molecule (N2\text{N}_2), two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons to form a triple covalent bond, and each nitrogen atom has one lone pair of electrons.
