Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heat released by the reaction of 10.0 g of Na2SO4 with water can be calculated by first determining the moles of Na2SO4 reacted. The molar mass of Na2SO4 is approximately 142 g/mol. Thus, 10.0 g of Na2SO4 is equivalent to 10.0 g / 142 g/mol = 0.0704 mol. Since the ΔH° given is for the reaction of 2 moles of Na2SO4, the heat released for 0.0704 mol is proportionally less. Specifically, (0.0704 mol / 2 mol) * -126 kJ = -4.43 kJ. However, this calculation seems to have an error in interpretation or calculation steps based on the provided options, indicating a need for reevaluation of the calculation or the understanding of the question's premise. The correct approach involves calculating the amount of heat released per mole and then applying it to the amount reacted, but the discrepancy in the final answer suggests a misunderstanding in the calculation or the options provided.

The Value of ΔH° for the Reaction Below Is -126
