Answer:
21.86582KJ
Explanation:
The graphical form of the Arrhenius equation is shown on the image attached. Remember that in the Arrhenius equation, we plot the rate constant against the inverse of temperature. The slope of this graph is the activation energy and its y intercept is the frequency factor.
Applying the equation if a straight line, y=mx +c, and comparing the given equation with the graphical form of the Arrhenius equation shown in the image attached, we obtain the activation energy of the reaction as shown.
Formula of hydrated sodium carbonate : Na₂CO₃.10H₂O, so moles of water in one mole of hydrated salt = 10
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Hydrate is a compound that binds water (H₂O), usually in the form of crystals/ solids
If these compounds are dissolved in water or heated, the hydrates can decompose:
Example: X.YH₂O (s) → X (aq) + YH₂O (l)
The formula for the hydrated compound contains: YH2O
The mole ratio shows the ratio of the coefficients of the hydrate compound
10.45 hydrated sodium carbonate(Na₂CO₃.xH₂O) were heated until 3.87 of 3.87of anhydrous (Na₂CO₃) remained, so
mass H₂O released :
mass Na₂CO₃ = 3.87 g
mol ratio Na₂CO₃(MW= g/mol) : H₂O(MW=18 g/mol) =
