1 answer:
Answer:
A. Ca(OH)2 ----> CaO + H2O; ∆H = +109KJ
B. Check attached document below for the enthalpy diagram
Explanation:
A thermochemical equation is a balanced chemical equation in which enthalpy change is variable. It tells about the nature of the reaction.
Enthalpy change is the difference between the heat content of the products and reactants in a thermochemical equation.
∆H is negative for an exothermic reaction (a reaction where heat is given out), while it is positive for an endothermic reaction ( a reaction in which heat is added).
The activation energy, Ea, is the minimum amount of energy reactant particles must possess in order for a reaction to proceed towards product formation.

Answer:- Formula of the hydrate is and it's name is Iron(III)sulfate pentahydrate.
Solution:- As per the given information, there is 18.4% water in the hydrate. If we assume the mass of the hydrate as 100 grams then there would be 18.4 grams of water and 81.6 grams of Iron(III)sulfate present in the hydrate.
Molar mass for Iron(III)sulfate is 399.88 gram per mol and the molar mass for water is 18.02 gram per mol.
We will calculate the moles of Iron(III)sulfate and water present in the compound on dividing their grams by their molar masses as:
=
=
Now, the next step is to calculate the mol ratio and for this we divide the moles of each by the least one of them means whose moles are less. Here, the moles of Iron(III)sulfate are less than moles of water. So, we divide the moles of each by 0.204.
= 1
= 5
There is 1:5 mol ratio between Iron(III)sulfate and water. So, the formula of the hydrate is and the name of the hydrate is Iron(III)sulfate pentahydrate.
