Most of the coal available in the United States is bituminous or "soft" coal, which contains as much as 5% sulfur by weight. When this coal is burned, the sulfur reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide gas. When the sulfur dioxide gas dissolves in raindrops, it forms sulfuric acid. This is how we get acid rain. Here is the reaction that produces sulfur dioxide gas when soft coal is burned: Sg(s)+80₂(g) → 8SO₂(g) Suppose an engineer decides to study the rate of this reaction. He prepares four reaction vessels with 159.6 g of solid sulfur and 27.0 g of oxygen gas each. The volume and temperature of each vessel is shown in the table below. Arrange the reaction vessels in decreasing order of initial rate of reaction. In other words, select a "1" next to the vessel in which the engineer can reasonably expect the initial rate of reaction to be highest, a "2" next to the vessel in which the initial rate of reaction would be next highest, and so on. vessel volume temperature A B C D 1.0 L 2.0 L 8.0 L 4.0 L 610. °C 610. °C 610. °C 610. °℃ initial rate of reaction ? + + + +

The reaction A(aq) + B(aq) C(aq) + D(aq) has a ΔHrxn = -85 kJ/mol. This reaction is endorthermic or exothermic . If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased, equilibrium will shift towards the reactans or products. This change will decrease or increase the concentration of the reactants and K will increase or deacrease
A student dissolves 11.8 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)in 250. g of water in a well-insulated open cup. She then observes the temperature of the water rise from 20.0 °C to 33.6 °C over the course of 8 minutes. Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: NaOH(s) Na (aq) + OH (ag) You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do the experiment carefully, and the values you calculate may not be the same as the known and published values for this reaction. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case. Calculate the reaction enthalpy AH per mole of NaOH. O…
5.21 g of MgSO₄ is placed into 100.0 mL of water. The water's temperature increases by 6.70°C. Calculate ∆H, in kJ/mol, for the dissolution of MgSO₄.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbondioxide sublimes according to the equation:CO2(s) ------------>CO2(g) When dry ice is added to warm water, heat from the water causesthe dry ice to sublime more quickly. The evaporating carbon dioxide produces a dense fog often used to create special effects. In a simple dry ice fog machine, dry ice is added to warm water in a Styrofoam cooler. The dryice produces fog until it evaporates away, or until the water gets too cold to sublime the dry ice quickly enough. A small Styrofoam cooler holds15.0 L of water heated to 85°C. Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the change in enthalpy for dry ice sublimation, and calculate themass of dry ice that should be added to the water so that the dry ice completely sublimes away when the water reaches 25 °C. Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. (The ∆H°f for CO2(s) is -427.4 kJ/mol.)
