😂😂😂but why would you multiply?


the units are given as kj per mol... so if you multiply by mol you get kj....

Yeah exactly so kjmol-1 divided by mol gives you Kj....

ermmm no

kj/mol divided by mol is kj/mol2

kj/mol divided by mol is kj/mol2


Ohhhhh lol sorry I get it now, thank you very much 😜🙂

Now my answer is 11757 KJ, doesn't that seem too much?
1 mol of ethanol weighs 45 g.

so 394.5 g is 394.5/45 mol

multiply this by the enthalpy of combustion... you get 12019.1 kj

Ahh okay thanks I hope that sticks in my brain 😂

1 mol of ethanol weighs 46 g approx.

Hi, would one of you mind helping me with an enthalpy question please?
It's based upon Hess's Law which I partially understand.

If it's AS I can probably try :smile:
(was just doing some questions a few hours ago)

Oh cool, thanks! It is AS :smile:
The question is based on a couple of previous questions:
Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction between magnesium metal and silver nitrate solution. It gives steps to follow. First was to write out the equation and I got:
Mg (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) ---> Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s)
Then, it says to draw a Hess cycle which puts together this reaction and two previous ones which I worked out to be:
CuSO4 (aq) + Mg (s) ---> MgSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)
2AgNO3 (aq) + Cu (s) ---> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s)

My guess at a third part to the cycle would be:
Cu (s) + Mg (s) + NO3 (aq) + Ag (s)
^but that doesn't look right
