When 0.230 g of sodium metal is added to an excess of hydrochloric acid, 2390 j of heat are produced. what is the enthalpy of the reaction as written?

2na(s)+2hcl(aq)⟶2nacl(aq)+h2(g)

ΔHrxn = 239 kj/mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium = 0.230 g

Heat produced = 2390 J

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H₂

Number of moles of sodium:

Number of moles of sodium = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of sodium = 0.230 g / 23 g/mol

Number of moles of sodium = 0.01 mol

Enthalpy of reaction:

ΔHrxn =  2390 J / 0.01 mol

ΔHrxn = 239000 j/mol

ΔHrxn = 239 kj/mol

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.

explanation:

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
