Liquid sodium is being considered as an engine coolant. How many grams of liquid sodium (minimum) are needed to absorb 1.30 MJ of energy in the form of heat if the temperature of the sodium is not to increase by more than 10.0 °C? Use C P = 30.8 J / ( K ⋅ mol ) for Na ( l ) at 500 K

Explanation:

Below is an attachment containing the solution.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
