A student pours 28.0 g of Hg at a temperature of 87.6°C into a Styrofoam cup filled with water at 13.0°C. If the specific heat of Hg is 0.139 J/gºC, and the final temperature of the mixture is 15.5°C. how much
water was in the calorimeter?

answer: the enthalpy of the overall chemical reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

according to hess's law, the overall enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of enthalpy values of all the products and the sum of enthalpy values of all the reactants.

δh(reaction) = ∑nδh(products) - ∑nδh(reactants)

δh(reaction) = [δh +δh] - [δh]

δh(reaction) = [1(-287.02) + 1(0) ] - [1(-374.9)] kj = +87.88 kj

here, δh (pcl3) = -287.02 kj, δh(cl2) = 0, δh(pcl5) = -374.9 kj

therefore, enthalpy of the overall reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
