Question

The compounds KNO3 and NaNO3 are soluble in water.


55 Compare the entropy of 30. grams of solid KNO3 at 20.°C with the entropy of 30. grams of KNO3 dissolved in 100. grams of water at 20.°C. [1]


56 Explain why the total thermal energy of a sample containing 22.2 grams of NaNO3 dissolved in 200. grams of water at 20.°C is greater than the total thermal energy of a sample containing 11.1 grams of NaNO3 dissolved in 100. grams of water at 20.°C. [1]


57 Compare the boiling point of a NaNO3 solution at standard pressure to the boiling point of water at standard pressure. [1]

Answer 1

55) Answer==>   the solid has less entropy
56) Answer==> 22.2g produces more heat than 11.1g when dissolved
57) Answer==> the solution has a higher boiling point
