When a 5.00 g sample of KBr is dissolved in water in a calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 3.10 kJ ⋅ K − 1 , the temperature decreases by 0.270 K . Calculate the molar heat of solution of KBr .

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, the heat of solution of KBr equals the heat absorbed or released by the calorimeter.

In this case, the temperature of the calorimeter decreased, then it released heat that the sample of KBr absorbed. This is, then, an endothermic change.

The heat released by the calorimeter equals its heat capacity multiplied by the change in temperature:

Then:

The molar heat of solution is the heat absorbed by the sample divided by the number of moles in the sample.

Convert 5.00 g of KBr into number of moles

Divide the heat absorbed by the number of moles

geosphere and hydrosphere.

this is because the geosphere has to do with geological events, while the hydrosphere controls all water on earth.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
