Question 8 • Chemistry

NaCl has a triangle cap h sub fus is equal to 30 point 2 kJ over mol What is the mass of a sample of NaCl that needs 732 point 6 kJ of heat to melt completely? Use q is equal to n triangle cap h

Answer
A
82 point 7 g
B
24 point 3 g
C
1 comma 407 point 1 g
D
1 comma 417 point 7 g

Explanation

Use q = nΔHfus to find the amount of NaCl: n = 732.6 kJ ÷ 30.2 kJ/mol ≈ 24.26 mol. The molar mass of NaCl is about 58.44 g/mol, so the sample’s mass is 24.26 mol × 58.44 g/mol ≈ 1,417.7 g. The correct choice is D, 1,417.7 g.
