Consider the reaction: NaNO3(s) + H2SO4(l) NaHSO4(s) + HNO3(g) ΔH° = 21.2 kJ How much heat must absorbed by the reaction system to convert 100g of NaNO3 into NaHSO4(s)?
Please anyone help me out

Data obtained from the question

NaNO₃ + H₂SO₄ —> NaHSO₄(s) + HNO₃ ΔH° = 21.2 KJ

Determination of the mass of NaNO₃ that was converted from the balanced equation.

Molar mass of NaNO₃ = 23 + 14 + (16×3)

= 23 + 14 + 48

= 85 g/mol

Mass of NaNO₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 85 = 85 g

Thus, 85 g of NaNO₃ were converted from the balanced equation.

Determination of the heat absorbed by converting 100 g of NaNO₃.

From the balanced equation above,

When 85 g of NaNO₃ were converted, 21.2 KJ were absorbed by the system.

Thus, the conversion of 100 g of NaNO₃ will cause the system to absorb = 24.9 KJ of heat energy.

Therefore, the system will absorb 24.9 KJ of heat energy.

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.
