Question

Calculate the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 0.1 moles of sucrose in water given the following information: - The enthalpy change of the reaction is -564 kJ/mol.- The molar mass of sucrose is 342.3 g/mol.- The reaction is exothermic.

Answer 1

To calculate the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 0.1 moles of sucrose, we can use the given enthalpy change of the reaction and the number of moles of sucrose.Enthalpy change  H  = moles of sucrose  enthalpy change per moleGiven:Moles of sucrose = 0.1 molesEnthalpy change per mole = -564 kJ/mol  exothermic, so negative value Now, we can calculate the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 0.1 moles of sucrose:H = 0.1 moles   -564 kJ/mol H = -56.4 kJThe enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 0.1 moles of sucrose in water is -56.4 kJ.
