Answer:
209.3 Joules require to raise the temperature from 10 °C to 15 °C.
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m × c × ΔT
Given data:
mass of water = 10 g
initial temperature T1= 10 °C
final temperature T2= 15 °C
temperature change =ΔT= T2-T1 = 15°C - 10°C = 5 °C
Energy or joules added to increase the temperature Q = ?
Solution:
We know that specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g .°C
Q = m × c × ΔT
Q = 10 g × 4.186 J/g .°C × 5 °C
Q = 209.3 J
The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes:
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2
Then,
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The total ionic equation looks as follows:
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows:
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
low melting point means that a low amount of heat is required to melt said substance.
