When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of a substance by 1 kelvin.

<h3>Specific heat capacity of water and sand</h3>

Water, c = 4,200 J/kg⁰C

Sand, c = 830 J/kg⁰C

Q = mcΔθ

where;

  • Δθ is temperature change
  • Q is quantity of heat added

Δθ = Q/mc

Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

Hydrogen sulfide,H2S, is a very toxic gas with a smell of rotten eggs. using the following: H2S+3/2 O2=SO2+H2O H2+1/2O2=H2O S+O2
Serga [27]

Answer:

ΔH = -20kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation of a compound is defined as the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements. For H₂S(g) the reaction that describes this process is:

H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g)

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum the enthalpies of several reactions to obtain the change in enthalpy of a particular reaction thus:

<em>(1) </em>H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) → SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) ΔH = -519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

The sum of -(1) + (2) + (3) gives:

<em>-(1) </em>SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) ΔH = +519 kJ

<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

<em>-(1) + (2) + (3): </em><em>H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g) </em>

<em>ΔH =</em> +519kJ - 242kJ - 297kJ = <em>-20 kJ</em>

Physical change .. you cannot undo chemical ... physical is like bending , shattering a mirror , denting something ..
chemical would be rust or something .
