<u>Given</u> :

  • Amount = 20 kg
  • Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
  • Temperature change = 15 °C

<u>Formula applied</u> :

\boxed {Q = mc \triangle T}

  • Q = absorbed heat
  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity
  • ΔT = temperature change

Let's solve for c !

⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15

⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300

⇒ \boxed {c = 790 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}}

∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is <u>790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹</u>.

Match each part of the electrochemical cell with its function.
umka21 [38]

Hi!


The correct options would be:

1. Cathode - <em>reduction</em>

The cathode is the negatively charged electrode, and so has an excess of electrons. Cations (positively charged ions) are attracted to the cathode, and gain electrons to acquire a neutral charge. The process in which a gain of electron occurs is called reduction.


2. Anode - <em>oxidation</em>

The opposite occurs at the anode which is positively charged and attracts negatively charged ions, anions. These anions lose their electrons at the anode to acquire a neutral charge, and the process involving loss of electrons is known as oxidation.


3. Salt Bridge - <em>ion transport </em>

Salt bridge is a physical connection between the the anodic and cathodic half cells in an electrochemical cell and is a pathway that facilitates the flow of ions back and forth these half cells. Salt bridge is involved in maintaining a neutral condition in the electrochemical cells, and its absence would result in the accumulation of positive charge in the anodic cell, and negative charge in the cathodic cell.


4. Wire - <em>electron transport </em>

Wires have a universal role of being a pathway for the transport of electrons in circuit. This role is also the same in the wires involved in an electrochemical cells where they are used to transport electrons from the anodic half cell, and this electron transport results in the generation of electricity in the internal circuit of the electrochemical cell.


Hope this helps!

Consider the following thermochemical reaction for kerosene:
ch4aika [34]

We have to solve this question using the stoichiometry of the reaction:

The equation of the reaction is;

2 C12H26(l) + 37 O2(g) -----> 24 CO2(g) + 26 H2O(l) + 15,026 kJ

According to the question;

Number of moles of CO2 released = 21.3 g/44 g/mol = 0.48 moles

From the  stoichiometry of the reaction:

Since;

24 moles of CO2 released 15,026 KJ

0.48 moles of CO2 will release 0.48 * 15,026/24

= 301 KJ of heat.

Study the reaction. X(s) + 2B(aq)→ X+(aq) + B2(g) Under which circumstances will the reaction rate be highest? A) the solid X is
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Option (A) the solid X is ground to a fine powder.

Explanation:

X(s) + 2B(aq) → X+(aq) + B2(g)

In the reaction above, the rate of the reaction will be highest, when X being a solid is ground to fine powder.

Grounding X to fine powder simply means increasing the surface area of X.

An increase in surface area of reactants will definitely increase the rate of reaction because the particles of the solid will collide with the right orientation and hence speed up the reaction rate.
