13. Calculate the total heat energy in Joules needed to convert 20 g of substance X from -10°C to 70°C?

1 answer:

5 0

The heat required to convert the unknown substance X from one phase to another is 1600 J times the specific heat of that substance.

Explanation:

The heat energy required to convert a substance or to heat up or increase the temperature of a substance can be obtained from the specific heat formula.

As per this formula, the heat energy applied should be equal to the product of mass of the substance with temperature gradient and also with specific heat of the substance. Basically, the heat provided to increase or convert a substance should be more than the specific heat of the substance.

$Q = mc del T$

Since, here the mass of the substance X is given as m = 20g and the temperature change is given from -10°C to 70°C.

Then ΔT = (70-(-10))=70+10=80°C.

As the substance is unknown, the specific heat of that substance can also not be determined. Hence keep it as C.

$Q = 20*C*80$

Q = 1600C J

Thus, the heat required to convert the unknown substance X from one phase to another is 1600 J times the specific heat of that substance.

Dahasolnce [82]

<span>A substance that accelerates the rate of chemical reaction is called a catalyst. It serves as an alternative pathway for the reaction product. The increase of rate of chemical reaction is because catalyst has low activiation energy than the original pathway. The low activation energy will increase the amount of molecules that can benefit in the energy created by the catalyst.</span>

During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:

CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :

MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol

MM CuO = 79 g/mol

MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.

So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)

Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor

Vesnalui [34]

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is the ball rolls backward.

<h3>What is the first law?</h3>

This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.

In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.
