ANSWER

EXPLANATION

Given that

The energy released by the system is 12.4J

Work done on the surrounding is 4.2J

Follow the steps below to find the change in energy

In the given data, energy is said to be released to the surroundings

Recall, that exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings. Hence, change in enthalpy is negative

Step 1; Write the formula for calculating change in energy

\Delta E\text{ }=\text{ q }+\text{ w}

Since heat is released to the surrounding, then q = -12J

Recall, that work done by the system on the surroundings is always negative

Hence, w = -4.2J

Step 2; Substitute the given data into the formula in step 1

\begin{gathered} \text{  }\Delta E\text{ = q + w} \\ \text{  }\Delta E\text{ }=\text{ -12.4 }+\text{ \lparen-4.2\rparen} \\ \text{  }\Delta E\text{ = -12.4 - 4.2} \\ \text{  }\Delta E\text{ }=\text{ -16.6J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the change i

Some metals corrode very readily. Metals from which groups might be used to provide a protective coating? Justify the answer
Andreyy89

Explanation:

Cadmium, nickel, chromium, and silver are sometimes used as protective platings. Metals have a wide range of corrosion resistance. The most active metals (i.e., those that tend to lose electrons easily)--such as magnesium and aluminum--corrode easily and are listed at the top of Table 2-1.

A sample of pure oxalic acid (H2C2O4.2H2O) weighs 0.2000 g and requires 30.12 ml of KOH solution for
ValentinkaMS [17]

 The molarity  of KOH  is  0.1055 M

 <u><em> calculation</em></u>

Step  1: write  the  equation  for reaction between H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O  and KOH

H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O  + 2 KOH   →    K₂C₂O₄ +4 H₂O

step 2: find the moles  of H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O

moles = mass÷ molar  mass

from  periodic  table the  molar mass H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O= (1 x2) +(12 x2) +(16 x4)  + 2(18)=126 g/mol

 = 0.2000 g ÷ 126 g/mol =0.00159  moles


step 3: use the  mole  ratio  to  calculate the moles of KOH

H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O : KOH  is 1:2

therefore the  moles of KOH  =0.00159 x 2 = 0.00318  moles

step 4: find molarity of KOH

molarity = moles/volume in liters

volume in liters = 30.12/1000=0.03012 L

molarity  is therefore = 0.00318/0.03012 =0.1055 M

The mass spectra of alcohols often fail to exhibit detectable M peaks but instead show relatively large ________ peaks.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: M-18

Explanation:

The mass spectra of alcohols often fail to exhibit detectable M peaks but instead show relatively large __M-18___ peaks.

Mass spectroscopy is used to determine the molecular mass and molecular formula of a sample.

When the mass spectra of alcohols do not show detectable M peaks, they show relatively large M-18 peaks.
