Heat required for a system
can be calculated by the product of the specific heat, temperature difference
and the mass of the system. We calculate it as follows:
Q
= mCΔT
Q
= 50(0.06)(1)
Q
= 3 calories
<span>Therefore,
the correct answer from the choices listed is the second option, 3 calories.</span>
1. Democritus characterized atoms as indestructible and indivisible.
Answer: A) 3.21 g
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

We are given:
Mass of iron = 5.58 g
Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g
Mass of sulphur = x g
Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x
Total mass on product side = 8.79 g
Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:
Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.
Answer :
The time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.
The order of reaction is, second order reaction.
Explanation :
The general formula to determine the unit of rate constant is:

Unit of rate constant Order of reaction
0
1
2
As the unit of rate constant is
. So, the order of reaction is second order.
The expression used for second order kinetics is:
![kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=kt%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA_t%5D%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA_o%5D%7D)
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time = ?
= final concentration = 0.97 M
= initial concentration = 2.48 M
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:


Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.
