Describe the pattern that thermal energy follows as it moves

1 answer:

4 0

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heatflows from the hotter to the cooler object. Heat is energy on the move. 
Units of heat are units of energy. The SI unit of energy is Joule. Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.63

Explanation : Given,

The dissociation constant for HCN = $pK_a=9.31$

First we have to calculate the moles of HCN and NaCN.

$\text{Moles of HCN}=\text{Concentration of HCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.496M\times 0.225L=0.1116mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of NaCN}=\text{Concentration of NaCN}\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.399M\times 0.225L=0.08978mole$

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$HCN+NaOH\rightarrow NaCN+H_2O$

Initial moles 0.1116 0.0461 0.08978

At eqm. (0.1116-0.0461) 0 (0.08978+0.0461)

0.0655 0.1359

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=9.31+\log (\frac{0.1359}{0.0655})$

$pH=9.63$

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.63

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions. ln->ln3+ cd2+->cd

DochEvi [55]

Oxidation reaction
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction

2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd

During an endothermic phase change, what happens to the potential energy and the kinetic energy?

Dovator [93]

The correct answer should be that Potential energy increases, and kinetic energy increases, since they both increase as the temperature changes.

A fluorine atom has 9 positive charge,9 negative charges and a mass of 19. Describe the structure of its atom.

Tanya [424]

The atomic structure of the atom contains 9 positively charged particles (protons) and 10 neutrally charged particles (neutrons) in the center of the atom in a clump called the nucleus. Those 9 negatively charged particles (electrons) are moving around outside of the nucleus.
There are 10 neutral charges, because the mass of 19 comes from the number of neutral charges plus the number of positive charges.
To calculate the number of neutral charges, subtract the positive charges from the mass (19 - 9), and you get the number of neutral charges (10).

Why is it important to note the temperature when determining the density of a substance?

Andru [333]

It is important to take note of th temperature in determining the density of a substance because this will set as a basis and will likely be a variable in the experiment because this will also contribute on the effects of the experiment and a basis of how the experiment has turned to be that way.
