Answer: 0.24cal/g^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed= 569 calories

m= mass of substance = 155 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature = T_i = 25.0°C

Final temperature = T_f  = 40.0°C

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(40-25)^0C=15^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

569=155\times c\times 15^0C

c=0.24cal/g^0C

The specific heat of the substance is 0.24cal/g^0C

Energy= 2381 joules
heat= Mass(kg) *change in temperature(K) * Cp
2381=0.155*(15)*Cp
Cp=1024 J/kg K

hydrogen decomposes quickly when exposed to light. the reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is:
Svet_ta [14]

The decomposition reaction for hydrogen peroxide is given below:

                                     2H_{2} O_{2} → 2H_{2} O + O_{2}

This is a decomposition reaction.

Reactions in which a reactant breaks into two or more products are known as Decomposition reactions.

                                          AB → A + B

here, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction

The decomposition reaction of decomposing hydrogen peroxide is exothermic. When the hydrogen peroxide undergoes a decomposition reaction, heat is also released along with water and oxygen.

Hence the  reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is :

         2H_{2} O_{2} → 2H_{2} O + O_{2}
