We first have to find Q calorimeter

Q calorimeter = C (delta T) 

C= heat capacity in J/oC, not small c ( specific heat capacity) 
delta T= change in T (oC) = final T - initial T 

Q calorimeter = 10.4 J/oC (30 oC - 25 oC)
Q calorimeter = 52 J 

Remember, 

Q calorimeter = - Q surrounding
The (-) negative sign stands for heat being released. 

So , 

Q surrounding = - 52 J 

In other words, the iron releases 52 J .

The calorimeter absorbs the entire 52 J and heat rose from 25 - 30 oC. 

Answer: 52 J

Solution of copper (II) sulfate reacts with solution of sodium hydroxide to ____
Juli2301 [7.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

A. Solution of copper (II) sulfate reacts with solution of sodium hydroxide to produce "copper hydroxide & solution of sodium sulphate".

B. Solid baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate) reacts with solution of hydrochloric acid to produce "carbon dioxide and water".

<u>Explanation:</u>

When CuSO4 is an acid salt while NaOH is a solid base mixed together. This reaction results into a basic copper hydroxide in the form of pale blue precipitate & sodium sulphate, which is a solution of neutral salt. This process is called as both a double displacement and precipitation reaction.

2NaOH + CuSO4 --> Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4.

Sodium bicarbonate is used as a cleaner, from a "primitive" material to extract any acidic contaminants, for producing a nobler sample. Sodium bicarbonate and acid mixture generates a salt and carbonic acid that breaks down readily into carbon dioxide and water.

NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2CO. H2CO3 → H2O + CO2(g).

You determine that a sample of a compound contains 1. 4 mol c and 2. 1 mol h. What is the empirical formula for this compound?.
vlada-n [284]

The empirical formula of the compound is C4H1.

An empirical formula represents the whole number ratio of various atoms present in a compound.

If the mass percent of various elements present in a compound is known, its empirical formula can be determined

We are given that a compound contains 4 mole C and 1 mole H.

Hence, the ratio of C: H is 4:1, which is already in the form of the simplest whole number.

Therefore, the empirical formula of the given compound is C4H1 and its molecular mass is 12 x 4 + 1 = 49.

What factors does the climate include?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A. amount of precipitation, average temperature

Explanation:

Precipitation and average temperature are factors that climate includes. These factors are determined by other factors such as location of an area(like how far a place is from large bodies of water like the sea), ocean currents, lattitude (distance from the equator), winds (prevailing winds) , topography (such as mountains) and the like.
