Sandra heated a 12.3-g piece of iron to 100oC. She then placed the iron in a calorimeter with a heat capacity of 10.4 J/oC. The

reading on the calorimeter temperature gauge rose from 25oC to 30oC. How much heat did the piece of iron lose?
A:     2.08 JB:     52.0 JC:     61.5 JD:     861 J

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

How can you determine if a reacition is exothermic?
Marizza181 [45]
Exothermic reaction normally gives out heat for completing the reaction. the burning of a candle or the condensation of water vapour to water are all exothermic reactions. The prefix "ex" at the begining refers to external or outside and normally these kind of reactions release heat at the end.During neutralization, when the acida and bases are combined, it releases heat and this kind of reaction is definitely exothermic reaction.The combustion of any kind of fuel is also exothermic reaction as it gives out heat at the end.Fossil fuel burnt in cars and engines are good examples.

How do you know the ph level of 10^-8
sergiy2304 [10]

pH=6.98

Explanation:

This is a very interesting question because it tests your understanding of what it means to have a dynamic equilibrium going on in solution.

As you know, pure water undergoes self-ionization to form hydronium ions, H3O+, and hydroxide anions, OH−.

2H2O(l]⇌H3O+(aq]+OH−(aq]→ very important!

At room temperature, the value of water's ionization constant, KW, is equal to 10−14. This means that you have

KW=[H3O+]⋅[OH−]=10−14

Since the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal for pure water, you will have

[H3O+]=√10−14=10−7M

The pH of pure water will thus be

pH=−log([H3O+])

pH=−log(10−7)=7

Now, let's assume that you're working with a 1.0-L solution of pure water and you add some 10

Explain what helps convert non-rich oxygen blood cells back to oxygen rich cells?
Reil [10]

Answer:

As blood travels through the body, oxygen is used up, and the blood becomes oxygen poor. Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body to the heart through the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC), the two main veins that bring blood back to the heart.

Automobile bodies contain significant amounts of iron. The iron is protected by the addition of zinc. This is called galvanizati
Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

Net chemical equation:  Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
