What experimental observations indicate a chemical change is taking place?

1 answer:

6 0

A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.

A sample of propane (C3H8) has a mass of 0. 47 g. The sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a mass of 1. 350 kg and a

Nady [450]

The amount of heat released by the sample has been 22.54 kJ. Thus, option C is correct.

The specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The specific heat has been expressed as:

$q=mc\Delta T$

<h3 /><h3>Computation for the heat absorbed</h3>

The iron and calorimeter are in side the closed system. Thus, the energy released by the sample, has been equivalent to the energy absorbed by the calorimeter.

$q_{released}=q_{absorbed}\\
q_{released}=m_{calorimeter}\;c_{calorimeter}\;\Delta T$

The given mass of calorimeter has been, $m_{calorimeter}=1350\;\rm g$

The specific heat of the calorimeter has been, $c_{calorimeter}=5.82\;\rm J/g^\circ C$

The change in temperature of the calorimeter has been, $\Delta T=2.87^\circ \rm C$

Substituting the values for heat released:

$q_{released}= 1350\;\text g\;\times\;5.82\;\text J/\text g^\circ \text C\;\times\;2.87^\circ \text C\\
q_{released}=22,549.5\;\text J\\
q_{released}}=22.54\;\rm kJ$
