\The specific heat of aluminum is 0.21 cal g°C . How much heat is released when a 10 gram piece of aluminum foil is taken out of
1 answer:
<u>Answer: </u>The amount of heat released is 84 calories.
<u>Explanation: </u>
The equation used to calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:
where,
Q = heat gained or released = ? Cal
m = mass of the substance = 10g
c = specific heat of aluminium = 0.21 Cal/g ° C
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Q = -84 Calories
Hence, the amount of heat released is 84 calories.

Sodium carbonate is used to neutralised sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of stron base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:
Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄→ Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃
From balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of H₂SO₄. Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol=0.106 kg/mol and molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol=0.098 kg/mol.
To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, to neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is= kg= 5.451 X 10³ kg.
