Calculate the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 135.0 g of water from 50.4°F to 85.0°F. The specific heat of
MAXImum [283]

Here we have to calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 85.0 ⁰F to 50.4 ⁰F.

10.857 kJ heat will be needed to raise the temperature from 50.4 ⁰F to 85.0 ⁰F

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature can be obtained from the equation H = m×s×(t₂-t₁).

Where H = Heat, s  =specific gravity = 4.184 J/g.⁰C, m = mass = 135.0 g, t₁ (initial temperature) = 50.4 ⁰F or 10.222 ⁰C and t₂ (final temperature) = 85.0⁰F or 29.444 ⁰C.

On plugging the values we get:

H = 135.0 g × 4.184 J/g.⁰C×(29.444 - 10.222) ⁰C

Or, H = 10857.354 J or 10.857 kJ.

Thus 10857.354 J or 10.857 kJ heat will be needed to raise the temperature.

List the three requirements for a correctly written chemical equation.2. Give one example of a word equation, one example of a f
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Requirements for a correctly written chemical equation are reactants and products, their formula and valency

Explanation:

Formula of the given compound are -

1 - Potassium Hydroxide - KOH

2 - Calcium Nitrate - Ca(NO_3)_2

The requirements for a correctly written chemical equation are -

  • Identifying reactants and products
  • Formula of reactants and products
  • Valency of elements

Example of word equation, formula equation, and chemical equation is as follows -

Aluminium + iron9(III)oxide ⇒ aluminium oxide + iron (word equation)

Al_(_s_)  + Fe_2O_3_(_s_)    ⇒   Al_2O_3_(_s_)  + Fe_(s) (formula equation)              

2Al_(_s_) + Fe_2O_3_(_s_)    ⇒   Al_2O_3_(_s_)   + 2Fe_(_s_) (chemical equation)

Which statement is true about a reaction represented by a chemical equation that shows energy as a reactant?
vovikov84 [41]
A. It absorbs energy.
reactants are located on the left side of the equation, meaning energy among with other reactants were needed to get the reaction going, so it absorbed energy, which is also the endothermic process. The opposite of that would be having energy on the right side with the products which means that the reaction would've released energy which is the exothermic process. Hope this helps!

The following five beakers, each containing a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl, also known as table salt), were found on a lab
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

1)  100. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (3.3M)

2)  100. mL of 3.00 M NaCl solution (3 M)

3) 150. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (2.2 M)

4)  Number 1 and 5 have the same concentration (1.5M)

MW of NaCl = 23 + 36 = 59 g

For number 3

          59 g ------------------- 1 mol

           19,5 g -----------------   x

  x = 19.5 x 1/59 = 0.33 mol

Molarity (M) = 0.33 mol/0.150 l = 2.2 M

For number 4,

Molarity (M) = 0.33mol/0.10 l = 3.3 M

For number 5

Molarity (M) = 0.450/0.3 = 1.5 M

Which direction will the following reaction (in a 5.0 L flask) proceed if the pressure of CO_2(g) is 1.0 atm? CaCO_3(s) rightarr
storchak [24]

Answer:

d. To the left because Q > K_p

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction:

CaCO_3(s) \rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)

The pressure-based equilibrium expression is:

Kp=p_{CO_2}

In such a way, since Kp is given we rather compute the reaction quotient at the specificed pressure of carbon dioxide as shown below:

Q=p_{CO2}=1.0

Therefore, since Q>Kp we can see that there are more products than reactants, which means that the reaction must shift leftwards towards the reactants in order to reestablish equilibrium, thus, answer is d. To the left because Q > Kp.

Regards.
