Gaining of electrons is reduction and loss of electrons is oxidation.

Hope this helped! :)

Naoki's bicycle has a mass of 10 kg. If Naoki sits on her bicycle and starts pedaling with a force of 168 N, causing an accelera

White raven [17]

Answer:

50 kg

Explanation:

Data:

Mass of bicycle = 10 kg

F = 168 N

a = 2.8 m/s²

Calculation:

F = ma Divide each side by m, Then

m = F/a

= 168/2.8

= 60 kg

m = mass of bicycle + Naoki's mass. Then

60 = 10 + Naoki's mass Subtract 10 from each side

Naoki's mass = 50 kg

A 100.0-mL sample of 1.00 M NaOH is mixed with 50.0 mL of 1.00 M H2SO4 in a large Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter fitted with a

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

THE ENTHALPY CHANGE IN KJ/MOLE IS +114 KJ/MOLE.

Explanation:

Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature rise

Total volume = 100 + 50 = 150 mL

Total mass = density * volume

Total mass = 1 * 150 mL = 150 g

So therefore, the heat evolved during the reaction is:

Heat = 150 * 4.18 * ( 31.4 - 22.3)

Heat = 150 * 4.18 * 9.1

Heat = 5705.7 J

Equation for the reaction:

2 NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

From the equation, 2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4 to produce 1 mole of Na2SO4 and 2 moles of water

50 mL of 1 M of H2SO4 contains

50 * 1 / 1000 mole of acid

= 0.05 mole of acid

The production of 1 mole of water evolved 5705.7 J of heat and hence the enthalpy changein kJ per mole will be:

0.05 mole of H2SO4 produces 5705.7 J of heat

1 mole of H2SO4 will produce 5705.7 / 0.05 J

= 114,114 J / mole

In kj/mole = 114 kJ/mole.

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction in kJ /mole is +114 kJ/mole.

What is the mass of a sample of metal that is heated from 58.8°C to 88.9°C with a

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 333 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a sample of metal. We are given temperatures, specific heat, and joules of heat, so we will use the following formula.

$Q= mc \Delta T$

The heat added is 4500.0 Joules. The mass of the sample is unknown. The specific heat is 0.4494 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The difference in temperature is found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.

ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature

The sample was heated from 58.8 degrees Celsius to 88.9 degrees Celsius.

ΔT= 88.9 °C - 58.8 °C = 30.1 °C

Now we know three variables:

Q= 4500.0 J
c= 0.4494 J/g°C
ΔT = 30.1 °C

Substitute these values into the formula.

$4500.0 \ J = m (0.4494 \ J/g \textdegree C)(30.1 \textdegree C)$

Multiply on the right side of the equation. The units of degrees Celsius cancel.

$4500.0 \ J = m (13.52694 J/g)$

We are solving for the mass, so we must isolate the variable m. It is being multiplied by 13.52694 Joules per gram. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 13.52694 J/g

$\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= \frac{m (13.52694 J/g)}{13.52694 J/g}$

The units of Joules cancel.

$\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= m$

$332.6694729 \ g =m$

The original measurements have 5,4, and 3 significant figures. Our answer must have the least number or 3. For the number we found, that is the ones place. The 6 in the tenth place tells us to round the 2 up to a 3.

$333 \ g \approx m$

The mass of the sample of metal is approximately 333 grams.
