Gerald's science teacher mixed room temperature samples of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in a large beaker. The solutio
1 answer:
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The chemical reaction equation will be as follows.
This means a new substance has been formed and a chemical change has taken place.
A chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed by the reactant molecules is known as an endothermic reaction.
For example,
On the other hand, a chemical reaction in which heat energy is released by the reactant molecules is known as an exothermic reaction.
For example, is an exothermic reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation the beaker most likely felt warm because a chemical reaction was producing a new substance.

Answer:
The total photons required = 5.19 × 10²⁸ photons
Explanation:
Given that:
the radiation wavelength λ= 12.5 cm = 0.125 m
Volume of the container = 0.250 L = 250 mL
The density of water = 1 g/mL
Density = mass /volume
Mass = Volume × Density
Thus; the mass of the water = 250 mL × 1 g/mL
the mass of the water = 250 g
the specific heat of water s = 4.18 J/g° C
the initial temperature = 20.0° C
the final temperature = 99° C
Change in temperature = (99-20)° C = 79 ° C
The heat q absorbed during the process = ms
The heat q absorbed during the process = 250 g × 4.18 J/g° C × 79° C
The heat q absorbed during the process = 82555 J
The energy of a photon can be represented by the equation :
= hc/λ
where;
h = planck's constant =
c = velocity of light =
=
= J
The total photons required = Total heat energy/ Energy of a photon
The total photons required =
The total photons required = 5.19 × 10²⁸ photons
We know that when calculating percent yield, we use the equation:
Since the quantities that we are given in the question are equal, we can just directly divide them to find percent yield:
So now we know that the percent yield of the synthesis is 87.27%.
