Gerald's science teacher mixed room temperature samples of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in a large beaker. The solutio

n still looked clear like water, but when the students carefully touched the beaker one at a time, it felt warm to the touch. Why did the beaker most likely feel warm?
A. The two liquids were not soluble in water.
B. The release of a gas heated the solution.
C. The energy of mixing warmed the solution.
D. A chemical reaction was producing a new substance.

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction equation will be as follows.

      HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O

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, A + B + Heat \rightarrow AB

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, C + D \rightarrow CD + Heat 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.

An object has a mass of 72 kg. What is its weight?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 times as that on the earth and we know that mass is property of the material it always remains same and weight is measure of gravitational force, hence

mass of object on moon is 60kg and weight =60g/6=10×10=100N

If 50. 75 g of a gas occupies 10. 0 l at stp, 129. 3 g of the gas will occupy ________ l at stp.
NeX [460]

22.4L

of any gas contains 1 mol of that gas.

50.75g/10L*22.4L/1 mol= 113.68g/mol- this is the mole weight of your gas

1 mol/113.68g*129.3g=1.137403 mol

Set up a ratio

1.137403mol/x L=1 mol/22.4 L

X=25.477827L, or with sig figs, x=25.5L
