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.

If a mass that weighs 8 kg is held at a height of 10 m, what is its potential energy?
Olenka [21]
Using the equation gpe = mgh
(Gravitation Potential Energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity which is 10 on earth x height)

Gpe = 8kg x 10 x 10m = 800

Is the entropy change favorable or not, when a nonpolar molecule is transferred from water to a nonpolar solvent?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Entropy change is favorable when a nonpolar molecule is transferred from water to a nonpolar solvent.

Explanation:

A nonpolar molecule is not miscible in water (polar solvent). Therefore, when mixed together, each specie will cluster together and solvation will not happen.

However, when you tranfer the nonpolar molecule to a nonpolar solvent, the solvent molecules will interact with the nonpolar molecule. This will increase entropy as the level of disorder will increase with solvation.

What is the concentration,in molarity, of a solution containing 10 moles of copper(ii) nitrate in 5.0 liters of solution?
BartSMP [9]
The  concentration  in  molarity  of  a  solution    containing  10  moles  of  copper(ii)  nitrate  in  5.0 Liters    of  solution   is  calculated   using  the  following  formula

molarity  =  number  of  moles/  volume in  liters

=   10/5.0  =  2 M

____________ heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C, and it is related to
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

specific heat.

Explanation:

Definition:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree is called specific heat.

Formula:

Q = m. c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat required

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

The substance with greater value of specific heat require more heat to raise the temperature while the substance with lower value will raise its temperature very quickly by absorbing smaller heat.

For example the beach sand gets hot very quickly because of lower specific heat of sand while water is colder than sand because of higher specific heat capacity.
