Hey there!

Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy.  This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy.  Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.

natali 33 [55]
The chemical reaction would be written as:

2HgO = 2Hg + O2

We use this reaction and the amount of the reactant to calculate for the moles of oxygen produced. THen, we use avogadro's number to convert it to molecules. We do as follows:

12.5 g HgO (1 mol / 216.59 g) (1 mol O2 / 2 mol HgO) ( 6.022x10^23 molecules O2 / 1 mol O2 ) = 1.74x10^22 molecules O2 produced

The volume of a sample gas, initially at 25 C and 158 mL, increased to 450 mL. What is the final temperature of the sample of ga
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

Explanation:

As the amount of gas and pressure of the gas remains constant therefore in accordance with Charles's law:

                                       \frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

where V_{1} and V_{2} are volume of gas at T_{1} and T_{2} temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.

Here V_{1}=158mL , T_{1}=(273+25)K=298K and V_{2}=450mL

So  T_{2}=\frac{V_{2}T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{(450mL)\times (298K)}{(158mL)}=849K 

849 K = (849-273) ^{0}\textrm{C} = 576 ^{0}\textrm{C}

So final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

a book with a mass of 1 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. what is the potential energy of the book when it reaches the floor?
mafiozo [28]
Well, first of all, the formula for finding potential energy is;
PE=mgh
  Where; m is the mass
               g is the gravitational force or acceleration due to gravity
                h is the height. 
   Anyway, according to the question, the mass is 1kg, the acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 10ms² . And the height is 3m. Now you just have to use all these in the formula. So;
mgh= 1 x 10 x 3. That will be 30. And the unit of potential energy is Joule. So the answer is 30 joules. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.
