Answer:

5447.93 KJ

Explanation:

Given:

The number of moles of octane , n = 0.015

Mass of the water heated, m = 250 grams

Temperature change of the water, ΔT = 371.2 K - 293.0 K = 78.2 K

The specific heat capacity of the water, C = 4.18 J/k g

Now,

the heat acquired by the water, Q

Q = mCΔT

on substituting the values, we get

Q = 250 × 4.18 × 78.2

or

Q = 81.719 KJ

Now, the heat of combustion = Q / n = 81.719 / 0.015  = 5447.93 KJ

Properties of substances can be classified as physical or chemical properties. Which statements describe chemical properties? (C
Tamiku [17]

The correct answers are options C, that is, silver tarnishes and becomes black when exposed to oxygen, and option E, that is, diesel fuel burns when it is heated.  

Chemical changes refer to the modifications in which the chemistry at molecular level is modified as the initial substance gets transformed into a new and different final substance. This change occurs with the dissociation of old bond and production of new bonds respectively.  

Silver gets tarnished and becomes black when exposed to oxygen. This refers to a chemical change as silver a white and lustrous substance gets transformed into a tarnish black final substance. However, silver does not easily react with oxygen at usual circumstances. It easily reacts with sulfur comprising components in the air and generates black compound as Ag₂S.  

Burning of diesel fuel when it is heated. Diesel refers to a mixture of hydrocarbons varying approximately from C₁₀H₂₀ to C₁₅H₂₈. When these hydrocarbons get burnt they generate novel substances, that is, carbon dioxide and water. Hence, it is also a chemical reaction.

Why are relative atomic masses on the periodic tables not whole numbers?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

They are averages.

Explanation:

atomic numbers on periodic tables are derived from the average value of all the isotopes of the element. So being averages they are sometimes not integers.
