The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane.   A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.

A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The
True [87]
First, in order to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in help in identifying it, we must find the heat absorbed by the calorimeter using:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
Q = 250 * 1.035 * (11.08 - 10)
Q = 279.45 cal/g

Next, we use the same formula for the metal as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heal released by the metal.

-279.45 = 50 * c * (11.08 - 45) [minus sign added as energy released]
c = 0.165

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.165 cal/gC

Oksanka [162]

Answer: b) positron

Explanation:

The antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron is called positron.

The positron has an electric charge of +1 e and same mass as an electron. When a positron collides with an electron, annihilation takes place.
