17. An industrially important element contains

Chemistry
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Iron (Fe)

Explanation:

The number of electrons (-) is usually the same as the number of protons (+) in the atom of the element (unless it is an ion).

The element described has 26 electrons, so we can assume that it has 26 protons as well. The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number of element that the atom is.

Element 26 on the PTE is Iron (Fe), which does rust (oxidation) in air and water.

Calculate the entropy change for the reaction: Fe2O3(s) +3C(s) -> 2Fe(s) + 3CO(g)
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Standard Entropy of Fe₂O₃ = 90Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of C = 5.7Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of Fe = 27.2Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

Standard Entropy of CO = 198Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

To find the entropy change of the reaction, we first write a balanced reaction equation:

                              Fe₂O₃ +  3C →  2Fe + 3CO

To calculate the entropy change of the reaction we simply use the equation below:

      ΔS = ∑S_{products} - ∑S_{reactants}

Therefore:

     ΔS = [(2x27.2) + (3x198)] - [(90) + (3x5.7)] = 648.4 - 107.1

                          ΔS = +541.3Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

A 2kg metal cylinder is supplied with 1600J of energy to heat it from 5*C to 13*C. What is the SHC of the metal?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

100Jkg/°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of metal  = 2kg

Amount of heat energy  = 1600J

Initial temperature  = 5°C

Final temperature = 13°C

Unknown:

Specific heat capacity of the metal  = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of unit mass of a body by 1°C.

  H  = m x C x (T₂ - T₁ )

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

C is the unknown specific heat capacity

T is the temperature

     Insert the parameters and solve;

  1600 = 2 x C x (13 - 5)

   1600  = 16C

        C = 100Jkg/°C
