Answer:
151.1J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of iron = 6.21g
Initial temperature of iron = 25°C
Final temperature of iron = 79.8°C
Unknown:
Amount of heat = ?
Solution:
The amount of heat require to cause this temperature can be determined using the expression below;
H = m c (T₂ - T₁)
H is the amount of heat
m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
T is the temperature
Specific heat capacity of iron 0.444J/g°C
Insert the parameters and solve;
H = 6.21 x 0.444 x (79.8 - 25)
H = 151.1J
The formula for the compounds in the reaction are as follows with the respective states
Carbon monoxide - CO (g)
hydrogen - H₂ (g)
methane - CH₄(g)
water - H₂O (l)
reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas gives rise to methane and water
the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows
CO(g) + 3H₂(g) --> CH₄(g) + H₂O(l)
Each water molecule consists of two atoms of the element hydrogen joined to one atom of the element oxygen. An interesting property of water is the ability of its molecules to “stick together.” This occurs because one side of each water molecule is slightly negative and the other side is slightly positive. The positive portion of a water molecule is attracted to the negative portion of an adjacent water molecule. As a result, water molecules are called polar molecules. They attract other water molecules like little magnets. It is most likely ionic bonding but between hydrogen and oxygen it is covalent.
