Full Question:

Although it is not really a chemical reaction, one could consider a cooling process to be analogous to the enthalpy change that occurs in a reaction. Consider the transformation

Fe (s, T = 300 K) → Fe (s, T = 250 K)

If the specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/g·K, what is the enthalpy change of this process for 100 g of Fe (s)? Is the process endothermic or exothermic? Explain.

Answer:

ΔH = - 2245J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity, Cp = 0.449 J/g·K

ΔH=MCpΔT

ΔT = 250K - 300K = - 50K

ΔH = 100 * 0.449 * (-50)

ΔH = - 2245J

The iron will lose (give off) heat energy to cool down. Hence, it is an exothermic process. The negative sign of the enthalpy confirms this.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:Although the term is quite new, our connection to nature is not. We depend on nature for our survival - without healthy ecosystems, our drinking water isn’t clean nor is the air we breathe. We also enjoy nature... studies show that people who spend time in nature tend to be happier than those that don’t. It can even act as a natural anti-depressant. With industry and urban sprawl expanding at unprecedented rates, Ecosystem Services attempt to translate the benefits we receive from nature into economic terms so we can better understand the trade-offs we are making between nature and industrial development.
