While camping you light a small campfire, initiating the combustion of wood to produce heat and

Chemistry

Answer:

A. It is exothermic

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen present in air to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water as well release  heat and light energy.Combustion is an exothermic process.

An exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy required to form new bonds in the products in an exothermic reaction.

From the given options;

A. It is exothermic is determinable since the reaction is a combustion reaction

B. The bond making energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather it is composed of various substances.

C. It is endothermic. is wrong because combustion of wood is exothermic.

D. The bond breaking energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather is composed of many substances.

Part 1: A sample of silver (Ag) has a mass of 31.78 g.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<h3>  Part A</h3>

 The   molar  mass of   silver = 107.87 g/mol  ( <em>from periodic table)</em>

<h3>  part  B</h3>

 The   moles of  silver   is 0.2946  moles

<u><em>calculation</em></u>

moles =mass÷  molar   mass

    = 31.78 g  ÷ 107.87 =0.2946 moles


<h3>part  c</h3>

The  number of atoms  of silver  that are  in this sample is 1.773 x 10²³  atoms

  <u><em>calculation</em></u>

According  to Avogadro's  law   1  mole  =   6.02 x 10²³  atoms

                                                  0.2946   moles= ? atoms

by  cross  multiplication

= [ (0.2946  moles x 6.02 x 10²³ ) / 1 mole]  = 1.773 x 10²³ atoms

How do i describe how a constant volume calorimeter can be used to measure the heat transferred from a burning piece of coal to
zepelin [54]
 calorimeter<span> is a device used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process. For example, when an exothermic reaction occurs in solution in a calorimeter, the heat produced by the reaction is absorbed by the solution, which increases its temperature. When an endothermic reaction occurs, the heat required is absorbed from the thermal energy of the solution, which decreases its temperature (</span>[link]<span>). The temperature change, along with the specific heat and mass of the solution, can then be used to calculate the amount of heat involved in either case.</span>

Calculate the percent ionic character of a chemical bond between beryllium and fluorine
a_sh-v [17]
The percent ionic character is a quantity that measure how ionic the bond is. To scale, a perfect ionic bond would have 100% ionic character, while a perfect covalent bond would have 0% ionic character. What makes a bond ionic? An ionic bond is the bonding of a cation and anion together that complete their individual state by reacting their extra valence electrons. The stronger the ionic bond, the greater the electronegativity of the atoms are. Electronegativity is the ability of the atom to attract electrons toward itself. So, the formula for percent ionic character is:

percent ionic character = (1- e^{-( \frac{1}{4})( x^{F} - x^{Be} )} )*100

where 
x^Be is the electronegativity of Beryllium equal to 1.57
x^F is the electronegativity of Fluorine equal to 3.98

percent ionic character = (1- e^{-( \frac{1}{4})(3.98-1.57)} )*100

percent ionic character = 45.26%

How is the mass of a liquid substance affected after it boils?
Damm [24]
The boiling point is defined as the temperature...

The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the ambient pressure, and bubbles of vapor form directly in the liquid. The normal boiling point is specified when the ambient pressure is 1 atm

Of course, if we reduce the ambient pressure, the boiling point will substantially be reduced, and this is the example of the principle of vacuum distillation, where an otherwise in volatile liquid is distilled under high vacuum.
