<h3>Answer:</h3>

Initial temperature is 243.59°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying the mass of a substance by its specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

That is; Q = m×c×ΔT

In this case;

Quantity of heat = 560 J

Mass of the Sample of Zinc = 10 g

Final temperature = 100°C

We are required to determine the initial temperature;

This can be done by replacing the known variables in the formula of finding quantity of heat,

Specific heat capacity, c, of Zinc = 0.39 J/g.°C

Therefore,

560 J = 10 g × 0.39 J/g°C × ΔT

ΔT = 560 J ÷ (3.9 J/°C)

   = 143.59°C

But, since the sample of Zinc lost heat then the temperature change will have a negative value.

ΔT = -143.59°C

Then,

ΔT  = T(final) - T(initial)

Therefore,

T(initial) = T(final) - ΔT

              = 100°C - (-143.59°C)

              = 243.59°C

Hence, the initial temperature of zinc sample is 243.59°C

Are the following statements true or false? (a) Formal charges represent an actual separation of charges. true false (b) ΔH o rx
katrin [286]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) Formal charges represent an actual separation of charges.(FALSE)

(B) ΔHo rxn can be estimated from the bond enthalpies of reactants and products.(TRUE)

C)All second-period elements obey the octet rule in their compounds(FALSE).

(D)The resonance structures of a molecule can be separated from one another in the laboratory.(FALSE)

Bond enthalpy which is also reffered to as bond energy is the amount of energy that is required to break one mole of a bond.

taking the single bond between Oxygen and Hydrogen into considerationthe bond energy between their single bond is 463 kJ/mol.

formal charge is used for the comparison of the number of electrons present around an atom in a particular molecule with the number of electrons present around a neutral

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) What happens to the rate of most reactions as the reaction progresses? The rate remai
Sav [38]

Answer: -

The rate decreases as the concentration of the reactants decreases

Explanation: -

A reaction involves change of the reactants into products.

Initially there is only reactants. So the rate if reaction is high.

After some time there are products. So the amount of reactant is less.

Reactions involve collisions of reactant molecules. As the reactant amount decreases, collisions between the reactants decreases. As such the rate of reaction decreases with the progress of the reaction.
