A scientist is studying a chemical reaction. She predicts that after the reaction the product will have less chemical potential

energy than the reactants had originally. The scientist observes the reaction, and notes that no light or sound is produced. However, other observations support the scientist's prediction that the total chemical potential energy has decreased. DESCRIBE one observation that would support her prediction:

Hello!

A reaction where the products have less chemical potential energy than the reactants had originally is called an exothermic reaction. Although the scientist didn't observe light or sound, an observation that would support her prediction is the rise in temperature after the reaction has completed. Exothermic reactions release energy in the form of heat, and the temperature would rise in an exothermic reaction.

Have a nice day!

The specific heat of a certain type of metal is 0.128 J/(g-°C). What is the final temperature if 305 J of heat is added to 79.3
Sati [7]

Answer:

final temp is 79.1 ºC

Explanation:

mass * specific heat * temperature change

305 J = (40.3 g)(0.128 J/g °C) ΔT.

ΔT = 305/5.158 = 59.1 ºC

20.0 + 59.1 = 79.1 ºC

A 100 gram sample of radium-226 has a half life of 1,600 years. how long will it take before before there are only 12.5 grams of
Elis [28]
Radioactivity is studied very well by scientists that they have established a pseudo-first order reaction for this process. The working equation for this problem is:

h = ln 2/k
where
h is the half-life
k is the reaction constant

1600 = ln2/k
k = 4.33×10⁻⁴/yr

Then, we use
A = A₀e^(-kt)
A is the amount left after time t
A₀ is the original amount
t is the time

12.5 = 100e(-4.33×10⁻⁴*t)
<em>t = 4,800 years</em>

An unlit match contains approximately 1,000 J of chemical energy When it burns, the match releases
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

350 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another. This means that in a system, energy is not lost.

In this question, an unlit match contains approximately 1,000 J of chemical energy. When lit, thermal and light energy are emitted i.e. it gets converted to light and heat energy. If the thermal energy emitted was measured to be 400J, and the remaining match still contains 250J of chemical energy, then:

The amount of light energy emitted will be:

Total chemical energy (1000J) - {Remaining chemical energy (250J) + emitted thermal energy (400J)}

= 1000 - (400 + 250)

= 1000 - 650

= 350

Hence, the amount of light energy emitted is 350J

Note that, the amount of energy converted (thermal and light) and remaining chemical energy still equates the total chemical energy in the match.
