Answer: It is an exothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.
Explanation:
Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant are less than the energy of product. In endothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, positive
Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product. In exothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, negative.
Thus as energy is absorbed by water, which has been released by NaOH, the process is exothermic.
Explanation:
a) The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.
Thus, 
To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:
Also,
![m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_1%5Ctimes%20c_1%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_1%29%3D-%5Bm_2%5Ctimes%20c_2%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_2%29%5D)
..........(1)
where,
q = heat absorbed or released
= mass of aluminium = 45 g
= mass of coffee = 180 g
= final temperature = ?
= temperature of aluminium = 
= temperature of coffee = 
= specific heat of aluminium = 
= specific heat of coffee= 
Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:
![45 g\times 0.80J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-24^oC)=-[180 g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-83^oC)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=45%20g%5Ctimes%200.80J%2Fg%5EoC%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-24%5EoC%29%3D-%5B180%20g%5Ctimes%204.186J%2Fg%5EoC%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-83%5EoC%29%5D)
80.30 °C is the final temperature.
b) Energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.Whenever two bodies with different energies and temperature come in contact. And the resulting temperature of both bodies will less then the body with high temperature and will be more then the body with lower temperature.
So, is our final temperature of both aluminium and coffee that is 80°C less than initial temperature of coffee and more than the initial temperature of the aluminum.
Answer:
B. It undergoes a physical change.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since we know that chemical changes lead to the formation of new atoms and/or compounds due to the bonds rearrangement of the initial substances and the physical changes occur without changing the composition of the initial substances, we can infer that, since melting is a process that changes the phase of matter from solid to liquid without changing the identity of the initial substance, the answer to this question would be B. It undergoes a physical change. because the other options describe chemical changes.
Best regards!
