Answer:

52.1 degrees C

Explanation:

We need to use the equation: q = mCΔT, where m is the mass in grams, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Here, m = 10 g and q = 125 J. The heat capacity of iron is about 0.461 J/(g * C). And, our initial temperature is 25. So:

125 J = (10 g) * (0.461 J/(g * C)) * (T_f - 25)

Solving for T_f (final temp), we get: 52.1 degrees C

Hope this helps!

Consider the following reaction, which is spontaneous at room temperature. C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) Is ΔS positive o

Ugo [173]

Answer:

∆H = negative and ∆S = positive.

Explanation:

The reaction given in the question is spontaneous at room temperature ,

hence ,

The the gibbs free energy , i.e. ,∆G will be negative for spontaneous reaction

According to the formula ,

∆G = ∆H -T∆S

The value of ∆G can be negative , if ∆H has a negative value and ∆S has a positive value , because , T∆S , has a negative sign .

Hence , the answer will be , ∆H = negative and ∆S = positive.

Ferrophosphorus (Fe2P) reacts with pyrite (FeS2) producing iron(II) sulfide and a compound that is 27.87% P and 72.13% S by mass

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound = $P_4S_{10}$

The empirical formula of the compound = $P_2S_{5}$

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction:

$4Fe_2P+18FeS_2\rightarrow 26FeS+P_4S_{10}$

Explanation:

Compound that is 27.87% P and 72.13% S by mass and has a molar mass of 444.56 g/mol.

Molar mass of compound = 444.56 g/mol

Number of phosphorus atom = x

Number of sulfur atom = y

Atomic mass of phosphorus 31 g/mol

Atomic mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Percentage of element in compound :

$=\frac{\text{number of atoms}\times text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100$

Phosphorus :

$27.87\%=\frac{x\times 31 g/mol}{444.56 g/mol}\times 100$

x = 4

Sulfur :

$72.13\%=\frac{y\times 32 g/mol}{444.56 g/mol}\times 100$

y = 10

The molecular formula of the compound = $P_4S_{10}$

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

The empirical formula of the compound = $P_2S_{5}$

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction:

$4Fe_2P+18FeS_2\rightarrow 26FeS+P_4S_{10}$
