A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 3.30kg of water at 23.8°C. Dur

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$T_2= 31.9\°C$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it is possible to propose an energy balance in order to illustrate how the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water:

$-Q_{rxn}=Q_{water}$

Thus, since the heat released by the reaction is -112 kJ (-112000 J), it is possible to define the hear absorbed by the water in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change:

$-(-112000J)=m_{water}C_{water}(T_2-T_1)$

In such a way, it is possible to define the final temperature as shown below:

$T_2=23.8\°C+\frac{112000J}{3300g*4.18\frac{J}{g\°C} }\\\\T_2= 31.9\°C$

Best regards!

Conserving water can save money while protecting the environment. True or False

blagie [28]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Water is a natural resource present in the nature and it is very precious as life without it is impossible.

So, when we unnecessarily use water then it means we are wasting a natural resource that cannot be reproduced again by human beings.

Therefore, more we are able to conserve water more we can protect other human life's and environment also.

If there is shortage of water then its prices will go high and hence we need to pay more for it.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conserving water can save money while protecting the environment, is true.

A 3.4 g sample of sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 10.9 g. The two substances react, rel

natima [27]

Answer: 2.7 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$NaHCO_3(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

Given: mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.4 g

mass of acetic acid = 10.9 g

Mass of reactants = mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate+ mass of acetic acid = 3.4 + 10.9= 14.3 g

Mass of reactants = Mass of products in reaction vessel + mass of carbon dioxide (as it escapes)

Mass of carbon dioxide = 14.3 - 11.6 =2.7 g

Thus the mass of carbon dioxide released during the reaction is 2.7 grams.
