Answer:

74.3kJ are transeferred

Explanation:

In the bomb calorimeter, the burning of C₈H₁₈ is producing heat that is been absorbed for the calorimeter and the water.

<em>Heat absorbed calorimeter:</em>

837J/°C * (33.8°C-15.0°C) = 15735.6J

<em>Heat absorbed water:</em>

C*m*ΔT

<em>C specific heat of water (4.184J/g°C), m is mass of water (745g), and ΔT change in temperature (33.8°C - 15°C = 18.8°C)</em>

4.184J/g°C*745g*18.8°C = 58601.1J

Heat released by the reaction:

15735.6J + 58601.1J = 74336.7J

<h3>74.3kJ are transeferred</h3>

Which equation represents a neutralization reaction?
Harrizon [31]

Answer: HCI + KOH → KCI + H20

Explanation:

HCI(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCI(aq) + H20(l)

Acid + base → Salt + Water.

The above is a neutralization reaction in which an acid, aqeous HCl reacts completely with an appropriate amount of a base, aqueous KOH to produce salt, aqueous KCl and water, liquid H2O only.

This is a neutralization reaction since, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HCl is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the KOH to form the water molecule, H2O and salt, KCl only.

How is the periodic law demonstrated in halogens
inn [45]
Halogens is defined as the group of 7 periodic table. As, every periodic table contains 7 valence electrons and they only need 1 more to complete an outer shell, that is why they are extremely reactive. And according to the law that recurring patterns of the properties of elements arise when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. As the halogen all act very similarly with each other in chemical reaction, it is true.
