J= (12)(1.8)(2.5)

J=54

Answer:

-54 J

Explanation:

Here we have to use the specific heat equation,

Q = mc∆T

where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity and ∆T is the change of temperature.  

Given,  

m = 12 g

c = 2.5 J/g⋅°C

∆T  = Tfinal - Tinitial = 36.7 °C - 38.5 °C  = -1.8 °C

Plugging the numbers in the specific heat equation,

Q =  12 g  x 2.5 J/g⋅°C x - 1.8 °C = -54 J

As heat is released Q has a negative sign. When heat is absorbed Q has a positive sign.

The boiling point of water is 100ºC. The boiling point of acetone is 56ºC. Which statement about distilling a mixture of acetone
Anika [276]

Answer:

I think  Acetone will be  captured and cooled.

Explanation:

Distillation is a method of separation based on the difference in boiling point of two liquids.

The liquid that has a lower boiling point is first separated from the mixture. It vaporizes, cooled and collected before the liquid that has a higher boiling point.

In this case, acetone is captured and cooled before water since it has a boiling point of 56ºC and water has a boiling point of 100ºC.

Identify the catalyst in this reaction, explain how
telo118 [61]

Question:

Sulfuric acid was once produced through the reaction of sulfur trioxide with water. Sulfur trioxide can form through the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen gas. When nitrogen monoxide gas is added to the system, the reaction speeds up significantly because it proceeds through the following steps:

equations

Identify the catalyst in this reaction, explain how you know it is the catalyst, and describe how it increases the rate of the reaction.

Answer:

NO

It is present but not consumed

NO Lowers the activation energy of the reaction

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that is present in a chemical reaction and enables the reaction to occur at a faster rte but does not take part n the reaction

Therefore, whereby NO is not consumed, it is the catalyst

It functions by lowering the activation energy
