They are all <u>non-metal elements</u>.
Answer:
A piece of unknown solid substance weighs 437.2 g, and requires 8460 J to increase its temperature from 19.3 °C to 68.9 °C.
What is the specific heat of the substance?
If it is one of the substances found in Table 8.1.1, what is its likely identity?
Remember, 1 mole= 6.022x10^23 atoms, molecules, or formula units.
Answer is 1.42x10^24
Answer:
3.07 Cal/g
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter
We will use the following expression.
Q = C × ΔT
where,
- C: heat capacity of the calorimeter (37.60 kJ/K = 37.60 kJ/°C)
- ΔT: temperature change (2.29 °C)
Q = 37.60 kJ/°C × 2.29 °C = 86.1 kJ
According to the law of conservation of energy, the heat released by the candy has the same magnitude as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter.
Step 2: Convert 86.1 kJ to Cal
We will use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4.186 kJ.
86.1 kJ × 1 Cal/4.186 kJ = 20.6 Cal
Step 3: Calculate the number of Cal per gram of candy
20.6 Cal/6.70 g = 3.07 Cal/g
Answer:
single replacement
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
single replacement = A reaction in which one element replaces a similar element in a compound. For example, a metal replaces an other metal.
The general form of a single-replacement (also called single-displacement) reaction is:
A+BC→AC+B
Decomposition = a reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. The general form of a decomposition reaction is:
AB→A+B
Synthesis = A reaction that occurs when one or more compounds combines to form a complex compound:
A + B → AB
Double replacement: a reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.
The general form of a double-replacement reaction is:
AB+CD→AD+BC
Combustion reaction = a reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. Combustion reactions must involve O2 as one reactant.
The reaction Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
⇒ Does not involve O2 = NOT a combustion reaction
⇒ The compounds do not form a complex compound = NOT a synthesis
⇒ A compound does not break down into smaller substances = NOT a decomposition
⇒ There is a replacement between Zn and H. This is a <u>single replacement</u>, not a double replacement reaction.
