The answer is C. The answer is C because if u increase the surface area, the more reactants u will get. and if u get more The reactants will move faster. Hoped that Helped!:-)
Answer:
37.1°C.
Explanation:
- Firstly, we need to calculate the amount of heat (Q) released through this reaction:
<em>∵ ΔHsoln = Q/n</em>
no. of moles (n) of NaOH = mass/molar mass = (2.5 g)/(40 g/mol) = 0.0625 mol.
<em>The negative sign of ΔHsoln indicates that the reaction is exothermic.</em>
∴ Q = (n)(ΔHsoln) = (0.0625 mol)(44.51 kJ/mol) = 2.78 kJ.
Q = m.c.ΔT,
where, Q is the amount of heat released to water (Q = 2781.87 J).
m is the mass of water (m = 55.0 g, suppose density of water = 1.0 g/mL).
c is the specific heat capacity of water (c = 4.18 J/g.°C).
ΔT is the difference in T (ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = final temperature - 25°C).
∴ (2781.87 J) = (55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C)(final temperature - 25°C)
∴ (final temperature - 25°C) = (2781.87 J)/(55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C) = 12.1.
<em>∴ final temperature = 25°C + 12.1 = 37.1°C.</em>
A chemical reaction does happen between sodium and water to form Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Hydrogen Gas (H-2)
Transition metals are from group 3 to group 12.
