Answer:

D

Explanation:

The amount of energy released or absorbed is equal the product of the mass, the specific heat capacity and the temperature change. The temperature change being the difference between the final and initial temperature.

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat energy (Joules, J) m = mass of a substance (kg) c = specific heat (units J/g∙K)

∆ is a symbol meaning "the change in" ∆T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)

From the data provided in the question, we can deduce that:

Q = 16.7KJ = 16,700J

m = 225g

c = 1.74J/g.k

For the temperature, let the final temperature be f. This means our ∆T = f - 20

16,700 = 225 * 1.74 * (f - 20)

16700 = 391.5 (f - 20)

f - 20 = 16700/391.5

f - 20 = 42.7

f = 20 + 42.7 = 62.7

Arisa [49]
Alkaline earth metals are metals of group two. They are divalent metals and they have a highly negative reduction potential hence the metals are mostly extracted by electrolysis.

They are highly reactive metals. They react with water but do so less readily than alkali earth metals.

Owing to their high reactivity, they are seldom found free in nature. They always occur in combined state with other highly reactive nonmetals.

In the following reaction, which element or compound is the oxidizing agent?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

O_{2} is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent is an element in a reaction that accepts the electrons of another element. It is typically hydrogen, oxide, or any halogen. In this case, it is oxygen. The answer is 02.

The mixture which contains elements only is (a) air (b) brass (c) mineral water (d) seawater
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

So yes! A mixture can contain just elements if those elements are not chemically reactive to one another. Air is a great example of an elemental mixture as it contains nitrogen, oxygen, and argon (along with some other compounds).

Explanation:

hope this helps you :)
