Calculate the amount of energy in Joules required to change 10 g of solid mercury at its melting point to mercury vapor at the b

oiling point. The m_p, b_p, and specific heat of mercury are -39^degree C, - 375^degree C, and 0.140 J/g^degree C, respectively. Compare with the amount of heat needed to change 10 g of ice at 0^degree C to steam at 100^degree C.

Q: Calculate the amount of energy in Joules required to change 10 g of solid mercury at its melting point to mercury vapor at the boiling point. The m_p, b_p, and specific heat of mercury are -39^degree C,  375^degree C, and 0.140 J/g^degree C, respectively. Compare with the amount of heat needed to change 10 g of ice at 0^degree C to steam at 100^degree C.

Answer:

The heat required = 575.4 J

Q₂ > Q₁ (The amount of energy required by the mercury is small than the amount of energy required by the water.)

Explanation:

Q₁ = c₁m₁(T₂-T₁)....................... Equation 1

Where Q₁ = amount of heat or Energy. c₁ = specific heat capacity of mercury, m₁ = mass of mercury, T₂ = Temperature of mercury at boiling point, T₁ = Temperature of mercury at melting point.

<em>Given: m₁ = 10 g , c₁ = 0.14 J/g.°C, T₂ = 372 °C, T₁ = -39 °C</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>Q₁ = 10×0.14 (372+39)</em>

<em>Q₁ = 1.4(411)</em>

Q₁ = 575.4 J.

Thus the heat required = 575.4 J

Q₂ = c₂m₂(θ₂-θ₁)....................... Equation 2

Where Q₂ = heat required to change the temperature of water from 0 °C to 100 °C, c₂ = specific heat capacity of water, m₂ = mass of water, θ₂ = Final temperature of water, θ₁ = Initial Temperature of water.

<em>Given: m₁ = 10 g, </em>θ₂ = 100 °C, θ₁ = 0 °C

Constant: c₂ = 4.2 J/g.°C

Substituting these values into equation 2

Q₂ = 10(4.2)(100-0)

Q₂ = 4200 J.

Comparing Q₁ and Q₂,

Q₂ > Q₁

Hence the amount of energy required by the mercury is small than the amount of energy required by the water.

How does a sample of hydrogen at 10 °C compare to a sample of hydrogen at 350 K?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: -

The hydrogen at 10 °C has slower-moving molecules than the sample at 350 K.

Explanation: -

Temperature of the hydrogen gas first sample = 10 °C.

Temperature in kelvin scale of the first sample = 10 + 273 = 283 K

For the second sample, the temperature is 350 K.

Thus we see the second sample of the hydrogen gas more temperature than the first sample.

We know from the kinetic theory of gases that

The kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with the increase in temperature of the gas. The speed of the movement of gas molecules also increase with the increase in kinetic energy.

So higher the temperature of a gas, more is the kinetic energy and more is the movement speed of the gas molecules.

Thus the hydrogen at 10 °C has slower-moving molecules than the sample at 350 K.

What is the electronegativity difference for a bond between potassium and iodine? A. 3.3 B. 4.6 C. 0.4 D. 1.7
user100 [1]
Iodine has an electronegativity of 2.5, and potassium has an electronegativity of 0.8, so the difference is:
2.5 - 0.8 = 1.7
