Answer:

None of the options are correct. The correct answer is 30020J

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass (M) = 2000g

Initial temperature (T1) = 10°C

Final temperature (T2) = 29°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 - T1 = 29°C - 10°C = 19°C

Heat (Q) =?

Specific heat capacity (C) of granite = 0.79J/g°C

Applying the equation Q = MCΔT, the heat absorbed by the granite rock can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 2000 x 0.79 x 19

Q = 30020J

Calculate the molality of isoborneol in the product if, a) the melting point of pure camphor is 179°C and the melting point take

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The molality of isoborneol in camphor is 0.53 mol/kg.

Explanation:

Melting point of pure camphor= T =179°C

Melting point of sample = $T_f$ = 165°C

Depression in freezing point = $\Delta T_f=?$

$\Delta T_f=T- T_f=179^oC-165^oC=14^oC$

Depression in freezing point is also given by formula:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$K_f$ = The freezing point depression constant

m = molality of the sample

i = van't Hoff factor

We have: $K_f$ = 40°C kg/mol

i = 1 ( organic compounds)

$\Delta T_f=14^oC$

$14^oC=1\times 40^oC kg/mol\times m$

$m=\frac{14^oC}{1\times 40^oC kg/mol}=0.35 mol/kg$

The molality of isoborneol in camphor is 0.53 mol/kg.

K forms the compound K2O , which is an ionic compound that is brittle. Identify another element, M , that is likely to form a br

meriva

The metal is sodium, Na.

<u>Explanation:</u>

K₂O is an ionic compound in which K is in the oxidation state of +1 and it belongs to group 1.

Group 1 elements also form oxides with the metals with the general formula M₂O and M being Na, K, Li and so on.

Metals Like sodium and Potassium are so brittle in nature and also their oxides.

So the other metal that form metal oxide which is brittle as well as ionic in nature, and so the metal oxide is Na₂O.

So the metal is sodium, Na.
