c.Both the breaking of nuclear bonds and the forming of nuclear bonds.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is released by the breaking and forming of nuclear bonds. The breaking of nuclear bonds by unstable atoms is known as nuclear fission. The forming of nuclear bonds by combination of light atoms is known as nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into lighter ones with the release of energy.
In nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of large amount of energy.

Write the balanced chemical equations for the decomposition of solid calcium hydroxide into solid calcium (ii) oxide (lime) and

Lesechka [4]

Calcium oxide (CaO) or lime in solid form can be prepared from the decomposition of calcium hydroxide {Ca $(OH)_{2}$ in to lime (CaO) and water ( $H_{2}O$ at high temperature. The reaction is an endothermic reaction. That is heat is absorbed in this reaction process. One mole of calcium hydroxide decomposed into one mole of calcium oxide and one mole of water. The balanced reaction can be shown as-CaC $O_{3}$ (solid) → CaO (solid) + $H_{2}O$ (liquid). The heat of the reaction is (+) 63.7 kJ/mole of CaO.

What is the amount of heat energy absorbed when 36 grams of ice at -20oC is melted to water at 0oC?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Q = 1461.6 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 36 g

Initial temperature = -20°C

Final temperature = 0°C

Amount of heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 0°C - (-20°C)

ΔT = 20°C

Q = 36 g ×2.03 j/g.°C×20°C

Q = 1461.6 J
