Answer:
Option D. 4.02 kJ
Explanation:
A simple calorimetry problem
Q = m . C . ΔT
ΔT = Final T° - Initial T°
C = Specific heat capacity
m = mass
Let's replace the data
Q = 125 g . 2.42 J/g∘C . (34.8°C -21.5 °C)
Q= 4023.25 J
We must convert the answer to kJ
4023.25 J . 1kJ /1000 =4.02kJ
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.
The strength of an Arrhenius
acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.
For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
<span>
Weak acid partially ionize in water
and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.
For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq)
+ CN⁻(aq).
The answer for this question is D.
