Answer : The heat energy absorbed by the sample was 6.2 calories.

Explanation :

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

where,

Q = heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of gold = 10.0 g

c = specific heat of gold = 0.031cal/g^oC

\Delta T = change in temperature  = 20.0^oC

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

Q=10.0g\times 0.031cal/g^oC\times 20.0^oC

Q=6.2cal

Therefore, the heat energy absorbed by the sample was 6.2 calories.

10 grams of gold would have a specific heat of 0.31 calories ie 10 x 0.031 and if heated up by 20.0 degrees centigrade then 20.0 x 0.31 would be a 6.2 calorie increase in heat. In other words, the specific heat means that it is the calories produced in the gram of gold by a 1 degree rise in degrees centigrade.

Complete the equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar (sucrose). C12H22O11 + 11 H2SO4 ? 12 + 11 H2SO4 + 11
serg [7]

Answer :

The complete equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar is,

C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+11 H_2SO_4\rightarrow 12C+11H_2SO_4+11H_2O

By the stoichiometry of the reaction,

1 mole of sucrose react with the 11 moles of sulfuric acid to give 12 moles of carbon and 11 moles of water.

In this reaction, sulfuric acid react with sucrose (sugar). It dehydrates the sugar molecules which means it eliminates the water.

The hydrogen bonding in water creates ________, a cohesive force that enables one to slightly overfill a glass with water or all
ziro4ka [17]

Answer: -

Surface Tension

Explanation: -

Surface tension is cohesive force created as a result of hydrogen bonding, that enables a liquid drop to have a minimum surface area.

Due to it being cohesive, the water top surface is concave in nature, allowing us to hence slightly overfill a glass with water.

Due to surface tension, the surface of water behaves like a stretched membrane, allowing dense objects like a length wise steel needle to float on water.

Thus, the hydrogen bonding in water creates __surface tension__, a cohesive force that enables one to slightly overfill a glass with water or allows denser objects, such as a lengthwise steel needle, to float on water

4.How element gold is different from oxygen?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Gold is a metal, more specifically a transition metal, whereas Oxygen is a nonmetal, more specifically a reactive nonmetal. Using this information, you can compare and contrast metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

Metals are:

Shiny

High melting point

Mostly silver or gray in color

Mostly solids at room temperature – Mercury (Hg) is a liquid at room temperature

Malleable – able to be hammered into a thin sheet

Ductile – able to be drawn/pulled into a wire

Good conductors of heat and electricity

Nonmetals are:

Dull

Low melting point

Brittle – break easily

Not malleable

Not ductile

Poor conductors of heat and electricity

Metalloids are:

Found on the “zig-zag” line on the Periodic Table of Elements

Have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Can be shiny or dull

Semiconductors – able to conduct electricity under certain conditions
