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.

Given the following reaction: 3D(g) + E(g) + 2F(g) → 5G(g) + 4H(g)
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

The law of mass action, allows us to know the required amounts, thus, for this chemical reaction it is:

\frac{1}{-3} \frac{d[D]}{dt} =\frac{1}{-1} \frac{d[E]}{dt} =\frac{1}{-2} \frac{d[F]}{dt} =\frac{1}{5} \frac{d[G]}{dt} =\frac{1}{4} \frac{d[H]}{dt}

Now, we answer:

(a)

\frac{d[H]}{dt}=4*\frac{1}{-3} *(-0.12M/s)=0.16M/s

(b)

\frac{d[E]}{dt}=-1*\frac{1}{5} *(0.2M/s)=-0.04M/s

(c) Since no initial data is specified, we could establish the rate of the reaction as based of the law of mass action:

r=\frac{1}{-3} \frac{d[D]}{dt} =\frac{1}{-1} \frac{d[E]}{dt} =\frac{1}{-2} \frac{d[F]}{dt} =\frac{1}{5} \frac{d[G]}{dt} =\frac{1}{4} \frac{d[H]}{dt}

Thus, any of the available expressions are suitable to quantify the rate of the reaction.

Best regards.

Which of the following reactions below could be properly categorized as a synthesis reaction?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

A synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product. Synthesis reactions release energy in the form of heat and light, so they are exothermic. An example of a synthesis reaction is the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen.
