Answer: 1709.4 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) released on cooling a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since Q = ?

M = 18.5 grams

Recall that the specific heat capacity of copper C = 0.385 J/g.C

Φ = 285°C - 45°C = 240°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 18.5grams x 0.385 J/g.C x 240°C

Q = 1709.4 Joules

Thus, 1709.4 Joules is released when copper is cooled.

Determine how many atoms of pure silver will be created when 19.83 x 1023 atoms of copper are used in the following reaction:

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\boxed{3.966 \times 10^{24}\text{ atoms of Ag}}$

Explanation:

(a) Balanced equation

Cu + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Cu(NO₃)₂+ 2Ag

(b) Calculation

You want to convert atoms of Cu to atoms of Ag.

The atomic ratio is ratio is 2 atoms Ag:1 atom Cu

$\text{Atoms of Ag} = 19.83 \times 10^{23}\text{atoms Cu} \times \dfrac{\text{2 atoms Ag}}{\text{1 atom Cu}}\\\\= 3.966 \times 10^{24}\text{ atoms of Ag}\\\\\text{The reaction will produce }\boxed{\mathbf{3.966 \times 10^{24}}\textbf{ atoms of Ag}}$
