Answer:

Energy released as heat will be -189.417 Kj

Explanation:

The oxidation is the type of reaction in which reaction occurs in the presence of oxygen. The exothermic reaction is the type of reaction in which heat is released. The enthalpy is the type of physical quantity that is used to measure the energy in the thermodynamic system.

As we know the molar mass of Copper II Oxide is 79.545 g

Also the oxidation of copper(II) oxide, CuO(s), is an exothermic process, 2Cu2O (s) + O2-->4CuO (s) delta H reaction= -292.0 kj/mol.

So for 51.60g of Copper II Oxide,

Heat released will be (-292.0 * 51.60/79.545) = -189.417 Kj

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?

maria [59]

The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference $\Delta T$ is
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ}$ is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J$
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

Tpy6a [65]

Current will be $I=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{Z}=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{\sqrt{ R^{2}+(X_{C}-X_{L})^{2}}}\\where~X_{c}=\dfrac{1}{j.\omega .C}~and~X_{L}=j.\omega.L~where~\omega=2.\pi f~and~f=60Hz$
now just pluf in the values and Voila..
