Answer:

6.2 calories

Explanation:

Data Given:

change in temperature = 20 °C

specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C

mass of gold = 10.0 grams

Amount of Heat = ?

Solution:

Formula used

Q = Cs.m.ΔT

Where:

Q = amount of heat

Cs = specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C

m = mass

ΔT = Change in temperature

Put values in above equation

Q = 0.031 calories/gram °C x 10.0 g x 20 °C

Q = 6.2 calories

So option A is correct = 6.2 calories

Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients

Elena L [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.

Now balance the charge.

The given chemical reaction is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-$

First balance the main element in the reaction.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-$

Now balance oxygen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

Now balance the charge.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}+2e^-$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

The charges are not balanced. Now multiplying oxidation reaction by 3 and then adding both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation : $3Sb^{3+}\rightarrow 3Sb^{5+}+6e^-$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

The balanced chemical equation in acidic medium will be,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients = 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3

The sum of the coefficients = 17

Is each of the following statements true or false? Correct any that are false.

adell [148]

<u>True,</u> A mole of one substance has the same number of atoms as a mole of any other substance.

Mole, also spelled mol, in chemistry, a standard scientific unit for measuring large quantities of very small entities such as atoms, molecules, or other specified particles.

The mole designates an extremely large number of units, 6.02214076 × $10^{23}$ . The General Conference on Weights and Measures defined the mole as this number for the International System of Units (SI) effective from May 20, 2019. The mole was previously defined as the number of atoms determined experimentally to be found in 12 grams of carbon-12.

The number of units in a mole also bears the name Avogadro’s number, or Avogadro’s constant, in honour of the Italian physicist Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856). Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions contain the same number of molecules, a hypothesis that proved useful in determining atomic and molecular weights and which led to the concept of the mole.

The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 13.0 g of luminol into a total vol

Andrews [41]

Answer:

0.978 M

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of luminol (solute): 13.0 g

Volume of the solution = volume of water: 75.0 mL = 0.0750 L

We can find the molarity of the stock solution of luminol using the following expression.

M = mass of solute / molar mass of solute × liters of solution

M = 13.0 g / 177.16 g/mol × 0.0750 L

M = 0.978 M
