When an endothermic chemical reaction (the system) occurs inside a calorimeter containing water (the surroundings) and no heat e
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

b. Heat flows from the surroundings to the system and the temperature of the water decreases.

Explanation:

The laws of thermodynamics lets us know that energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. Also, energy transfer does accompany chemical reactions in the form of heat.

For an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings. This leads to a drop in the temperature of the surroundings as energy is removed.

This implies that the water temperature decreases.

Substance A has the following properties.
ella [17]

It will take 1.11 min to heat the sample to its melting point.

Melting point = - 20°C

Boiling point = 85°C

∆H of fusion = 180 J/g

∆H of vap = 500 J/g

C(solid) = 1.0 J/g °C

C(liquid) = 2.5 J/g °C

C(gas) = 0.5 J/g °C

Mass of sample = 25 g

Initial temperature = - 40°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Rate of heating = 450 J/min

Specific heat capacity formula:- q = m ×C×∆T

Here, q = heat energy

        m = mass

        C = specific heat

      ∆T = temperature change

Melting point = - 20°C

C(solid) = 1.0 J/g °C

∆T = final temperature - initial temperature = -20 - (-40) = 20

Put these value in  Specific heat capacity formula

q = m ×C×∆T

q = 25×1.0×20

   =500J

The Rate of heating = 450 J/min

i.e. 450J = 1min

so, 500J = 1.11min

1.11 minutes does it take to heat the sample to its melting point.

The specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat absorbed in line with unit mass of the material whilst its temperature increases 1 °C.
