An exothermic reaction is conducted in an insulated calorimeter filled with water. The calorimeter is then sealed so that there

is no heat exchanged between the contents of the container and the surrounding air. All of the following statements correctly describe what will happen over the course of the reaction except Your answer: A. the thermometer will show an increase in temperature. B. the potential energy of the products will be lower than that of the reactants. C. the total energy inside the calorimeter will decrease. D. the water increases in temperature as the reaction gives off heat.

Answer: option <span>C. the total energy inside the calorimeter will decrease.
</span>

Justification:

The answer is a direct application of the first law of thermodynamic (the law of conservation of energy).

By telling that the t<span>he calorimeter is sealed so that there is no heat exchanged between the contents of the container and the surrounding air, the first law of thermodynamics implies that the total energy inside the calorimeter will not change.
</span>

<span>That statement, without adding any more is enough justification.
</span>

Regarding, the other statements, you can show they are true:

<span>A. the thermometer will show an increase in temperature.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Since the reaction is exothermic, the heat released will increase the temperature inside the sealed calorimeter,which, of course, is shown by the termometer.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>B. The potential energy of the products will be lower than that of the reactants.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In any exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants, because the heat released is lost by the reactants when they react and transform into the products.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>D. The water increases in temperature as the reaction gives off heat</span>.

Sure. The heat cannot leave the sealed calorimeter, but the water inside the calorimeter will absorb that heat: the molecules of water will gain kinetic energy and so its temperature will be increase.

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
LenaWriter [7]
The density of He is 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL
In other words in 1 mL there's 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g of He. 
To fill a volume of 6.3 L the mass of He required 
    = 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL * 6300 mL
   = 11 277 * 10⁻⁴ g
  Therefore mass of He required = 1.1277 g of He

How many grams of F are in 12.56 g of SF6? h.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

9.80 g

Explanation:

The molecular mass of the atoms mentioned in the question is as follows -

S = 32 g / mol

F = 19 g / mol

The molecular mass of the compound , SF₆ = 32 + ( 6 * 19 ) = 146 g / mol

The mass of 6 F = 6 * 19 = 114 g /mol .

The percentage of F in the compound =

mass of 6 F / total mass of the compound * 100

Hence ,  

The percentage of F in the compound = 114 g /mol  / 146 g / mol * 100

78.08 %

Hence , from the question ,

In 12.56 g of the compound ,

The grams of F = 0.7808 * 12.56 = 9.80 g

I will give brainliest!! How long is the pencil? Make sure to use the appropriate amount of significant figures.
8090 [49]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The bottom of pencil is placed at the starting point of scale. Whereas the tip of pencil depicts the end point of its length.

The bottom of pencil is at 0 mm and tip of pencil is at 18.73 mm. The appropriate amount of significant figures is 18.73 mm.

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options, pencil is 18.73 mm long.

In what areas of the periodic table do you find the least reactive elements?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Noble gases are nonreactive, nonmetallic elements in group 18 of the periodic table. Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. That's because they have eight valence electrons, which fill their outer energy level.

Elements: Argon
