Answer:

Specific heat capacity of metal is 2.09 j/g.°C.

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Given data:

Mass of metal = 15.5 g

Initial temperature = 165.0°C

Initial temperature of water = 23.0°C

Final temperature = 30.0°C

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Volume of water = 150.0 mL or 150.0 g

Solution:

Formula:

- Qm  =  +Qw

Now we will put the values in formula.

-15.5 g × c × [ 30.0°C - 165.0°C] = 150 g × 4.184 J/g°C × [ 30.0°C - 23.0°C]

15.5 g × c × 135°C = 4393.2 j

2092.5 g.°C  × c = 4393.2 j

c = 4393.2 j/2092.5 g.°C  

c = 2.09 j/g.°C

Nitroglycerin (c3h5n3o9) is a powerful explosive. its decomposition may be represented by 4c3h5n3o9 → 6n2 12co2 10h2o o2 this re
professor190 [17]
The balanced chemical reaction describing this decomposition is as follows:
<span>4c3h5n3o9 .............> 6N2 + 12CO2 +10H2O + O2

From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of carbon = 12 grams
Therefore:
mass of </span><span>C3H5N3O9 = 3(12) + 5(1) + 3(14) + 9(16) = 227 grams
mass of O2 = 2(16) = 32 grams

From the balanced chemical equation:
4(227) = 908 grams of </span>C3H5N3O9 produce 32 grams of O2. Therefore, to know the amount of oxygen produced from 4.5*10^2 grams <span>C3H5N3O9, all we need to do is cross multiplication as follows:
amount of oxygen = (4.5*10^2*32) / (908) = 15.859 grams</span>

Which is an example of a double
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction that occurs when two reactants exchange cations or anions to yield two new products.

From all the reactions given ,

  • 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl is an example of combination reaction because two or more reactants (Na & Cl₂) react with each other to form a single product (NaCl)
  • H₂SO₃ → H₂O + SO₂ is an example of decomposition reaction because a single reactant (H₂SO₃) breaks down into two or more products (H₂O & SO₂).
  • 2K + 2H₂O → 2KOH + H₂ is an example of displacement reaction because a highly reactive element (K) displaces a least reactive element (H) from its compound (H₂O).
  • NaCl + AgF → NaF + AgCl is an example of double replacement reaction because there's an exchange between Cations (Na^+ & Ag^{+}) and Anions (Cl^- & F^-).
