Answer:
Oxidation state shows the total number of electrons which have been removed from an element (a positive oxidation state) or added to an element (a negative oxidation state) to get to its present state
Magnesium in hydrochloric acid forms H2 (hydrogen) gas according to the balanced chemical equation:
Mg + 2HCl→H2 + MgCl2
Answer:
81°C.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the relation:
<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>
where, Q is the amount of heat released from water (Q = - 1200 J).
m is the mass of the water (m = 20.0 g).
c is the specific heat capacity of water (c of water = 4.186 J/g.°C).
ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = final T - 95.0°C).
∵ Q = m.c.ΔT
∴ (- 1200 J) = (20.0 g)(4.186 J/g.°C)(final T - 95.0°C ).
(- 1200 J) = 83.72 final T - 7953.
∴ final T = (- 1200 J + 7953)/83.72 = 80.67°C ≅ 81.0°C.
<em>So, the right choice is: 81°C.</em>
