Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) + H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) Which statement is true about energy in this reaction? A. The reaction is exothermic because it releases heat.
Answer:
a
Explanation:
the solution is extremely acidic and will dissolve the zinc rod
Answer:
25.907°C
Explanation:
In Exercise 102, heat capacity of bomb calorimeter is 6.660 kJ/°C
The heat of combustion of benzoic acid is equivalent to the total heat energy released to the bomb calorimeter and water in the calorimeter.
Thus:

= heat of combustion of benzoic acid
= heat energy released to water
= heat energy released to the calorimeter
Therefore,
![-m_{combust}*H_{combust} = [m_{water}*c_{water} + C_{calori}]*(T_{f} - T_{i})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-m_%7Bcombust%7D%2AH_%7Bcombust%7D%20%3D%20%5Bm_%7Bwater%7D%2Ac_%7Bwater%7D%20%2B%20C_%7Bcalori%7D%5D%2A%28T_%7Bf%7D%20-%20T_%7Bi%7D%29)
1.056*26.42 = [0.987*4.18 + 6.66](
- 23.32)
27.8995 = [4.12566+6.660](
- 23.32)
(
- 23.32) = 27.8995/10.7857 = 2.587
= 23.32 + 2.587 = 25.907°C
The volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature so the answer is A.
441 g CaCO₃ would have to be decomposed to produce 247 g of CaO
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
Decomposition of CaCO₃
CaCO₃ ⇒ CaO + CO₂
mass CaO = 247 g
mol of CaO(MW=56 g/mol) :

From equation, mol ratio CaCO₃ : CaO = 1 : 1, so mol CaO :

mass CaCO₃(MW=100 g/mol) :
