Answer: One technique we can use to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process is known as calorimetry. Calorimetry is used to measure amounts of heat transferred to or from a substance. To do so, the heat is exchanged with a calibrated object (calorimeter). The change in temperature of the measuring part of the calorimeter is converted into the amount of heat (since the previous calibration was used to establish its heat capacity). The measurement of heat transfer using this approach requires the definition of a system (the substance or substances undergoing the chemical or physical change) and its surroundings (the other components of the measurement apparatus that serve to either provide heat to the system or absorb heat from the system). Knowledge of the heat capacity of the surroundings, and careful measurements of the masses of the system and surroundings and their temperatures before and after the process allows one to calculate the heat transferred as described in this section.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that temperature of hot water is 40 degree celsius. So, when cold water is added into it then it will absorb heat from the hot water and hence, temperature of cold water will become equal to 40 degree celsius.

Therefore, a thermal equilibrium will be maintained as temperature of both hot and cold water becomes equal. In thermal equilibrium, hotter body loses the heat and colder body absorbs the heat.

Therefore, we can conclude that the true statement about the hot water in the calorimeter is its final temperature was 40^{o}C.

A sample of a compound contains 160 g of oxygen and 20.2 g of hydrogen. Give the compound's empirical formula.
Maslowich
Amount of oxygen in the compound = 160 g
Amount of oxygen in the compound = 20.2 gm
Mole of oxygen in the compound = 160/16
                                                     = 10 moles
Mole of hydrogen in the compound = 20.2/1.01
                                                         = 20 moles
Then
The ratio of oxygen to ration of hydrogen = 1:2
So
The empirical formula of the compound is H2O. I hope the answer has come to your help.

What causes the difference in bond angles in carbon dioxide and water?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.  

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.

In a food chain, energy does NOT flow directly from - F producer to decomposer G producer to consumer H consumer to decomposer J
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

producer to decomposer

Explanation:

This is because in a food chain , energy flow from one trophic level to another. The producer which include plants are the source of energy which they manufacture good in the presence of light energy from sun. Energy flow directly from the producer to the primary consumer which are heterotrophs that feed on plants. Energy flow from consumer to decomposer after the consumer died and it is decayed.
