Answer:
6.2 calories
Explanation:
Data Given:
change in temperature = 20 °C
specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C
mass of gold = 10.0 grams
Amount of Heat = ?
Solution:
Formula used
Q = Cs.m.ΔT
Where:
Q = amount of heat
Cs = specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C
m = mass
ΔT = Change in temperature
Put values in above equation
Q = 0.031 calories/gram °C x 10.0 g x 20 °C
Q = 6.2 calories
So option A is correct = 6.2 calories
You can use the equation ΔS(surr)=q(surr)/T or ΔS(surr)=-q(rxn)/T.
the two equations are equal since we know that the energy the system (reactoin) puts out just goes into the surroundings.
(In other words q(surr)=-q(rxn))
Using the equation, <span>ΔS(surr)=-(-283kJ/298K)=0.9497kJ/K or 949.7J/K
This answer makes sense since the reaction is exothermic which means it released energy into the system which usually causes the entropy to increase.
I hope that helps.</span>
35 Celsius minus the average 20 Celsius. going to be 15. let me know if u need anything else.
