Answer : Initial temperature of the water is 518.3 K

Explanation :

The specific heat of water (Cp) can be expressed in 2 ways

1) Cp = 1 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹ or

2) Cp = 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹

The amount of heat absorbed by water is given by the following equation.

Q = m×Cp×ΔT

Here Q is the amount of energy absorbed in kilojoules

m is the mass of water in kilograms

Cp is specific heat of water

ΔT is the difference is temperature of water.

We have been given that

Q = 87 kJ

Cp = 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹

m = 587.00 kg

Let us plug in these values in equation for Q

Q = mxCpxΔT

87 kJ = 587.00 kg x 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹ x ΔT

87/587.00 = ΔT

ΔT = 0.15 K

ΔT is calculated as Tf - Ti where Tf is the final temperature and Ti is the initial temperature .

We know that Tf = 518.4 K

And we calculated ΔT as 0.15 K.

Let us plug these values in the equation

ΔT = Tf - Ti

0.15 K = 518.4 K - Ti

Ti = 518.25 K

Initial temperature of the water is 518.3 K

What is △n for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

-1  

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant , 0.082057 L atm.mol⁻¹K⁻¹

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2Na_{(s)}+2H_2O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons 2NaOH_{(aq)}+2H_2_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)  = (2+1)-(2+2) = -1  </u>

How do the rates of the forward and reverse reactions change throughout a reaction?
fenix001 [56]
The rates of the forward and reverse reaction depends on the temperature on which the reaction will proceed, either endothermic of exothermic. it also depends of the concentration of the reactants and products. if the reaction is exothermic, so if the reaction temperature is increased then it will favor the forward reaction, then if the reaction is lowered then it will favor the reverse reaction

A 4-g mass of NaOH is dissolved in 5mL of water.
lapo4ka [179]
Molar mass NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Volume in liters of solution :

5 mL / 1000 => 0.005 L 

number  of moles :

4 / 40 => 0.1 moles

M = n / V

M = 0.1 / 0.005

 = 20 mol/L or 20 M

hope this helps!
