Answer:

142.36 kg

Explanation:

volume of water in the lake = surface area x depth

= 18.5 x ( 1760 x 3 )² x 39 ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ x 28.3168 liter .

= 56.945 x 10¹⁰ liter .

concentration of mercury = .25 x 10⁻⁶ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻⁸ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ kg / liter

mass of mercury in the water of lake

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ x 56.945 x 10¹⁰ kg

= 142.36 kg .

PLS HELP!I will give brainliest! When producing hydrogen iodide, the energy of the reactants is 581 kJ/mol, and the energy of th
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Here, we are required to determine the total energy of the reaction and determine if the reaction is an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

The correct answer is option C.

First, we need to determine the energy of the reaction.

The energy of the reaction is the change in enthalpy between the product and reactants.

Change of Enthalpy,

Hreaction = Hproduct - Hreactant.

Therefore, for the reaction above, the change in enthalpy is:

Hreaction = 590kJ/mol - 581kJ/mol.

Hreaction = 9kJ/mol.

Hence, since the reaction has an enthalpy change of 9kJ/mol, the reaction is endothermic (i.e energy is absorbed).

Calculate the heat change involved when 2.00 L of water is heated from 20.0/C to 99.7/C in
IgorC [24]

Answer:

669.48 kJ

Explanation:

According to the question, we are required to determine the heat change involved.

We know that, heat change is given by the formula;

Heat change = Mass × change in temperature × Specific heat

In this case;

Change in temperature = Final temp - initial temp

                                       = 99.7°C - 20°C

                                       = 79.7° C

Mass of water is 2000 g ( 2000 mL × 1 g/mL)

Specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g°C

Therefore;

Heat change = 2000 g × 79.7 °C × 4.2 J/g°C

                      = 669,480 joules

But, 1 kJ = 1000 J

Therefore, heat change is 669.48 kJ
