If the specific heat of water is 1.0 calorie/gram°c, how many calories are required to raise 500 g of water 10.0°c?

We can use the equation to find out
E = mc△T
E is the total energy (calories) needed, m for mass, c for specific heat capacity and △T for the temperature change.
Substitute the numbers given
E = 500 x 1 x 10
E =5000
Therefore the answer is 5000Cal

Which reaction represents the process of neutralization? Mg(s)+2HCl(aq) MgCl 2 (aq)+H 2 (g) HCl(aq)+KOH(aq) KCl(aq)+H 2 O(l) C.

Alex

Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is the process between an acid and a base (there are a number of different ways to define acids and bases). An acid is a compound, which dissolves in water by releasing H+ ions, and a base is a compound, which dissolves in water by releasing OH- ions (by Arrhenius' definition, the simplest one). In this case, the neutralization reaction is the process between HCl (hydrochloric acid) - an acid, and KOH (potassium hydroxide) - a base.

The valences of metal x,y and z are 1,2 and 3 respectively. What are the formulae of their;a) hydroxides, b) sulphates, c) hydro

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

AS we know that the valence for those metals X, Y, and Z are 1, 2 and 3, we can determine the formula of each compound.

1. Hydroxides.

An hydroxide is formed when an oxyde of a metal reacts with water. When this happens, the general molecular formula is:

Meₐ(OH)ₙ

Where:

a: valence or charge of the hydroxide (Which is -1)

n: valence of the metal.

Following this, the formula for X, Y and Z would be:

XOH

Y(OH)₂

Z(OH)₃

2. Sulphates

Sulphates follow a similar rule of hydroxide in the general molecular formula, but instead of having a charge of -1, it has a charge of -2 so:

Mₐ(SO₄)ₙ

So, following the rule:

X₂SO₄

Y₂(SO₄)₂ ------> YSO₄

Z₂(SO₄)₃

3. Hydrogens

Following the same rule as the previous, hydrogens works with a charge of -1, so:

MₐHₙ

Then:

YH₂

ZH₃

4. Carbonates.

This follows the same rule as sulphates, with the same charge so:

Mₐ(CO₃)ₙ

Then:

X₂CO₃

YCO₃

Z₂(CO₃)₃

5. Nitrates

Follow the same rule as the hydroxides, with the same charge of -1.

Mₐ(NO₃)ₙ

Then:

XNO₃

Y(NO₃)₂

Z(NO₃)₂

6. Phosphates

In the case of phosphates, these have a charge of -3 so:

Mₐ(PO₄)ₙ

Then:

X₃PO₄

Y₃(PO₄)₂

Z₃(PO₄)₃ ----> ZPO₄

Hope this helps

The compound FeCI3 is made of ?

Natasha2012 [34]

Hello! Your answer is C, one atom of iron and three atoms of chlorine.

In this case, there is some ambiguity with "Cl". It could be C + I, or Cl. (One being carbon + iodine and the other Chlorine). However, we can see that the only choice that mentions iodine states two atoms, which is incorrect, as if it was iodine, the 3 indicates that there would be three atoms.

Therefore, Cl must be chlorine. If you look at choice C, there are three atoms of chlorine, as indicated by the 3 at the end of the Cl. There is also one molecule of Fe, as there is no number at the end of it so there has to be only one.

B is not correct, as carbon would be only "C". A is not correct as a molecule is a collection of atoms bonded together, therefore, this compound could be named a molecule, but there are not multiple molecules inside this compound.

Hope this helps!
