Answer:

10 degree C

Explanation:

Q = 500 kcal = 500 x 1000 x 4.186 J = 2.1 x 10^6 J

V = 50 liter

m = Volume x density = 50 x 10^3 x 1000 = 50 kg

Let ΔT be the rise in temperature.

Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg C

Q = m x c x ΔT

2.1 x 10^6 = 50 x 4186 x ΔT

ΔT = 10 degree C

What is the difference between elastic PE and gravitational PE?

asambeis [7]

Elastic potential energy is kind of like pulling on something and then letting it go, with rubber bands, or a bow, or a slingshot, something with elastic properties.
Gravitational potential energy has to do with how high something is, and has to do with earth’s gravitational pull.

Answer:

v = 54.2 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use energy conservation for this problem.

Starting point Higher

Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower

$Em_{f}$ = K = ½ m v²

Em₀ = Em_{f}

m g h = ½ m v²

v² = 2gh

v = √ 2gh

Let's calculate

v = √ (2 9.8 150)

v = 54.2 m / s

ome metal oxides can be decomposed to the metal and oxygen under reasonable conditions. 2 Ag2O(s) → 4 Ag(s) + O2(g) Thermodynami

yuradex [85]

Answer : The values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $62.2kJ,132.67J/K\text{ and }22.66kJ$ respectively.

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Ag_2O(s)\rightarrow 4Ag(s)+O_2(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^o)$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{product}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{Ag}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Ag)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]-[n_{Ag_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Ag_2O)}]$

where,

$\Delta H^o$ = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_f^0$ = standard enthalpy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta H^o=[4mole\times (0kJ/mol)+1mole\times (0kJ/mol)}]-[2mole\times (-31.1kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta H^o=62.2kJ=62200J$

conversion used : (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction $(\Delta S^o)$ .

$\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{product}$

$\Delta S^o=[n_{Ag}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(Ag)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(O_2)}]-[n_{Ag_2O}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(Ag_2O)}]$

where,

$\Delta S^o$ = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta S_f^0$ = standard entropy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta S^o=[4mole\times (42.55J/K.mole)+1mole\times (205.07J/K.mole)}]-[2mole\times (121.3J/K.mole)]$

$\Delta S^o=132.67J/K$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

As we know that,

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o$

At room temperature, the temperature is 298 K.

$\Delta G^o=(62200J)-(298K\times 132.67J/K)$

$\Delta G^o=22664.34J=22.66kJ$

Therefore, the values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $62.2kJ,132.67J/K\text{ and }22.66kJ$ respectively.
