When two substances at different tempeartures como into contact, the substance that is at higher temperature will transfer energy, in the form of heat, to the substance that is at lower temperature, until their temperatures get equal.

In this case, if the two substances are isolated of the rest of the universe, the law of conservation of energy states tha the heat released by the substance initially at higher temperature is the same amount of heat gained by the substance originally at lower temperature.

A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad
Umnica [9.8K]

We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>

Using the law of conservation of energy what is the kinetic energy at D
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.

Explanation:

This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside.

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 162. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, w
puteri [66]

Answer:

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>

Explanation:

given that enthalpy of gaseous reactants decreases by 162KJ and workdone is -194KJ

then,

change in enthalpy (ΔH) = -162( released energy)

work(w) = -194KJ

change in enthalpy is said to be negative if the heat is evolved during the reaction while heat change(ΔH) is said to be positive if the heat required for the reaction occurs.

At constant pressure the change in enthalpy is given as

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

ΔU = change in energy

ΔV = change in volume

P = pressure

w =  -pΔV

therefore,

ΔH = ΔU -W

to evaluate  energy change we have,

ΔU =ΔH + W

ΔU = -162+ (-194KJ)

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>
