A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.
Answer:
Option D. 230 J
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the temperature change of the iron. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial temperature (T₁) = 50 °C
Final temperature (T₂) = 75 °C
Change in temperature (ΔT) =?
ΔT = T₂ – T₁
ΔT = 75 – 50
ΔT = 25 °C
Thus, the temperature change of the iron is 25 °C.
Finally, we shall determine the amount of heat energy used. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (M) = 20 g
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 25 °C
Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.46 J/gºC
Heat (Q) =?
Q = MCΔT
Q = 20 × 0.46 × 25
Q = 230 J
Thus, the amount of heat used was 230 J
