Answer:

The question is partially wrong. For spills of strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide, it must be neutralized with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. Otherwise, for acid spills, neutralize them with sodium bicarbonate. The reactions are as follows:

Base spills: H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide forming sodium sulfate and water.

Acid spills: H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 → Na2SO4 + 2CO2 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate forming sodium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

For the destruction of strong inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) they must be neutralized with a dilute solution of sulfuric acid or a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid.

For the destruction of strong inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, they must be neutralized with an inorganic base such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

NAHCO3 <span>doesn't help basic spills. It's slightly basic itself. It's good for acid spills though. It's not a very strong base so any leftover NaHCO3 won't be a hazard.
I DONT KNOW about h2so4</span>

Elis [28]

Answer:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

Explanation:

According to the question, a  battery was used  to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When  the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire.  This caused the iron to heat up quite well.

Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.

The graph above shows the changes in temperature recorded for the 2.00 l of h2o surrounding a constant-volume container in which
Otrada [13]

Answer:

25.2 kJ

Explanation:

The complete question is presented in the attached image to this answer.

Note that, the heat gained by the 2.00 L of water to raise its temperature from the initial value to its final value comes entirely from the combustion of the benzoic acid since there are no heat losses to the containing vessel or to the environment.

So, to obtained the heat released from the combustion of benzoic acid, we just calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of the water.

Q = mCΔT

To calculate the mass of water,

Density = (mass)/(volume)

Mass = Density × volume

Density = 1 g/mL

Volume = 2.00 L = 2000 mL

Mass = 1 × 2000 = 2000 g

C = specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

ΔT = (final temperature) - (Initial temperature)

From the graph,

Final temperature of water = 25°C

Initial temperature of water = 22°C

ΔT = 25 - 22 = 3°C

Q = (2000×4.2×3) = 25,200 J = 25.2 kJ

Hope this Helps!!!
