Answer:

Heat absorbed by water = 3985.26 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 75 g

Initial temperature = 20.0°C

Final temperature = 32.7°C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 j/g.°C

Heat absorbed by water = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 32.7°C - 20°C

ΔT = 12.7 °C

Q = 75 g ×4.184 j/g.°C ×12.7 °C

Q = 3985.26 j

1. A gas having the following composition is burnt under a boiler with 50% excess air.

The composition of the stack gas are :

$CH_4$ = 0.8713

$C_3H_8$ = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

<h3 /><h3>What is a mole fraction?</h3>

The ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components.

Assuming 100 g of the stack gas. Calculate the mass of each species in this sample according to their percentages.

Mass of $CH_4$ : 70% of 100 g = 70 g

Mass of $C_3H_8$ : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Mass of CO : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Now calculate the number of moles of each species:

Number of moles of $CH_4$ : $\frac{70 g}{16.04 g/mol}$ = 4.3 mole

Number of moles of $C_3H_8$ : $\frac{15 g}{144.1 g/mol}$ = 0.10 mole

Mass of CO : $\frac{15 g}{28.01 g/mol}$ = 0.53 mole

Now to calculate the mole fraction of each we use the formula:

Mole fraction of $CH_4$ : $\frac{4.3}{4.935}$ = 0.8713

Mole fraction of $C_3H_8$ : $\frac{0.10}{4.935}$ = 0.0202

Mole fraction of CO : $\frac{0.53}{4.935}$ = 0.107

Hence, composition of the stack gas are:

$CH_4$ = 0.8713

$C_3H_8$ = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the following: H2S(aq) + Cl2(g) -> S(s) + 2HCI (aq)

alexgriva [62]

The oxidizing and reducing agent in the above redox reaction are hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and Chlorine (Cl) respectively.

<h3>What is an oxidizing and reducing agent?</h3>

An oxidizing agent is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from another substance and as a result, becoming reduced.

On the other hand, a reducing agent is any substance that reduces or donates electrons to another and as a result becomes oxidized.

According to this reaction; H2S(aq) + Cl2(g) -> S(s) + 2HCI (aq)

H2S accepts electrons from Cl2 and becomes reduced to S
Cl2 donates electrons to H2S and becomes oxidized to HCl

Therefore, the oxidizing and reducing agent in the above redox reaction are hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and Chlorine (Cl) respectively.
