How many kilocalories of heat are released when 75 g of steam at 100 degrees Celsius is converted to ice at 0 degrees Celsius?

VikaD [51]

Answer:

∴ Q = -7.52kCal

Explanation:

Using the formula for specific heat capacity:

Q = mcΔT

where ΔT = change in temperature (final - initial) = (0 - 100)°C = -100°C

m = mass (g) = 75g

c = specific heat capacity = 4.2 J/g°C in water

⇒ Q = 75 × 4.2 × -100

= -31,500J

But 1J - 0.000239kCal

∴ Q = -7.52kCal

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction? Fe2S3 + 12HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3S + 6NO2 + 6H2O Which substance

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another. but itself undergoes a reduction .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3
