What causes thermal energy to be released

Chemistry

Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

1.The electonic configuration of elements and their position in the periodic table are related to each other, From the electronic configuration of the elements, we can determine the period and the group to which the element belongs

Let's consider, sodium with atomic number 11 and k, l, and M shells have 2,8,and 1 electrons. since, there are 3 principal energy levels so we concluded sodium belongs to third period M Shell(valance shell) has only 1 electrons. so sodium belongs to group 1.

2. Entire D-block elements are known as Transition Elements.

3. Group 17 is the halogen group.

4. Main group of elements are...... 1,2, and 13 through 18.

5. Group 18 are the noble gas elements .

12. a). Smaller

b). Increases

c). More reactive

d). Softer

7. a). k › Ca › Ge › Br › Kr

b). Ra › Ba › Sr › Ca › Mg › Be

9. a). Ca(calcium) ion is smaller.

b). Cl(chlorine) atom is smaller.

c). Mg(magnesium) atom is smaller.

10. a). F(fluorine)

b). Sr(strontium)

c). Pb(lead)

d). At(Astatine)

Calculate the specific heat of a substance when 63j of energy are transferred as heat to an 8.0 g sample to raise it temperature
Flura [38]

The formula for energy or enthalpy is:

E = m Cp (T2 – T1)

where E is energy = 63 J, m is mass = 8 g, Cp is the specific heat, T is temperature

 

63 J = 8 g * Cp * (340 K – 314 K)

<span>Cp = 0.3 J / g K</span>

A buffer is composed of nh3 and nh4cl. How would this buffer solution control the ph of a solution when a small amount of a stro
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant

Explanation:

In this buffer following equilibrium exists -

NH_{3}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)+OH^{-}(aq.)

So, OH^{-} is involved in the above equilibrium.

When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of OH^{-} increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of OH^{-} and keep same equilibrium constant.

Therefore excess amount of OH^{-} combines with NH_{4}^{+} to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.
