Answer:
#1
Heat transfer occurred in the room through radiation
This is where heat is transmitted through vacuum or an empty space from a point to another.
#2
From the furnace, the air molecules nearer the region gained higher kinetic energy hence colliding with other molecules in the room. This causes a positive temperature gradient which causes an increment change in temperature in the room.
Answer : The percent by mass of water the salt contain is, 55.3 %
Explanation : Given,
Mass of hydrated salt = 12.10 g
Mass of salt = 5.41 g
First we have to calculate the mass of water.
Mass of water = Mass of hydrate salt - Mass of salt
Mass of water = 12.10 g - 5.41 g
Mass of water = 6.69 g
Now we have to calculate the percent by mass of water the salt contain.
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
Therefore, the percent by mass of water the salt contain is, 55.3 %
