How does heat transfer between objects

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat can transfer between objects in two different ways. Generally, heat will travel from places of higher heat to places of lower heat.

The first is conduction. This is when the object being heated and releasing heat are in direct contact. Not as much heat is lost in this process, since the thermal energy has nowhere else to go except for the object it is touching. An example would be putting a kettle on a hot stove, but it could also be grabbing a cold pole with your relatively warm hands.

The second is convection. This is where heat is radiated into the air, and thus, transferred by the air, to another object. The actual heat that you feel is actually electromagnetic waves, and its transfer from an object is called electromagnetic radiation. Convection is the heat you feel from a near fire or a space heater. This is also why wind is present in our atmosphere.

There is also radiation. This is caused from the burning or breaking down of a substance. This might come from the sun.

What is the mass of 0.513 mol Al2O3? Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures. (Molar mass of Al2O3 = 102.0

prisoha [69]

.513mol x (102g/1mol)

Essentially, this is .513 x 102
Which equals: 52.326
But because you can only have 3 significant figures, your answer is:
52.3 grams

I hope this Helps!

Given:

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy

Explanation:

Given;

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O, ΔH = -890 kJ/mol

From the combustion reaction above, it can be observed that;

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy.

Now, we convert 59.7 grams of methane to moles

CH₄ = 12 + (1x4) = 16 g/mol

59.7 g of CH₄ $= \frac{59.7}{16} = 3.73125 \ moles$

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy

3.73125 moles of methane (CH₄) will release ?

= 3.73125 moles x -890 kJ/mol

= -3320.81 kJ

Therefore, the combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy

What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for the combustion of ethane, c2h6? in this reaction,

Vitek1552 [10]

Balance equation for combustion of ethane will be:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

To balance the equation:

1. Balance the number of carbon atom on both side:

C₂H₆(g) + O₂(g)--------> CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

1. balance the number of carbon on both side, as in reactant there are 2 but in product one,

so , multiply the CO₂, by 2 in the product.

2. Balance the number of hydrogen on both side as in reactant the number of hydrogen is 3 but in product it is 6 so, multiplythe number of H₂O by 3,

so multiply the number of H₂O by 3 in product.

3. Balance the number of oxygen on both side , as 1 and 2 step increases the number of oxygen and it becomes 7 , so to balance the number of oxygen on both side by mutiplying the number of O₂ by 7/2 in reactant .

4. Now, doubling the equation will give balance equation that is:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)
