The answer would be C. In fact, letter A already defines the Law of Definite Proportions. On the other hand, J.J. Thomson was responsible for the discovery of electrons through cathode ray tube experiments. The rest of the choices are true.
Answer is B. gas formation
Answer:
8.3 kJ
Explanation:
In this problem we have to consider that both water and the calorimeter absorb the heat of combustion, so we will calculate them:
q for water:
q H₂O = m x c x ΔT where m: mass of water = 944 mL x 1 g/mL = 944 g
c: specific heat of water = 4.186 J/gºC
ΔT : change in temperature = 2.06 ºC
so solving for q :
q H₂O = 944 g x 4.186 J/gºC x 2.06 ºC = 8,140 J
For calorimeter
q calorimeter = C x ΔT where C: heat capacity of calorimeter = 69.6 ºC
ΔT : change in temperature = 2.06 ºC
q calorimeter = 69.60J x 2.06 ºC = 143.4 J
Total heat released = 8,140 J + 143.4 J = 8,2836 J
Converting into kilojoules by dividing by 1000 we will have answered the question:
8,2836 J x 1 kJ/J = 8.3 kJ
