Mark as brainliest if it helped Thanks!!

Explanation:

Chemical reactions often involve changes in energy due to the breaking and formation of bonds. Reactions in which energy is released are exothermic reactions, while those that take in heat energy are endothermic.

Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. Substances are either chemical elements or compounds. A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products.

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.

The overall charge of an atom is ________ if the number of electrons is ________ than the number of protons.

miss Akunina [59]

The overall charge of an atom is positive if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons are positively charged particles. If there are less electrons as compared to the number of protons in an atom, then naturally the overall charge of the atom would be positive since there are excess protons. Another case would be that the overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom having more electrons than the number of the protons present would lead to a negative value of the charge since there are excess electrons.

\The specific heat of aluminum is 0.21 cal g°C . How much heat is released when a 10 gram piece of aluminum foil is taken out of

atroni [7]

<u>Answer: </u>The amount of heat released is 84 calories.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The equation used to calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:

$Q= m\times c\times \Delta T$

where,

Q = heat gained or released = ? Cal

m = mass of the substance = 10g

c = specific heat of aluminium = 0.21 Cal/g ° C

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}=(10-50)^oC=-40^oC$

$Q=10g\times 0.21Cal/g^oC\times-40^oC$

Q = -84 Calories

Hence, the amount of heat released is 84 calories.

A compound has the empirical formula CH2O. If the compound’s molecular mass is 180 g/mol, determine the molecular formula of the

Umnica [9.8K]

The molecular formula will be a multiple of the empirical CH2O. One unit of CH2O has a mass of 12+2*1+16 = 30 g. This means that if our compound has a molecular mass of 180 g/mol, we can divide 180 / 30 = 6 units, and our compound has 6 units of CH2O. This means that its molecular formula is C6H12O6.

What type of decay characterizes the change of radioactive nuclides to their respective daughter products?

tigry1 [53]

I believe the correct answer is the second option. The type of decay that characterizes the change of nuclides to their respective daughter products would be exponential decay. This type of decay is characterized by the decrease of quantity of a material according to the equation y=ab^x.
