If the temperature of 15 grams of water changes from 21C to 24C, how many joules of heat were involved? Show work
goblinko [34]

Answer:

189 Joules

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............. equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = Initial Temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 15 grams = 0.015 kg, t₁ = 21 °C, t₂ = 24 °C

Constant: c = 4200J/kg.°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 0.015×4200×(24-21)

Q = 0.015×4200×3

Q = 189 Joules

Estimate the ph of the resulting solution prepared by mixing 1.0 mole of solid disodium phosphate (na2hpo4) and 1.25 mole of hyd
GenaCL600 [577]

The HCl added = 1.25 moles

and the moles of Na2HPO4 = 1 mole

Now when acid is added in the given solution of Na2HPO4

One mole of H+ will react with one mole of Na2HPO4 to given one mole of NaH2PO4

Na2HPO4  + H+  ---> NaH2PO4

Now this one mole formed NaH2PO4 will further react with 0.25 moles of H+ left to form 0.25 moles of  H3PO4 and 0.75 moles of NaH2PO4 will remain in the solution

So this will result into formation of a buffer of phosphoric acid and NaH2PO4

NaH2PO4  + H+  ---> H3PO4

pKa of H3PO4 = 2.1

so pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] = 2.1 + log [0.75 / 0.25] = 2.58

so the pH will be in between 2.1 to 7.2

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction.
Murljashka [212]

<u>Answer:</u> The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}. Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle
