Answer:
Explanation:
State symbols are used in chemical equations to delineate the state of matter in which the reaction is taking place.
They give a good perspective of the state of the reactants and products obtainable.
There are basically four states of matter in every chemical reaction:
- Solids are symbolized by small letter (s)
- Liquids are represented by (l)
- Gases are shown by (g)
- Aqueous solutions having water as the medium by (aq)
These symbols appear as subscript in front of the chemical species.
Answer:
c = 0.898 J/g.°C
Explanation:
1) Given data:
Mass of water = 23.0 g
Initial temperature = 25.4°C
Final temperature = 42.8° C
Heat absorbed = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C
ΔT = 42.8°C - 25.4°C
ΔT = 17.4°C
Q = 23.0 g × × 4.18 J/g°C × 17.4°C
Q = 1672.84 j
2) Given data:
Mass of metal = 120.7 g
Initial temperature = 90.5°C
Final temperature = 25.7 ° C
Heat released = 7020 J
Specific heat capacity of metal = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 25.7°C - 90.5°C
ΔT = -64.8°C
7020 J = 120.7 g × c × -64.8°C
7020 J = -7821.36 g.°C × c
c = 7020 J / -7821.36 g.°C
c = 0.898 J/g.°C
Negative sign shows heat is released.
We are given with a compound, Zinc (Zn) having a 1.7 x 10
^23 atoms. We are tasked to solve for it's corresponding mass in g. We need to
find first the molecular weight of Zinc, that is
Zn= 65.38 g/mol
Not that 1 mol=6.022x10^{23} atoms, hence,
1.7 x 10 ^23 atoms x 1 mol/6.022x10^{23} atoms x65.38
g/ 1mol
=18.456 g of Zn
Therefore, the mass of Zinc 18.456 g
Answer:
Likely to gain electrons
Explanation:
The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.
- Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- The atom has 16 electrons
- the number of valence electrons is 6
- If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
- Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet
The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
The forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate once at equilibrium.
