Suppose you had a 2.4 g cracker burn down to 1.3 g, which raised the temperature of 50.1 g of water by 12.0 degrees Celsius. How

many kilocalories of heat energy was released by the cracker (or absorbed by the water) per gram of cracker

Answer:

We know that the specific heat of water is:

c = 1cal/g*°C

This means, that we need 1 cal to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C

Here, we increased the temperature of 50.1g of water by 12°C

Then the number of calories needed to do this is given by:

x = (mass of water in grams)*(how much increased the temp in °C)*1cal/g*°C

x = (50.1g*12°C)*1cal/g*°C = 601.2 cal

But we want this in Kcal, remember that:

1Kcal = 1000cal

Then:

601.2 cal = (601.2/1000) Kcal = 0.6012 Kcal

Now, for the cracker part, the energy was released by the amount of cracker that was burned.

The original mass was 2.4g

the final mass ios 1.3g

the difference is:

2.4g - 1.3g = 1.1g

This means that 1.1g was the burned mass.

The number of kilocalories of heat per gram released by the cracker is just:

n = (0.6012 Kcal)/(1.1 g) = 0.547 Kcal/g

0.547 kilocalories per gram.

Identify each process as endothermic or exothermic and indicate the sign of H . (a) an ice cube melting (b) nail polish remover
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:an ice cube melting ∆H=+ve

nail polish remover quickly evaporating after it is accidentally spilled on the skin ∆H=-ve

gasoline burning within the cylinder of an automobile engine ∆H=-ve

Explanation:

In an endothermic process, such as the melting of an ice cube, heat is absorbed from the surrounding. The enthalpy change is positive. The evaporation a nail polish and burning of gasoline are exothermic processes which lead to the release of heat to the surrounding. The sign of the enthalpy change in both cases is negative.

Which describes the boundary where earthquake activity occurs along rift valleys? divergent boundary in the ocean divergent boun
Mila [183]

Answer:

Divergent boundary on land

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region that forms where Earth’s tectonic plates move apart (diverge), or rift. Rift valleys are found both on land and at the bottom of the ocean, where they are created by the process of seafloor spreading.

Rift valleys are created by tectonic activity and not the process of erosion.

Tectonic plates are huge, rocky slabs of Earth's lithosphere—its crust and upper mantle. Tectonic plates are constantly in motion—shifting against each other in fault zones, falling beneath one another in a process called subduction, crashing against one another at convergent plate boundaries, and tearing apart from each other at divergent plate boundaries.

The most well-known rift valley on Earth is probably the so-called "Great Rift Valley System" which stretches from the Middle East in the north to Mozambique in the south. The area is geologically active, and features volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, and frequent earthquakes.

Suppose hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium sulfite yielding water, sulfur dioxide, and potassium chloride. Suppose 4 moles
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

128 grams of sulfur dioxide are produced.

Explanation:

2HCl+K_2SO_3\rightarrow SO_2+2KCl+H_2O

Moles of HCl = 4 moles

According to reaction, 2 moles of HCl gives 1 mole of sulfur dioxide gas.

Then 4 moles of HCl will give:

\frac{1}{2}\times 4 moles=2 moles of sulfur dioxide gas.

Mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 2 mol × 64 g/mol = 128 g

128 grams of sulfur dioxide are produced.
