The statement that best describes a solution is the option C: a mixture having a uniform composition where the components cannot be seen separately and all components are in the same state.<span> That is exactly what a solution is: a homogeneous mixture, the composition is uniform, but it can vary from one solution to other. The components must be in the safe phase, but it can be any phase: solid, liquid or gas. The most classical and clear example is the salt solution, NaCl. When you dissolve a spoon of NaCl in water you will not be able to distinguish nor separating the solute from the solvent, and the mixture will have uniform composition.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
a) m = 18 kg
b) T₁ = 285 K
c) T₂ = 318 K
d) Q = 267.3 kJ
e) S = ?
<u>2) Principles and equations</u>
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed to increase the temperature of certain amount (gram, kg, or moles, depending on the definition or units) of the substance in 1 ° C or 1 K.
The mathematical relation between the specific heat and the heat energy absorbed is:
Where,
- Q is the heat absorbed,
- S is the specific heat, and
- ΔT is the temperature increase (T₂ - T₁)
<u>3) Solution:</u>
<u>a) Substitute the data into the equation:</u>
- 267.3 kJ = 18 kg × S × (318 K - 285 K)
<u>b) Solve for S and compute:</u>
- S = 267.3 kJ / (18 kg × 33 K) = 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K)
The options have not units, but I notice that the first answer is 1,000 times the answer I obtained, so I will make a conversion of units.
<u>c) Convert to J /( kg . k):</u>
- 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K) × 1,000 J / kJ = 450 J / (kg . K)
Now we can see that the option A is is the answer, assuming the units.
In balancing reactions, the number of atoms on each side should be of equal number. It is the most important rule in reactions. Also, we should know the correct substances involved in the reaction. We do as follows:
2K + MgBr2 = 2KBr + Mg
