By itself, i don’t think so.
though, paired with a hydrogen bond, it is.
If i’m wrong, please feel free to let me know :)
Answer: 317 joules
Explanation:
The quantity of heat energy (Q) gained by aluminium depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
In this case,
Q = ?
Mass of aluminium = 50.32g
C = 0.90J/g°C
Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)
= 16°C - 9°C = 7°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
Q = 50.32g x 0.90J/g°C x 7°C
Q = 317 joules
Thus, 317 joules of heat is gained.
Answer:
1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?
Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.
2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.
Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt
Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)
Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride
2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)
