Answer:
a) heat it from 23.0 to 78.3
q = (50.0 g) (55.3 °C) (2.46 J/g·°C) =
b) boil it at 78.3
(39.3 kJ/mol) (50.0 g / 46.0684 g/mol) =
c) sum up the answers from the two calculations above. Be sure to change the J from the first calc into kJ
Explanation:
An exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is released to the environment in form of heat or light. Endothermic reaction in the other hand is a chemical reaction where energy is taken from the surroundings and thus the surroundings end up with less energy than they started with. In this case; the above reaction is an Exothermic reaction (heat is being released to the surroundings).
