17. ΔH rxn is the enthalpy of a reaction. It is the amount of energy or heat absorbed in a reaction. If enthalpy is positive, it means the reaction absorbs heat, which means it is endothermic. If the enthalpy is negative, it means the reaction release heat, which means it is exothermic.
18. yes, it is possible in theory but it is not necessary. Water is the ideal, cheaper, and most abundant liquid for a calorimeter.
19. Specific heat= heat/mass*Temp. the mass is already known You can place the piece of metal in a calorimeter filled with water. the piece of metal and water must be at different temperatures. Ideally, you would heat up the water and let it cool down. This change in temperature in the temperature that goes into the formula for the piece of metal. The only missing value is the heat which can be easily calculated because water' specific heat is known which can be used to calculate the heat loss by the water, which is the same as the heat gain by the piece of metal. With all the three values calculated and measured, you can simply plug them into the formula and solve for the specific heat of the metal.
Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Biopower means production of electricity with the help of biomass. The unused wood, crops, agricultural residue, animal residue etc when burned then they help in generating biopower.
It is a renewable energy. Since biomass is readily available in most of the places. Therefore, the advantage of biopower is that it is also readily available in most places.
For example, bacterial decay produces a certain amount of heat which further helps in the production of energy.
