Answer:
Exothermic Reaction
Explanation:
The test tube feels hot as a result of an increase in temperature of the surroundings. This means that due to the reaction between zinc metal and hydrochloric acid, heat was released. The hot test tube indicates that this is an exothermic reaction.
Answer:
100Jkg/°C
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of metal = 2kg
Amount of heat energy = 1600J
Initial temperature = 5°C
Final temperature = 13°C
Unknown:
Specific heat capacity of the metal = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of unit mass of a body by 1°C.
H = m x C x (T₂ - T₁ )
H is the amount of heat
m is the mass
C is the unknown specific heat capacity
T is the temperature
Insert the parameters and solve;
1600 = 2 x C x (13 - 5)
1600 = 16C
C = 100Jkg/°C
Answer:
Mass of hydrogen produced =2.28 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of tin = 67.3 g
Mass of hydrogen produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Sn + 2H₂O → SnO₂+ 2H₂
Number of moles of Sn:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 67.3 g/ 118.71 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.57 mol
Now we will compare the moles of tin with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.
Sn : H₂
1 : 2
0.57 : 2×0.57 = 1.14
Mass of hydrogen:
Mass = number of moles ×molar mass
Mass = 1.14 mol × 2 g/mol
Mass = 2.28 g
