How much thermal energy is added to 10.0 g of ice at −20.0°C to convert it to water vapor at 120.0°C?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

7479 cal.

31262.2 joules

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem where water in its three states changes from ice to vapor.

We must use, the calorimetry formula and the formula for latent heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = Clat . m

First of all, let's determine the heat for ice, before it melts.

10 g . 0.5 cal/g°C ( 0° - (-20°C) = 100 cal

Now, the ice has melted.

Q = Clat heat of fusion . 10 g

Q = 79.7 cal/g . 10 g → 797 cal

We have water at 0°, so this water has to receive heat until it becomes vapor. Let's determine that heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 1 cal/g°C (100°C - 0°C) → 1000 cal

Water is ready now, to become vapor so let's determine the heat.

Q = Clat heat of vaporization . m

Q = 539.4 cal/g . 10 g → 5394 cal

Finally we have vapor water, so let's determine the heat gained when this vapor changes the T° from 100°C to 120°

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 0.470 cal/g°C . (120°C - 100°C) → 94 cal

Now, we have to sum all the heat that was added in all the process.

100 cal + 797 cal + 1000 cal + 5394 cal + 94 cal =7479 cal.

We can convert this unit to joules, which is more acceptable for energy terms.

1 cal is 4.18 Joules.

Then, 7479 cal are (7479 . 4.18) = 31262.2 joules

Western regions Facts

babunello [35]

This region has both the state with the smallest population (Wyoming) and the largest population (California).
Alaska's land area is much bigger than any other state, but it has one of the lowest populations.
The western US takes up about half of the land of the United States.

The western United States is the region comprising the westernmost states of the United States. As American settlement in the U.S. expanded westward, the meaning of the term the West changed. Before about 1800, the crest of the Appalachian Mountains was seen as the western frontier.

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

Arrange the elements in decreasing order of first ionization energy.

just olya [345]

Answer:

The decreasing order of first ionization energy: Se > Ge > In > Cs

The decreasing order of first ionization energy: x > y > z

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed to completely pull out an electron from the valence shell of a neutral gaseous atom.

First ionization energy is the energy involved in the removal of first valence electron.

In the periodic table, down the group, as atomic radius of elements increases, the ionization energy decreases

Whereas, across a period, as atomic radius of elements decreases, the ionization energy increases.

PART (A):

Position of the given elements in the periodic table:

Indium (In): Group 13, period 5

Germanium (Ge): Group 14, period 4

Selenium (Se): Group 16, period 4

Caesium (Cs): Group 1, period 6

Thus, the increasing order of atomic radius: Se < Ge < In < Cs

Therefore, the decreasing order of first ionization energy: Se > Ge > In > Cs

PART (B):

Given elements:

element x: radius = 110 pm

element y: radius = 199 pm

element z: radius = 257 pm

Thus, the increasing order of atomic radius: x < y < z

Therefore, the decreasing order of first ionization energy: x > y > z
