Answer:
C-Electrical energy changed into mechanical energy
Explanation:
Energy, according to the law of conservation of energy, is said to neither be created or lost but only interchangeable from one form to another. Energy exists in different forms. The process by which one form of energy changes to another is called TRANSFORMATION of energy.
However, certain household appliances or devices bring about this transformation of energy. For example, in a case where Tony turns a fan on when his room becomes uncomfortably hot. The fan uses an electric source to get powered on, which then facilitates the blades of the fan to move fast in order to bring about a cool atmosphere.
The fan converts ELECTRICAL energy (electric source) into MECHANICAL energy (moving energy).
The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:
3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂
This is a redox reaction, which <u>is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.
<u>The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,</u>
425.0 mL x

x
= 5.52 g
So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.
