Does an object that feels cold to the touch contain thermal energy? explain your answer.

1 answer:

3 0

YES - explained (Temperature is an average of the kinetic energy isn't it? Thermal energy is the total. So you could have a really big "cold" object and it would have more energy then say a small "hot" object. But the average energy of the hot object would be greater than the average of the cold object. "You only need to know the amount of thermal energy a body contains to calculate its temperature" -You need to know something about the size of the objects and the particles that made it up? "The object contains less thermal energy than your hand" -It could be a large cold object, so it could have a greater amount of energy but over a larger area, so it's just the temperature that is lower. I've only studied thermodynamics a little, but I think that's sorta right...)

Choose the thermochemical equation that illustrates ΔH°f for Li2SO4. Choose the thermochemical equation that illustrates ΔH°f fo

Deffense [45]

Answer:

2Li(s) + ⅛S₈(s, rhombic) + 2O₂(g) → Li₂SO₄(s)

Explanation:

A thermochemical equation must show the formation of 1 mol of a substance from its elements in their most stable state,.

The only equation that meets those conditions is the last one.

A and B are wrong , because they show Li₂SO₄ as a reactant, not a product.

C is wrong because Li⁺ and SO₄²⁻ are not elements.

D is wrong because it shows the formation of 8 mol of Li₂SO₄.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? A. Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units. B. Formula mass compares th

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is the choice C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.

Explanation:

1) Choice A. Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units.

Correct. Atomic mass units (a.m.u) is the standard unit used to express the mass of the atoms and the molecules.

Since, one atom, molecule, or formula unit is a tiny amount of material, it has a ver, very low mass, and the unit mass of a molecule is referred to one mole (6.022 × 10²³ units).

2) Choice B. Formula mass compares the mass of one formula unit of a substance to the mass of one atom of carbon-12.

Correct. The masses of atoms and compounds are referred to a standard. Such standard is the carbon-12 atom. This is, the cabon-12 atom was selected as the standard and its exact mass is 12 a.m.u.

3) Choice C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.

Incorrect. Atomic mass is the mass of the atoms, but, since, the mass of one atom is so small, the atomic mass is referred to one mole. Hence, the atomic mass has units of grams per mole.

4) Choice D. Both molecular mass and formula mass use carbon-12 as a reference standard.

Correct. As stated when explaining the option B, the mass of atoms, molecules, and formula units are referred to carbon-12 standard.

5) Choice E. Sodium chloride, an ionic compound, is said to have a formula weight, but not a molecular weight.

Correct. The reason is that ionic compounds form large structures (crystals) and, since there is not such thing as one molecule of them, they are said to have formula weight (or mass) but not a molecular weight.

The name molecules is reserved for covalent compounds, where you can formally identify molecules. E.g. Water is a molecular compound, and each molecule has molecular formula H₂O, whose mass is the molecular mass.
