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...)

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.

Answer: The true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

$Au$

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

Option 1: Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

$Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Option 2: Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

$Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)$

Option 3: Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

$Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Coefficients are used in a chemical formula to show the number of each element. True or False

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The same number of each element present before the reaction takes place must also be present on the product side of the equation. Coefficients are placed in front of a chemical formula to show the number of moles of that substances that are necessary for the reaction to occur.

Ammonia can be determined spectrophotometrically by reaction with phenol in the presence of hypochlorite (OCl−):

Valentin [98]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Molar absorptivity, also known as the molar extinction coefficient, is a measure of how well a chemical species absorbs a given wavelength of light.

It is commonly used in chemistry and should not be confused with the extinction coefficient, which is used more often in physics.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step solution of the given problem.
