Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus of the atom contains the protons and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged)

Does it take more, less, or the same amount of heat to melt 1.0 kg of ice at 0°C, or to bring 1.0 kg of liquid water at 0°C to t

Murljashka [212]

Answer : It takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Solution :

The process involved in this problem are :

$(1):H_2O(s)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC)\\\\(2):H_2O(l)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC)$

Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed in both processes.

<u>For process 1 :</u>

$Q_1=m\times \Delta H_{fusion}$

where,

$Q_1$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water or ice = 1.0 Kg

$\Delta H_{fusion}$ = enthalpy change for fusion = $3.35\times 10^5J/Kg$

Now put all the given values in $Q_1$ , we get:

$Q_1=1.0Kg\times 3.35\times 10^5J/Kg=3.35\times 10^5J$

<u>For process 2 :</u>

$Q_2=m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

$Q_2$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 1.0 Kg

$c_{p,l}$ = specific heat of liquid water = $4186J/Kg^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $0^oC$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $100^oC$

Now put all the given values in $Q_2$ , we get:

$Q_2=1.0Kg\times 4186J/Kg^oC\times (100-0)^oC$

$Q_2=4.186\times 10^5J$

From this we conclude that, $Q_1$ that means it takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Hence, the it takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to anot

forsale [732]

The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?

a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged

b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged

d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.

Answer: The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Thus when one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.

For example: $NaCl$ is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$
