Answer:
a) m = 993 g
b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
Explanation:
atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794
4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176
we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602
difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158
fraction of mass lost = = 0.00723
loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23
a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)
b) energy released in the process
E = m c²
E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²
E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
The unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately .
Explanation:
When heat energy is supplied to a certain substance, the temperature of the substance increases according to the equation:
where
Q is the amount of energy supplied
m is the mass of the sample
is the specific heat capacity of the substance
is the change in temperature
In this problem, we have
m = 4.9 g is the mass
Q = 668.85 J is the specific heat capacity
is the change in temperature
Solving for , we find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
Looking at tables of specific heat capacity, we can see that the unknown substance can be lithium, which has a specific heat capacity of approximately .
