The amount of energy released when 0.06 kg of mercury condenses at the same temperature can be calculated using its latent heat of fusion which is the opposite of melting. Latent heat of fusion and melting can be used because they have the same magnitude, but opposite signs. Latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state or phase of a substance. For latent heat, there is no temperature change. The equation is:
E = m(ΔH)
where:
m = mass of substance
ΔH = latent heat of fusion or melting
According to data, the ΔH of mercury is approximately 11.6 kJ/kg.
E = 0.06kg (11.6 kJ/kg) = 0.696 kJ or 696 J
The answer is D. 697.08 J. Note that small differences could be due to rounding off or different data sources.
Answer:
Silver Nitrate is very soluble in water.
B. The Secondary side of the step down transformer.
Answer:
The nuclear decay of radioactive elements is a process that is a useful tool for determining the absolute age of fossils and rocks. It is used as a clock, in which daughter elements or isotopes converted from parent isotopes by decaying at a particular time.
Radioactive decay rates are constant and do not change over time. It is measured in half-life. A half-life is a time it takes half of a parent isotope to decay and converted into a stable daughter isotope. How many parent isotopes and daughter isotopes present in the fossil or their abundance can help in determining the age of fossil or rock.
Reactivity is a chemical
property of a substance. According to EPA regulations, it is normally unstable
and readily
undergoes violent change without
detonating. it can explode or violently react when exposed to water, when
heated, or under STP.
