<h3>
Answer:</h3>
915 Joules
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The heat of fusion is the heat that is required to convert a given mass of a substance from solid state to liquid state without change in temperature.
- In this case, we are given specific heat of a substance as 122 joules per gram
- It means that amount of heat equivalent to 122 joules is required to change 1 gram of the substance from solid state to liquid state.
- Therefore, we can determine the amount of heat needed to change 7.5 grams of the substance from solid to liquid state.
1 g = 122 Joules
7.5 g = ?
= 122 × 7.5
= 915 Joules
Thus, 7.5 g of the substance at its melting point will require 915 Joules of heat to melt.
Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
the law of thermodyanamic is the restatement of the law of conservation of energy
