Energy(heat) required to raise the temperature of water : 418.6 J
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Heat can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g*C.
∆T(raise the temperature) : 10° C
mass = 10 g
Heat required :
We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.
Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.
Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams
The correct options are as follows:
1. In the chemical equation given above, Fe3+ IS REDUCED.
A reduction is a process in which an atom of an element gains an electron and therefore become reduced. In this type of reaction, the positive character of the atom is reduced. Looking at the equation given above, you will notice that, the positive character of Iron is reduced form +3 to +2.
2. In the reaction given above, the chlorine atom is OXIDIZED.
An oxidation is a process in which an atom loses an electron, thereby increasing its oxidation number. In this case, the positive character of the atom is increased. Looking at the chlorine atom given above, you will notice that it has a charge of -1 before and now it has change to neutral, which means that, it has given out the electron it gains earlier.
3. This type of redox reaction can not take place. This is because, in chemical reaction, the chlorine atom is always looking for another element that will donate an electron to it in order to become stable. Thus, chlorine atom easily gain electrons but it can not donate an electron to another element.<span />
