Answer:

Explanation:

Remember that the key is the water so

using the formula q=m*s*deltT

We have the mass 2000g

we have the specific heat of water which is 1.00 cal/ g C

and the final temperature 20 C

Remember that delt T is the change in temperature meaning (Tfinal - Tinitial) Assuming that the water is at room  temperature (25 C)  before starting the reaction then

q= (2000 g)(1.00 cal/g C)(20-25)

q= -10, 000 cal  

if you want you can convert to joules by multiplying by 4.314 J

In more simpler terms - If all the heat released was absorbed by the water, and it takes 1 calorie of heat to raise

the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C that is a total of 20 times 2000 or 40,000 cal.

or 40 kilocalories. If you want it in joules, there are 4.184 joules to one calorie so it is

4.184 times 40 or 167.36 kilojoules.

Hope that helped

11 Which compound has the greatest percent composition by mass of sulfur?(1) BaS (3) MgS
harina [27]
Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.
