In an exothermic reaction, the water will increase in temperature in a calorimeter. An exothermic reaction is a reaction where heat is one of the products or heat is being released from it which will cause for the temperature inside the calorimeter to increase.
Answer:
Atomic mass of E is 128.24
Explanation:
- The percentage composition by mass of an element in a compound is given by dividing the mass of the element by the total mass of the compound and expressing it as a percentage.
- In this case; the compound Bi₂E₃
Percentage composition of bismuth = 52.07%
Percentage composition of E = 47.93%
Mass Bismuth in the compound is (2×208.9804) = 417.96 g
Therefore,
To calculate the atomic mass of E
52.07% = 417.96 g
47.93% = ?
= (47.93 × 417.96 ) ÷ 52.07 %
= 384.729
E₃ = 384.729
Therefore; E = 384.729 ÷ 3
= 128.24
The atomic mass of E is 128.24
