its a metal reacted rapidly with water to form a colorless basic solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic.
Since, it is a compression process therefore, work will be done on the system. And, work done will be equal to the heat energy liberating without any friction.
W =
=
= 5 MJ
Thus, we can conclude that a minimum of 5 MJ work is required without any friction.
Given the data from the question, the identity of the unknownmetal having a of mass 133 g is Cobalt
<h3>What is density? </h3>
The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as
Density = mass / volume
<h3>How to determine the density </h3>
Mass = 133 g
Volume of water = 25 mL
Volume of water + metal = 40 mL
Vol of metal = 40 – 25 = 15 mL
Density =?
Density = mass / volume
Density = 133 / 15
Density = 8.86 g/mL
Comparing the density of the unknown metal (i.e 8.86 g/mL) with those given in the chart in the question above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is Cobalt
