The amount of heat lost by the copper is 2402.4 J.

To Calculate the amount of heat lost, we use the formula below.

<h3>Formula:</h3>
  • Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • Q = Amount of heat lost
  • c = specific heat capacity of copper
  • m = mass of copper
  • t₂ = Final temperature
  • t₁ = Initial temperature

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 78 g
  • c = 0.385 J/g°C
  • t₂ = 120°C
  • t₁ = 40°C

Substitute these values into equation 1.

  • Q = 78(0.385)(120-40)
  • Q = 2402.4 J

Hence, The heat lost by the copper is 2402.4 J

What does Hess's law state can be done in order to be able to react solid magnesium with oxygen gas safely (that is, without exp
aleksley [76]

Answer:

C. The reaction can be broken down and performed in steps

Explanation:

Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that irrespective of the number of steps followed in a reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all enthalpy changes corresponding to all the steps in the overall reaction. The implication of this law is that  the change of enthalpy in a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states of the system.

To obtain MgO safely without exposing magnesium to flame, the reaction sequence shown in the image attached may be carried out. Since the enthalpy of the overall reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states of the system, the sum of the enthalpy of each step yields the enthalpy of formation of MgO.

A molecule has sp2 hybridization with 1 lone pair.... The electron pair geometry of this molecule is: ... The geometry of this m
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The electron pair geometry is Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - Bent

Approximate bond angle - <120°

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory enables us to predict the shapes of molecules based on the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom and based on the hybridization state of the central atom.

sp2 hybridization corresponds to trigonal planar geometry. Let us recall that the presence of lone pairs causes a deviation of the molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on the number of electron pairs.

Hence, owing to one lone pair present, the observed molecular geometry is bent.

In a furnace zinc is a gas but lead is a liquid. <br><br> Suggest why?
Tems11 [23]

I believe it is because, Lead has a higher boiling point than zinc. by the time Lead melts and becomes a liquid, the temperature is way higher than the boiling point of Zinc therefore, Zinc becomes a gas.
