Based on the energy usage shown by the graph, the best option for the chemical change represented is the combustion of iron.

<h3>What chemical change is shown by the graph?</h3>

The combustion of iron in oxygen leads to the formation of Iron (III) oxide in solid form.

For the combustion of iron to happen, a lot of heat has to be applied to the iron which is why the potential energy of reactants is high. As the reaction progresses, the energy needed reduces as iron (III) oxide is formed.

A 100 gram glass container contains 200 grams of water and 50.0 grams of ice all at 0°c. a 200 gram piece of lead at 100°c is ad

ASHA 777 [7]

$0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$

Explanation:

Assuming that the final (equilibrium) temperature of the system is above the melting point of ice, such that all ice in the container melts in this process thus

$E(\text{fusion}) = m(\text{ice}) \cdot L_{f}(\text{water}) = 66.74 \; \text{kJ}$ and
$m(\text{water, final}) = m(\text{water, initial}) + m(\text{ice, initial}) = 0.250 \; \text{kg}$

Let the final temperature of the system be $t \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ . Thus $\Delta T (\text{water}) = \Delta T (\text{beaker}) = t(\text{initial}) - t_{0} = t \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$

$Q(\text{water}) &= &c(\text{water}) \cdot m(\text{water, final}) \cdot \Delta T (\text{water})= 1.047 \cdot t\; \text{kJ}$ (converted to kilojoules)
$Q(\text{container}) &= &c(\text{glass}) \cdot m(\text{container}) \cdot \Delta T (\text{container})= 0.0837 \cdot t \; \text{kJ}$
$Q(\text{lead}) &= &c(\text{lead}) \cdot m(\text{lead}) \cdot \Delta T (\text{lead})= 0.0255 \cdot (100 - t)\; \text{kJ}$

The fact that energy within this system (assuming proper insulation) conserves allows for the construction of an equation about variable $t$ .

$E(\text{absorbed} ) = E(\text{released})$

$E(\text{absorbed} ) = E(\text{fushion}) + Q(\text{water}) + Q(\text{container})$
$E(\text{released}) = Q(\text{lead})$

Confirm the uniformity of units, equate the two expressions and solve for $t$ :

$66.74 + 1.047 \cdot t + 0.0837 \cdot t = 0.0255 \cdot (80 - t)$

$t \approx -55.95\; \textdegree{\text{C}} < 0\; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ which goes against the initial assumption. Implying that the final temperature does not go above the melting point of water- i.e., $t \le 0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ . However, there's no way for the temperature of the system to go below $0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ ; doing so would require the removal of heat from the system which isn't possible under the given circumstance; the ice-water mixture experiences an addition of heat as the hot block of lead was added to the system.

The temperature of the system therefore remains at $0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ ; the only macroscopic change in this process is expected to be observed as a slight variation in the ratio between the mass of liquid water and that of the ice in this system.

What is the direction of the polarity of the indicated bond in h3c−oh marked by δ+ and δ−?

Sedbober [7]

Answer:- The direction of the polarity of the indicated bond is from carbon to oxygen.

Explanations:- There are two types of covalent compounds, polar and non polar. If the bond is between two same atoms for example, H-H, Cl-Cl etc then the bond is non polar. If the bond is between two different atoms then the bond would be polar. The direction of the polarity is from loss electron negative atom to more electron negative atom.

Oxygen is more electron negative than carbon. So, being more electron negative, the bonding electrons are more towards oxygen and it cases partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on carbon. The direction of the polarity is from less electron negative carbon to more electron negative oxygen.

It is shown in the diagram below:
