How many calories are absorbed by a sample water with a mass of 500 grams as it changes from 50 degrees C to 65 degrees C?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

H = mCpT

H = (500 grams water)( 4.18 J/ g - degrees C) (65 - 50)

H =31,350 J

since 1 cal = 4184 joules

31,350 Joules (1 calorie/ 4184 joules) = 7.49 calories

Write an equation that shows the formation of a selenide ion from a neutral selenium atom

Answers

Answer:

Se + 2e- => Se-2

Explanation:

Ions are electrically charged particles, formed due to the gain or loss of electrons by an atom.

There are two types of ions cations and anions. An element that loses their electrons and forms positive ions are cations while metals and element that gains one or more electrons and forms negative ions are anions.

Selenium is an atom with atomic number 34 and represented as Se. The electronic configuration of Se is  1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p4. Selenium will gain 2 more electrons to complete it p orbital and form an ion Se-2.

The equation is as below:

Se + 2e- => Se-2

David kept 100 grams of radioactive sodium in a container. He observed the amount of sodium left in the container after regular intervals of time and recorded them in the table shown below.Time (hours) Amount of sodium in container (in grams)
0 100
15 50
30 25
45 12.5

Based on the observations, which of these is most likely David's inference?
A.The half life period of radioactive sodium is 15 hours.
B.The half life period of radioactive sodium is 50 hours.
C.The amount of sodium left in the container after 60 hours will be 10.5 grams.
D.The amount of sodium left in the container after 60 hours will be 1.5 grams.

Answers

First we have to understand what a half life is. A half life is a measure of time when the amount of a certain object is 50% of the original amount. Hence the answer for this is letter A. The initial amount is 100. fifty percent of 100 is 50 and that happens after 15 hours. Hence, 15 hours is the half life period. 

Answer: A. The half life period of radioactive sodium is 15 hours.

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a reactant to reduce to its original concentration. It is designated by the symbol t_(1)/(2).

Given:

At 0 hours the amount of sodium in container is 100 grams

After 15 hours , the amount of sodium in container is 50 grams which is half of the original amount of 100 grams.

It will take 15 hours for half of a 100 g sample to decay to half of the amount i.e. 50 grams.

Write a balanced nuclear reaction for the following:234/91 Pa → 4/2 He+

When balancing the nuclear reaction, explain the following:
How does the Law of Conservation of Matter dictate what the daughter nuclide is?
How do we calculate the atomic mass and atomic number for the daughter nuclide?
Where do we look up what the new daughter nuclide element is?

Answers

Balanced nuclear reaction: 234/91 Pa → 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac.
1) number of protons and neutrons on both side of nuclear reaction must be the same. There are 91 protons (atomic number) and 143 neutrons (mass number - atomic number, 234 - 91 = 143 or (4-2) + (230 - 89) = 143)) on both side of reaction.
2) a
lphadecay is radioactive decay in whichan atomic nucleus emitsan alpha particle (heliumnucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomicnumber that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four, so atomic mass of new element is 89 (91 - 2) and mass number is 230 (234 - 4 = 230).
3) look at atomic number, element with atomic number 89 is actinium.

Final answer:

The balanced nuclear reaction is 234/91 Pa -> 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac. You calculate the atomic mass and atomic number of the daughter nuclide by subtracting the atomic mass and atomic number of the alpha particle from the parent nuclide. Then, refer to the periodic table to identify the element with the corresponding atomic number.

Explanation:

The process described in the question is a typical alpha decay nuclear process. In this reaction, a Protactinium-234 nuclide emits an alpha particle (which is a Helium nucleus) to produce a new nuclide, the daughter nuclide.

According to the Law of Conservation of Matter, the sum of the mass and atomic numbers (protons + neutrons) of the reactants must equal the sum of the mass and atomic numbers of the products. This means we can calculate the atomic number and atomic mass of the daughter nuclide. The atomic mass would be the difference: 234 - 4 = 230. The atomic number would be the difference: 91 - 2 = 89.

After that, you can identify the new element by its atomic number, 89, from a periodic table, which shows it to be Actinium (89/230 Ac).

So, the balanced nuclear reaction is: 234/91 Pa -> 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac

The combustion of 1 mole of CO according to the reaction CO(g) + ½O2(g) → CO2(g) + 67.6 kcal gives off how much heat?-67.6 kcal
-1,514 kcal
-33.3 kcal
-135.2 kcal
-none of the above

Answers

Combustion usually occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Combustion reactions are almost always exothermic CO(g) + ½O2(g) → CO2(g) + 67.6 kcal 
base from the reaction, the stoichiometric ratio is 1 mole CO produce 67.6 kcal so the anwer is - 67.6 kcal because is it exothermic

I got 67.6 kcal not -67.6

Which of the following is an exothermic reaction?A.) dissolving sugar in water

B.) melting ice

C.) condensing steam

D.) dissolving ammonium nitrate in water

Answers

Answer:

C.) condensing steam

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are chemical reaction which energy is released to the environment in the form of heat . The overall energy of the reactant is greater than the energy of the product. The higher in energy of the reactant causes a release of heat to the environment. In exothermic reactions, enthalpy change is  usually negative and is accompanied by the loss of energy in the form of heat or light.

Condensation is the change of water vapor to liquid . The conversion is an exothermic reaction as energy is release to the environment in the form of heat.  The water vapor molecules has higher energy than liquid. The changes of water vapor to liquid causes a loss in energy of the water vapor. As the water vapor loss more energy, heat is been release to the surrounding.

All other reaction are endothermic in which heat is absorb from the environment except for condensation of steam.

The event that is an example of an exothermic reaction is condensing steam. The answer is letter C. An exothermic reaction is one in which there is a release of heat during the reaction. Dissolving sugar in water, melting ice and dissolving ammonium nitrate in water are all examples of an endothermic reaction.
