The energy needed to destabilize existing chemical bonds and start a chemical reaction is called ____.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>If all chemical reactions that release free energy tend to occur spontaneously,why haven't all such reactions already occurred? One reason is that most reactions require an input of energy to get started.Before it is possible to form new chemical bonds,even bonds that contain less energy,it is first necessary to break the existing bonds,and that takes energy.The extra energy required to destabilize existing chemical bonds and initiate a chemical reaction is called activation energy.</span>

What is the final temperature of the solution formed when 1.52 g of NaOH is added to 35.5 g of water at 20.1 °C in a calorimeter

Inessa [10]

Answer : The final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, $31.0^oC$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat produced.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = -44.5 kJ/mol

q = heat released = ?

m = mass of $NaOH$ = 1.52 g

Molar mass of $NaOH$ = 40 g/mol

$\text{Moles of }NaOH=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaOH}{\text{Molar mass of }NaOH}=\frac{1.52g}{40g/mole}=0.038mole$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$44.5kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.038mol}$

$q=1.691kJ$

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of solution in the calorimeter.

$q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)$

where,

q = heat produced = 1.691 kJ = 1691 J

m = mass of solution = 1.52 + 35.5 = 37.02 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $20.1^oC$

$T_2$ = final temperature = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$1691J=37.02g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_2-20.1)$

$T_2=31.0^oC$

Thus, the final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, $31.0^oC$

An ice cube with a volume of 45.0ml and a density of 0.9000g/cm3 floats in a liquid with a density of 1.36g/ml. what volume of t

Grace [21]

Answer : The volume of the cube submerged in the liquid is, 29.8 mL

Explanation :

First we have to determine the mass of ice.

Formula used :

$\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Density of ice}\times \text{Volume of ice}$

Given:

Density of ice = $0.9000g/cm^3=0.9000g/mL$

Volume of ice = 45.0 mL

$\text{Mass of ice}=0.9000g/mL\times 45.0mL$

$\text{Mass of ice}=40.5g$

The cube will float when 40.5 g of liquid is displaced.

Now we have to determine the volume of the cube is submerged in the liquid.

$\text{Volume of ice}=\frac{\text{Mass of liquid}}{\text{Density of liquid}}$

$\text{Volume of ice}=\frac{40.5g}{1.36g/mL}$

$\text{Volume of ice}=29.8mL$

Thus, the volume of the cube submerged in the liquid is, 29.8 mL
