The specific heat of a substance is heat released or absorbed by one gram for a change in 1 degree celsius
so higher the specific heat, more the heat required to raise the temperature by same extent or more the heat released on decrease in temperature upto same extent (for two substance)
Here the specific heat of sandy clay is 1.4 J/g °C
So it is less than that of wet mud hence sandy clay is needs to release less energy to decrease its temperature
The question is incomplete , complete question is:
Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction:

Note that the average bond energy for the breaking of a bond in CO2 is 799 kJ/mol. Use average bond energies to calculate ΔH of reaction for this reaction.
Answer:
The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.
Explanation:

We are given with:



ΔH = (Energies required to break bonds on reactant side) - (Energies released on formation of bonds on product side)



The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.
Answer:
28.52 L
Explanation:
First, let's calculate the density of the ocean, which is the mass divided by the volume:
d = m/V
d = 35.06/1
d = 35.06 g/L
So, for a mass of 1.00 kg = 1000.00 g
d = m/V
35.06 = 1000.00/V
V = 1000.00/35.06
V = 28.52 L
How all the data are expressed with two significant figures, the volume must also be expressed with two.
Answer:
The 1st and 4th options are correct
I.the oxidized form has a higher affinity for electrons
IV. the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons
Explanation:
Half reaction can be described as the oxidation or reduction reaction in a redox reaction.it is In the redox rection there is a change in the oxidation states of Chemical species involved. the oxidized form in the redox has a higher affinity for electrons and the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons.
Standard reduction potential which is also referred to as standard cell potential can be described as the potential difference that exist between cathode and anode of the cell. In the standard reduction potential most times the species will be reduced which is usually analysed in a reduction half reaction.
(Standard Hydrogen Electrode) is utilized when determining the Standard reduction or potentials of a chemical specie. this is because of Hydrogen having zero reduction and oxidation potentials, as a result of this a measured potential of any species is compared with that of Hydrogen, the difference helps to know the potential reduction of that particular specie.
