Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of substance by one degree Celsius.  

Mathematically,           Q = mc \Delta t

where      Q = heat

                m = mass of substance

                 c = specific heat

                \Delta t = change in temperature  

Since mass is same for all the given substances. Therefore, more is the specific heat of a substance more frequently it will raise the temperature.

  • Specific heat of copper is 0.385.
  • Specific heat of iron is 0.444.
  • Specific heat of liquid water is 4.184.
  • Specific heat of sand is 0.290.

Thus, we can see that specific heat of liquid water is highest out of the given options.

Hence, we can conclude that liquid water absorb most heat before its temperature changes significantly.

Sulfur and oxygen react to produce sulfur trioxide. In a particular experiment, 7.9 grams of SO3 are produced by the reaction of
shutvik [7]

Answer:

  • <u>79%</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Balanced chemical equation:</u>

  • 2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃

<u>2) Mole ratio:</u>

  • 2 mol S : 3 mol O₂ : 2 mol SO₃

<u>3) Limiting reactant:</u>

  • Number of moles of O₂

        n = 6.0 g / 32.0 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O₂

  • Number of moles of S:

         n = 7.0 g / 32.065 g/mol = 0.2183 mol S

  • Ratios:

        Actual ratio: 0.1875 mol O₂ / 0.2183 mol S =0.859

        Theoretical ratio: 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol S = 1.5

Since there is a smaller proportion of O₂ (0.859) than the theoretical ratio (1.5), O₂ will be used before all S be consumed, and O₂ is the limiting reactant.

<u>4) Calcuate theoretical yield (using the limiting reactant):</u>

  • 0.1875 mol O₂ / x = 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol SO₃

  • x = 0.1875 × 2 / 3 mol SO₃ =  0.125 mol SO₃

<u>5) Yield in grams:</u>

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass = 0.125 mol × 80.06 g/mol =  10.0 g

<u>6) </u><em><u>Percent yield:</u></em>

  • Percent yield, % = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100
  • % = (7.9 g / 10.0 g) × 100 = 79%

Which of the following statements is (are) true about enzyme-catalyzed reactions? a. The reaction is faster than the same reacti
Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Enzyme-catalyzed reaction :

Enzyme act as a biological catalyst and the role of catalyst is to increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.

Most of the chemical reactions are slow in the absence of enzyme but in the presence of enzyme, the reaction become faster. That means the Enzyme accelerate the rate of reaction.

Therefore, the correct answer is the reaction is faster than the same reaction in the absence of the enzyme.

Exactly 17.0 mL of a H2SO4 solution was required to neutralize 45.0 mL of 0.235 M NaOH. What was the concentration of the H2SO4
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Molarity for the sulfuric acid is 0.622 M

Explanation:

When we neutralize an acid with a base, molarity of both . both volume are the same. The formula is:

M acid . volume of acid = M base . volume of base

M acid = unknown

Volume of acid = 17 mL

Volume of base = 45 mL

M base = 0.235 M

Therefore, we replace:  M acid . 17 mL = 0.235 M . 45 mL

M acid = (0.235 M . 45 mL) / 17 mL

M acid = 0.622 M

4.8g of calcium is added to 3.6g of water. The following reaction occurs
notka56 [123]
Q1)
the number of moles can be calculated as follows
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
number of moles is the amount of substance.
4.8 g of Ca was added therefore mass present of Ca is 4.8 g
molar mass of Ca is 40 g/mol 
molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of Ca
therefore if we substitute these values in the equation 
number of moles of Ca = 4.8 g / 40 g/mol = 0.12 mol
0.12 mol of Ca is present 

q2)
next we are asked to calculate the number of moles of water present 
again we can use the same equation to find the number of moles of water
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
3.6 g of water is present 

sum of the products of the molar masses of the individual elements by the number of atoms 
H - 1 g/mol and O - 16 g/mol 
molar mass of water = (1 g/mol x 2 ) + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol 
molar mass of H₂O is 18 g/mol 
therefore number of moles of water  = 3.6 g / 18 g/mol = 0.2 mol 
0.2 mol of water is present
