Answer: The answer is S = 0.1528 cal/g °C
Explanation:
By the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed.
So, energy lost by metal pieces is equal to the energy gained by water in the calorimeter.
Specific heat of water is 1 cal/g °C
⇒ heat energy Q = mSΔT, where m = mass of a substance
S = specific heat
ΔT = change in temperature
Now, the heat lost by metal piece, Q = 72×S×(96-31)
= 4680×S cal
Heat gained by water, Q = 130×1×(31-25.5)
= 715 cal
⇒ 4680×S = 715.
⇒ S = 0.1528 cal/g °C.
Answer:
X = Water (H2O) ; Y = Hydrogen ; Z = Oxygen
Explanation:
2(H2O) -------> 2H2 + O2
Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.
Explanation:
Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.
Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.
For a given reaction:
Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.
Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.
