There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change.
A sample of solid silver oxide with a mass of 11.4 grams was reduced to elemental silver by heating under a flow of methane gas, CH4. The reaction produced 10.6 grams of silver.
Write a balanced chemical reaction for the reaction between silver oxide and methane gas. The only products formed in the reaction are solid silver metal, carbon dioxide gas, and water vapor. Include the phases of each reactant and product.

The temperature of the metal block goes down, and the temperature of the water goes up until their temperatures are the same. A total of 1500 J of energy' is lost by the metal object. By how much did the energy of the water increase? What law of science is illustrated by this problem?arrow_forwardfriend of yours reads that the process of water freezing is exothermic. This friend tells you that this can’t be true because exothermic implies “hot,” and ice is cold. Is the process of water freezing exothermic?

- 1-86 The specific heats of some elements at 25oC are as follows: aluminum = 0.215 cal/g · oC; carbon (graphite) = 0.170 caI/g oC; iron = 0.107 cal/g mercury = 0.033 1 caI/g oC. (a) Which element would require the smallest amount of heat to raise the temperature of 100 g of the element by 10oC? (b) If the same amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of aluminum by 25oC were applied to 1 g of mercury, by how many degrees would its temperature be raised?

- A particulate-level illustration of the reaction AB+CDAD+CB is shown below. a Identify the reactants and products in this reaction. b Is the change shown chemical or physical? c Is the mass of the product particles less than, equal to, or greater than the mass of the reactant particles? d If the reaction takes place in a container that allows no energy to enter or leave, how does the total energy in the container after the reaction compare with the total energy in the container before the reaction?arrow_forwardDuring a recent winter month in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it was necessary to obtain 3500 kWh of heat provided by a natural gas furnace with 89% efficiency to keep a small house warm (the efficiency of a gas furnace is the percent of the heat produced by combustion that is transferred into the house). (a) Assume that natural gas is pure methane and determine the volume of natural gas in cubic feet that was required to heat the house. The average temperature of the natural gas was 56 F; at this temperature and a pressure of 1 atm, natural gas has a density of 0.68 1 g/L. (b) How many gallons of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) would be required to replace the natural gas used? Assume the LPG is liquid propane [ C3H8 : density, 0.5318 g/mL; enthalpy of combustion, 2219 Id/mo for the formation of CO2(g) and H2O(l) ] and the furnace used to burn the LPG has the same efficiency as the gas furnace. (c) What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (d) What mass of water is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (e) What volume of air is required to provide the oxygen for the combustion of the methane used to heat the house? Air contains 23% oxygen by mass. The average density of air during the month was 1.22 g/L. (f) How many kilowatt—hours ( 1kWh=3.6106 J) of electricity would be required to provide the heat necessary to heat the house? Note electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house. (g) Although electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house, production and distribution of electricity is not 100% efficient. The efficiency of production and distribution of electricity produced in a coal-fired power plant is about 40%. A certain type of coal provides 2.26 kWh per pound upon combustion. What mass of this coal in kilograms will be required to produce the electrical energy necessary to heat the house if the efficiency of generation and distribution is 40%?arrow_forwardWhich statement about temperature is TRUE? A small block of aluminum sitting in a beaker of boiling water for several hours will have a different temperature than the boiling water. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. Temperature moves from colder objects to hotter objects. A cup of boiling water and a bucket of boiling water will have different temperatures because they have different volumes.arrow_forward
