Interpretation:
The phase change accompanying the molecular art and the process of reaction (exothermic and endothermic) has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Endothermic Reactions:
The endothermic process is a term that describes a reaction where the system absorbs the energy from its surrounding in the form of heat. Few examples of endothermic process is photosynthesis, evaporating liquids, melting ice.
Exothermic reaction:
The exothermic reaction is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. It releases energy by light or heat to its surrounding. Few examples are neutralization, burning a substance, reactions of fuels, deposition of dry ice, respiration.
Condensation reaction:
Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form into liquid water.

- If 14.5 kJ of heat were added to 485 g of liquid water, how much would its temperature increase?arrow_forwardIf 100. J of heat energy is applied to a 25-g sample of mercury, by how many degrees will the temperature of the sample of mercury increase? (See Table 10.1.)arrow_forward9.45 What happens to the temperature of a material as it undergoes an endothermic phase change? If heat is added, how can the temperature behave in this manner?arrow_forward
- How much heat is evolved when 1255 g of water condensesto a liquid at 100°C?arrow_forwardEqual masses of liquid A, initially at 100C, and liquid B, initially at 50C, are combined in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture is 80C. All the heat flow occurs between the two liquids. The two liquids do not react with each other. Is the specific heat of liquid A larger than, equal to, or smaller than the specific heat of liquid B?arrow_forwardGeneral Zod has sold Lex Luthor what Zod claims to be a new copper-colored form of kryptonite, the only substance that can harm Superman. Lex, not believing in honor among thieves, decided to carry out some tests on the supposed kryptonite. From previous tests, Lex knew that kryptonite is a metal having a specific heat capacity of 0.082 J/gC and a density of 9.2 g/cm3. Lex Luthers first experiment was an attempt to find the specific heat capacity of kryptonite. He dropped a 10 g 3 g sample of the metal into a boiling water bath at a temperature of 100.0C 0.2C. He waited until the metal had reached the bath temperature and then quickly transferred it to I 00 g 3 g of water that was contained in a calorimeter at an initial temperature of 25.0C 0.2C. The final temperature of the metal and water was 25.2C. Based on these results, is it possible to distinguish between copper and kryptonite? Explain. When Lex found that his results from the first experiment were inconclusive, he decided to determine the density of the sample. He managed to steal a better balance and determined the mass of another portion of the purported kryptonite to be 4 g 1 g. He dropped this sample into water contained in a 25-mL graduated cylinder and found that it displaced a volume of 0.42 mL 0.02 mL. Is the metal copper or kryptonite? Explain. Lex was finally forced to determine the crystal structure of the metal General Zod had given him. He found that the cubic unit cell contained four atoms and had an edge length of 600. pm. Explain how this information enabled Lex to identify the metal as copper or kryptonite. Will Lex be going after Superman with the kryptonite or seeking revenge on General Zod? What improvements could he have made in his experimental techniques to avoid performing the crystal structure determination?arrow_forward
