If 5.0 kJ of energy is added to a 15.5-g sample of water at 10.°C, the water is Group of answer choices

The water is completely vaporized at this stage.

Explanation:

The complete question is

If 5.0 kJ of energy is added to a 15.5-g sample of water at 10.°C, the water is

-boiling

-completely vaporized

-frozen solid

-decomposed

-still a liquid

Energy added = 50 kJ = 50000 J

mass of water = 15.5 g = 0.0155 kg

temperature of water = 10 °C

We know that the energy posses by a mass of water at a given temperature is given as

H = mcT

where H is the energy possessed by the mass of water

m is the mass of the water

c is the specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/ kg- °C

T is the temperature of the water

substituting values, the energy of this amount of water is

H = 0.0155 x 4200 x 10 = 651 J

If 50 kJ is added to the water, the energy increases to

50000 J + 651 J = 50651 J

Temperature of this water at this stage will be gotten from

H = mcT

we solve for the new temperature

50651 = 0.0155 x 4200 x T

50651 = 65.1 x T

T = 50651/65.1 = 778.05 °C

This temperature is well over 100 °C, which is the vaporization temperature of water, but less than 3000 °C for its molecules to decompose.

the answer

explanation:

the capillary tube was too close to the bottom of the beaker.

the ruler may have moved.

water got into the capillary tube.

the temperature was not allowed to equilibrate in the 2-4 minutes.

the law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products. because atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction, there must be the same number of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms in both the reactants and products
