Describe what happens when two substances at different temperatures cine into contact. Describe how the law of conservation of energy applies to this system

The substance with the highest heat gives heat to the lowest temperature, equating both temperatures,

In this situation there is talk of giving up heat but not matter, it is here that the law of conservation of energy comes into play.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy talks about that energy is transformed and never lost between two substances or two bodies that interact with each other, these interactions can be heat exchanges, as in this example.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
