Thermal decomposition of 5.0 metric tons of limestone to lime and carbon dioxide requires 9.0 x 106 kJ of heat. Convert this energy to joules A. 9.0 x 108 J B. 9.0 x 104 J C. 9.0 x 103 J D. 9.0 x 109 J E. None of these is within 5% of the correct answer

Respuesta :

Answer : The correct option is, (D) [tex]9.0\times 10^9J[/tex]

Explanation :

As we are given that the energy require for decomposition is, [tex]9.0\times 10^6kJ[/tex].

Now we have to calculate the energy in joules.

Conversion used :

1 kJ = 1000 J

As, 1 kJ of energy = 1000 J

So, [tex]9.0\times 10^6kJ[/tex] of energy = [tex]\frac{9.0\times 10^6kJ}{1kJ}\times 1000J[/tex]

                                          = [tex]9.0\times 10^9J[/tex]

Therefore, the energy in joules is, [tex]9.0\times 10^9J[/tex]

Thermal decomposition of 5.0 metric tons of limestone to lime and carbon dioxide requires 9.0 × 10⁹ Joules of heat.

What is energy?

Enegy is the quantitative property which is used by any system to perform any work.

Chemical reactions generally involves energy in the form of heat energy and given amount of energy is 9.0 × 10⁶ kJ.

We know that:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, 9.0 × 10⁶ kJ = 9.0 × 10⁶ kJ  × 1000

9.0 × 10⁶ kJ = 9.0 × 10⁹ J

Hence, option (D) is correct i.e. 9.0 × 10⁹ J.
