Based on the principle of conservation of energy, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is calculated using the formula:

c = {m2 × w × (t2 - t1) - m2 × w × (t2 -t1)}/m3 × (t2 -t1)

<h3>What is a calorimeter?</h3>

A calorimeter is an equipment used to determine heat of reaction.

The calorimeter works on the principle of conservation of energy:

heat gained = heat lost

Quantity of heat energy is calculated using the formula below:

q = mass × heat capacity × temperature difference

In the experiment, the following procedure is followed:

Mass of the hot water, cold water and calorimeter are recorded
temperature of the hot water is recorded
temperature of the the cold water and calorimeter is recorded
final temperature of the mixture is recorded
heat capacity of the calorimeter is calculated using the formula: heat gained by calorimeter and cold water = heat lost by hot water.

Assuming that;

mass of hot water = m1
mass of cold water =m2
mass of calorimeter = m3
initial temperature cold water and calorimeter = t1
final temperature of mixture = t2
heat capacity of water = w
heat capacity of calorimeter = c

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is calculated using the formula:

c = {m2 × w × (t2 - t1) - m2 × w × (t2 -t1)}/m3 × (t2 -t1)

Margarita [4]

Answer:

λ = 0.0167 m = 16.7 mm

Explanation:

The wavelength of these radio waves can be found out by using the formula for the speed of radio waves:

v = fλ

where,

v = speed of radio waves = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of radio waves = 18 GHz = 18 x 10⁹ Hz

λ = Wavelength = ?

Therefore,

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (18 x 10⁹ Hz)λ

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(18 x 10⁹ Hz)

λ = 0.0167 m = 16.7 mm

Can sedimentation and decantation be used for all types of mixtures? Explain

Bumek [7]

Explanation:

1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.

Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.

In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.

For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.

2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.

The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.

In an ion with an unknown charge, the total mass of all the electrons was determined to be 2.19 ✕ 10−26 g, while the total mass

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{Fe$^{{2+}}$}}$

Explanation:

1. Number of electrons

$\text{Number of electrons} = 2.19 \times 10^{-26}\text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 electron}}{9.109 \times 10^{-28}\text{ g}} = \text{24 electrons}$

2. Number of protons

$\text{Number of protons} = 4.34 \times 10^{-23}\text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 proton}}{1.673 \times 10^{-24}\text{ g}} = \text{26 protons}$

3. Identify the ion

An atom with 26 protons is iron, Fe.

A neutral atom of iron would have 26 electrons.

The ion has only 24 electrons, so it has lost two. The ion must have a charge of +2.

$\text{The symbol for the ion is $\large \boxed{\textbf{Fe$^{\mathbf{2+}}$}}$}$

"Compounds A and B react to give a single product, C. Write the rate law for each of the following cases and determine the units

olasank [31]

Answer:

Part a: Units of k is $M^{-2}s^{-1}$ where reaction is first order in A and second order in B

Part b: Units of k is $M^{-1}s^{-1}$ where reaction is first order in A and second order overall.

Part c: Units of k is $M^{-1}s^{-1}$ where reaction is independent of the concentration of A and second order overall.

Part d: Units of k is $M^{-3}s^{-1}$ where reaction reaction is second order in both A and B.

Explanation:

As the reaction is given as

$A+B \rightarrow C$

where as the rate is given as

$r=k[A]^x[B]^y$

where x is the order wrt A and y is the order wrt B.

Part a:

x=1 and y=2 now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^2$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^2\\M/s =k[M]^1[M]^2\\M/s =k[M]^{1+2}\\M/s =k[M]^{3}\\M^{1-3}/s =k\\M^{-2}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-2}s^{-1}$

Part b:

x=1 and o=2

x+y=o

1+y=2

y=2-1

y=1

Now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^1$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[A]^1[B]^1\\M/s =k[M]^1[M]^1\\M/s =k[M]^{1+1}\\M/s =k[M]^{2}\\M^{1-2}/s =k\\M^{-1}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Part c:

x=0 and o=2

x+y=o

0+y=2

y=2

Now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^0[B]^2$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[B]^2\\M/s =k[M]^2\\M/s =k[M]^{2}\\M^{1-2}/s =k\\M^{-1}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Part d:

x=2 and y=2

Now the reaction rate equation is given as

$r=k[A]^2[B]^2$

Now the units are given as

$r=k[A]^2[B]^2\\M/s =k[M]^2[M]^2\\M/s =k[M]^{2+2}\\M/s =k[M]^{4}\\M^{1-4}/s =k\\M^{-3}s^{-1} =k$

The units of k is $M^{-3}s^{-1}$
