The initial temperature of the copper piece if a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C is 345.5°C

<h3>How to calculate temperature?</h3>

The initial temperature of the copper metal can be calculated using the following formula on calorimetry:

Q = mc∆T

mc∆T (water) = - mc∆T (metal)

Where;

  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity
  • ∆T = change in temperature

According to this question, a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C. If the final temperature of water is 42.0 °C, the initial temperature of the copper is as follows:

400 × 4.18 × (42°C - 24°C) = 240 × 0.39 × (T - 24°C)

30,096 = 93.6T - 2246.4

93.6T = 32342.4

T = 345.5°C

Therefore, the initial temperature of the copper piece if a 240.0 gram piece of copper is dropped into 400.0 grams of water at 24.0 °C is 345.5°C.

Why can't liquids change volume but gasses can?
kupik [55]
Because liquids cant be condensed the way that gasses can for example in a tank of argon you can put 20 cubic feet because it can be be condensed but you could not fit 20 cubic feet of water because it can not be packed together .

One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid-liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution.
Dafna1 [17]

The answer is D: Saturated.

A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved.  So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution.  In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.

The other two terms are a bit more complicated.  A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit.  Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate.  Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.

A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute.  However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated.  Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.

Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.
