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.

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?
kherson [118]
The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound.  So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped

The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens to the pressure of
lianna [129]

Answer:

DECREASE BY A FACTOR OF FOUR

Explanation:

Using pressure equation:

P 1 / T1 = P2 /T2     (at constant volume)

P1 = P

T1 =T

P2 = ?

T2 = 4 T

So therefore;

P2 = P1T1/ T2

P2 = P T/ 4 T

P2 = 1/4 P

The pressure is decreased by a factor of four, the new pressure is a quarter of the formal pressure of the gas.
