The final temperature of the copper and water in the calorimeter given the data is 30.3 °C

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

Specific heat capacity of copper (C꜀) = 0.385 J/gºC
Mass of copper (M꜀) = 95 g
Temperature of copper (T꜀) = 77.9 °C
Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 42 mL = 1 × 42 = 42 g
Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 20.4 °C
Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) =?

<h3>How to determine the equilibrium temperature </h3>

Heat loss = Heat gain

MᵥᵥC(Tᵥᵥ – Tₑ) = M꜀C(Tₑ – M꜀)

95 × 0.385 (77.9 – Tₑ) = 42 × 4.184(Tₑ – 20.4)

36.575(77.9 – Tₑ) = 175.728(Tₑ – 20.4)

Clear bracket

2849.1925 – 36.575Tₑ = 175.728Tₑ – 3584.8512

Collect like terms

2849.1925 + 3584.8512 = 175.728Tₑ + 36.575Tₑ

6434.0437 = 212.303Tₑ

Divide both side by 212.303

Tₑ = 6434.0437 / 212.303

Tₑ = 30.3 °C

What are downbursts?

katovenus [111]

Downbursts are damaging winds<span> localized in an area which are caused by air that flows downward rapidly out from a thunderstorm. They can cause severe damage to infrastructures and can cause casualties when not prepared. This becomes worse as these types penetrate in areas near the ground. </span>

belka [17]

Answer:

2Al2O3 (l) ---> 4Al (l) + 3O2 (g)

Explanation:

The reaction is the electrolysis of aluminium oxide. It decomposes aluminium oxide (Al2O3) into aluminium metal (Al) and Oxygen (O2). In this process, aluminium oxide is molten (liquid state) so that ions can move to complete the electricity circuit.

Al2O3 (l) ---> Al (l) + O2 (g)

Balance the equation:

2Al2O3 (l) ---> 4Al (l) + 3O2 (g)
