180.189 g was the mass of the zinc sample with a specific heat of zinc is 0.390 j/g°C.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K (or 1 °C), and its units are J/(kg K) or J/(kg °C).

Using specific heat capacity formula here:

C_{Zn} × m_{Zn}×  ΔT_{Zn} = C_{H_2O}× m_{H_2O} ×  ΔT_{H_2O}

0.390J/g°C × m_{Zn} ×77.4ºC = 4.184J/g°C×  65.0g ×  20.00ºC.

m_{Zn} = 180.189 g

Hence, 180.189 g was the mass of the zinc sample.

How do I solve this problem?
JulijaS [17]
First question. Applying ideal gas equation PV=nRT, P= 101.3 x 10³Pa = 1atm. therefore, 1 x 260 x 10^-3 = n x 0.082 x 294.( Temperature in kelvin=273+21). n = 0.01 moles. Volume of gas at STP= n x 22.4 = 0.01x22.4 = 0.224L. Hope this helps

Describe an experiment to show that water contains hydrogen and oxygen only​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Electrolysis

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water is one such experiment that shows that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms only in the ratio of 2 to 1.

In the electrolysis of water, electricity is passed through acidified water to cause it to decompose.

The electrolysis of water is also known as the electrolysis of dilute tetraoxosulphate  (VI) acid.

At the cathode, H⁺ ions are discharged and hydrogen gas is liberated:

               2H⁺       +     2e⁻     →        H₂

At the anode, both the sulfate ion and hydroxyl ions migrate to this electrode. Only the OH⁻ is selected for preferential discharge due to its lower position in that activity series.

         4OH⁻  →   2H₂O    +    O₂     +     4e⁻

Oxygen gas is produced at the anode.

This electrolysis demonstrates the volumetric composition of water that is, 2 volumes of hydrogen at the cathode and 1 volume of oxygen at the anode.

Define the law conservation of mass​
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so the quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
