g 32.53 g of a solid is heated to 100.oC and added to 50.0 g of water in a coffee cup calorimeter and the contents are allowed t
Radda [10]

Answer:

0.886 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the water

We will use the following expression

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

  • Q: heat
  • c: specific heat capacity
  • m: mass
  • ΔT: change in the temperature

Q(water) = c(water) × m(water) × ΔT(water)

Q(water) = 4.184 J/g.°C × 50.0 g × (34.4 °C - 25.36 °C) = 1.89 × 10³ J

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the energy lost by the solid and the energy absorbed by the water is zero.

Q(water) + Q(solid) = 0

Q(solid) = -Q(water) =  -1.89 × 10³ J

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the solid

We will use the following expression.

Q(solid) = c(solid) × m(solid) × ΔT(solid)

c(solid) = Q(solid) / m(solid) × ΔT(solid)

c(solid) = (-1.89 × 10³ J) / 32.53 g × (34.4 °C - 100. °C) = 0.886 J/g.°C

What is the volume of a piece of aluminum if the mass is 150g and the density.is 2.70 g/cm3
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>55.56 cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}  \\

From the question

mass of aluminum = 150 g

density = 2.7 g/cm³

The volume is

volume =  \frac{150}{2.7}  \\  = 55.5555555...

We have the final answer as

<h3>55.56 cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

When hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen, water and sulfur dioxide are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

2H2S + 3O2 → 2SO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Hydrogen sulfide = H2S

Oxygen = O2

sulfur dioxide = SO2

water = H2O

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

H2S + O2 → SO2 + H2O

Step 3: Balancing the equation

H2S + O2 → SO2 + H2O

On the left side we have 2x O (in O2) and on the right side we have 3x O (2x in SO2 and 1x in H2O). To balance the amount of O, we have to multiply O2 (on the left side) by 3 and SO2 and H2O on the right side by 3.

H2S + 3O2 → 2SO2 + 2H2O

On the right side we have 4x H and on the left side we have 2x H. To balance the amount of H, we have to multiply H2S by 2.

Now the equation is balanced.

2H2S + 3O2 → 2SO2 + 2H2O
