Given mass of Scandium = 50.0 g
Increase in temperature of the metal when heated =
Heat absorbed by Scandium =
The equation showing the relationship between heat, mass, specific heat and temperature change:
Where Q is heat =
m is mass = 50.0 g
ΔT =
On plugging in the values and solving for C(specific heat) we get,
=50.0g(C)(
)
C = 0.491
Specific heat of the metal = 0.491
Rust (Fe2O3. 4H2O) is formed when iron interacts slowly with oxygen and water. Mass of Fe in grams is 2.18 x 10⁴ g.
<h3>What is the explanation?</h3>There are 2 moles of Fe atoms in 1 mole of Fe2O3-4H2O. The number of moles of Fe atoms in 45.2 kg rust is shown below.
Moles of Fe = 195.01 mol Fe₂O₃.4H₂O ( )
Moles of Fe = 390.02 mol Fe
Multiply the calculated number of moles of iron, Fe, by its molar mass which is 55.85
Mass of Fe = 390.02 mol Fe ( )
Mass of Fe = 2.18 x 10⁴ g Fe
Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023) of molecules (or formula units) make up one mole of a substance (ionic compound). The mass of 1 mole of a chemical is indicated by its molar mass. It provides you with the amount of grams per mole of a substance, to put it another way.
