The specific heat capacity of the metal given the data from the question is 0.66 J/gºC

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Mass of metal (M) = 76 g
  • Temperature of metal (T) = 96 °C
  • Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 120 g
  • Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 24.5 °C
  • Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 31 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
  • Specific heat capacity of metal (C) =?

<h3>How to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

The specific heat capacity of the sample of the metal can be obtained as follow:

Heat loss = Heat gain

MC(M –Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)

76 × C × (96 – 31) = 120 × 4.184 × (31 – 24.5)

C × 4940 = 3263.52

Divide both side by 4940

C = 3263.52 / 4940

C = 0.66 J/gºC

The Ka for acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is 1.80 x 10-5 . Determine the pH of a 0.0500mol/L acetic acid solution.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

pH = 3.02

Explanation:

Acetic Acid is a weak acid (HOAc) that ionizes only ~1.5% as follows:

HOAc ⇄ H⁺ + OAc⁻.

In pure water the hydronium ion concentration [H⁺] equals the acetate ion concentration [OAc⁻] and can be determined* using the formula [H⁺] = [OAc⁻] = SqrRt(Ka·[acid]) = SqrRt(1.8x10⁻⁵ x 0.0500)M = 9.5x10⁻⁴M.

By definition, pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(9.5x10⁻⁴) = 3.02

______________________________________________________

*This formula can be used to determine the [H⁺] & [Anion⁻] concentrations for any weak acid in pure water given its Ka-value and the molar concentration of acid in solution.

How many moles of KCIO3 are in 5 g of KClO3?
STatiana [176]

Molar mass of KClO3

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 39+35+3(16)

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 74+48

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 122g/mol

Now

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{5}{122}

\\ \tt\hookrightarrow No\:of\:moles=0.04mol

In the reaction,
jonny [76]

Answer:

In the reaction, Fe2+ is oxidized and MnO4- is reduced (option c.)

Explanation:

MnO₄⁻   +  5Fe²⁺  + 8H⁺ ---> Mn²⁺  +  5Fe³⁺  +  4H2O

Look all, the oxidation number.

Increase the oxidation number means, oxidation.

Decrease the oxidation number means, reduction.

Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ is increasing, the ox. number. Fe is oxidizing.

In MnO₄⁻, the Mn acts with +7, so in Mn²⁺ has decrease the ox. number.

Mn has reducted.
