A 76.0-gram piece of metal at 96.0 °C is placed in 120.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 24.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

lorimeter is 31.0 °C. Determine the specific heat of the metal. Show your work by listing various steps, and explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to this situation.

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

Why must the ph ammonia buffer solution be stored and dispensed in the fume exhaust hood?
Vadim26 [7]

On the other hand ammonia is a very dangerous chemical which has a pungent smell and effect the eyes of the user. Thus it kept always in the fume exhaust hood for storing and dispensing function.  

The  pH of ammonia buffer contains ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) and a salt of ammonia with a  strong acid like (HCl) which produces, ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) mixture. The evaporation rate of ammonia is so high at room temperature thus on opening of the buffer solution the ammonia get evaporated very fast and the concentration of ammonia decreases which affect the pH of the buffer solution.

Thus the reason to put ammonia buffer in fume hood is explained.

The energies of the bonds broken in a certain reaction are greater than the energies of the bonds formed. Which one of the follo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a. The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):

ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed

If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction

Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).
