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

Explain why the solutions of SbCl3(aq) in our lab also contain HCl. Why would adding a few drops of this solution to 300 mL of w
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

SbCl₃ reacts with water to form slightly soluble antimony oxychloride.

SbCl₃(aq) +H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ SbOCl(s) + 2HCl(aq)

Your observation is an example of Le Châtelier's Principle in action,

The SbCl₃(aq) in your lab has enough HCl added to push the position of equilibrium to the left and keep the SbOCl in solution.

If a few drops of the SbCl₃(aq) were added to 300 mL of water, the solution would turn cloudy. The HCl would be so dilute that the position of equilibrium would lie to the right, and a cloudy precipitate of antimony oxychloride would form.

Give the number of significant figures in this number: 7.8 x 10¹²
denis-greek [22]
The number is written in scientific notation.


The significant figures are the numbers known precisely plus 1 digit that is uncertain.


When the numbers are expressed in scientific notation all the digits before  10^n are significant.


So, 7 and 8 are significant figures and the answer is that the number of significant figures is 2.

In a labratory activity the density of a sample of vanadium is determined to be 6.9g/cm^3 at room temperature. what is the perce
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

c : 13%

Explanation:

Data Give:

Experimental density of vanadium = 6.9 g/cm³

percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula used to calculate % error

  % error = [experimental value -accepted value/accepted value] x 100

The reported accepted density value for vanadium = 6.11 g/cm³

Put value in the above equation

                  % error = [ 6.9 - 6.11 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.79 / 6.11 ] x 100

                  % error = [ 0.129] x 100

                  % error = 12.9

Round to the 2 significant figure

% error = 13 %

So, option c is correct
