A 32.2 g iron rod, initially at 21.9 C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.5 C. in an insulated container. The fin

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer : The mass of the water in two significant figures is, $3.0\times 10^1g$

Explanation :

In this case the heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of iron metal = $0.45J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of iron metal = 32.3 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = ?

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = $59.2^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of iron metal = $21.9^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $63.5^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$32.3g\times 0.45J/g^oC\times (59.2-21.9)^oC=-m_2\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (59.2-63.5)^oC$

$m_2=30.16g\approx 3.0\times 10^1g$

Therefore, the mass of the water in two significant figures is, $3.0\times 10^1g$

Warm air _____.

svp [43]

Answer:

cools as it rises, then sinks back down

Explanation:

The movement of air is a convection current. Convection currents occur when warm air rises, cools down, and sinks due to gained density, replacing the warm air closer to the ground, creating a cycle.

Number of

babymother [125]

Answer:

A) 20

B) 40

C) Ca

D) 10

E) 9

F) F

Explanation:

The MASS NUMBER is the number of protons + the number of neutrons.

The ATOMIC NUMBER is the number of protons.

You can take the MASS NUMBER - ATOMIC NUMBER = NUMBER OF NEUTRONS.

Each element is unique and distinguished by the NUMBER OF PROTONS = ATOMIC NUMBER, ie...the number of protons in its nucleus. You can find the element's name and symbol on the Periodic Table.

Ionic or covalent C2H5OH

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Covalent

Explanation:

A molecule of C₂H₅OH has C-C, C-H, C-O, and O-H bonds.

A bond between A and B will be ionic if the difference between their electronegativities (ΔEN) is greater than 1.6.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Bond} & \textbf{$\Delta$EN} & \textbf{Polarity}\\\text{C-C} & 2.55 - 2.55 = 0.00 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-H} & 2.55 - 2.20 = 0.35 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-O} & 3.44 - 2.55 = 0.89 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\text{O-H} & 3.44 - 2.20 = 1.24 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\end{array}$

No bond has a large enough ΔEN to be ionic.

C₂H₅OH is a covalent molecule.

Why is oil unable to dissolve well in water? Water is polar and oil is nonpolar, which means they have no attraction for each ot

Marat540 [252]

Because water is polar and oil is nonpolar, their molecules are not attracted to each other. The molecules of a polar solvent like water are attracted to other polar molecules, such as those of sugar. This explains why sugar has such a high solubility in water. Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride, are also highly soluble in water. Because water molecules are polar, they interact with the sodium and chloride ions. In general, polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. This concept is often expressed as “Like dissolves like.” So many substances dissolve in water that it is sometimes called the universal solvent. Water is considered to be essential for life because it can carry just about anything the body needs to take in or needs to get rid of.
