A 85.2 g copper bar was heated to 221.32 degrees Celsius and placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 4250 mL of water at 2
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g°C

Explanation:

A 85.2 g copper bar was heated to 221.32 degrees Celsius and placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 425 mL of water at 22.55 degrees Celsius. The final temperature of the water was recorded to be 26.15 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the copper?

Step 1: Data given

Mass of copper = 85.2 grams

Temperature of copper = 221.32 °C

Volume of water = 425 mL

Temperature of water = 22.55 °C

Final temperature = 26.15 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculat the specific heat of copper

Heat lost = heat gained

Q = m*c*ΔT

Qcopper = -Qwater

m(copper)*c(copper)*ΔT(copper) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ m(copper) = 85.2 grams

⇒ c(copper) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(copper) = the change in temeprature = T2 -T1 = 26.15 -221.32 = -195.17 °C

⇒ m(water) = The mass of water = 425 mL * 1g/mL = 425 grams

⇒ c(water) = The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature of water = 26.15 - 22.55 = 3.6

85.2 * c(copper) * (-195.17) = -425 * 4.184 * 3.6

c(copper) = 0.385 J/g°C

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g°C

(Note, The original question says the volume of the water is 4250 mL. IF this is not an error, the specific heat of copper is 3.85 J/g°C (10x higher than the normal value).

What is the chemical symbol of an element
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

A chemical symbol is a shorthand method of representing an element. Instead of writing out the name of an element, we represent an element name with one or two letters. As you know, the periodic table is a chemist's easy reference guide. ... Each element is represented by a chemical symbol consisting of letters

The solubility of a certain compound in ice-cold water is 0.16 g in 100 mL. Its solubility in hot water is 4.35 g in 100 mL. Wha
jonny [76]

Answer:

96.32 %

Explanation:

Given that:

The solubility of compound in hot water = 4.35 g / 100 mL

The solubility of compound in cold water = 0.16 g / 100 mL

Which means that in 100 mL of hot water, the dissolved compound is 4.35 g and in cold water, the dissolved compound is 0.16 g

Hence, on transition, compound that will catalyze is 4.35 - 0.16 g = 4.19 g

So,

\%=\frac {4.19}{4.35}\times 100

Percent recovery for re-crystallization of this compound from water= 96.32 %
