When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. Why is this considered a physical change?

This is considered a physical change because the water does not change its chemical properties - it is still water. It is simply just moving its shape such as gas form, liquid form, or solid form.

Because you can physically see the object melting when it comes to the melting point. The objects texture, color, temperature, shape, and state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are possibly changing. Especially the bolded changes are happening.

For example, in your question, your talking about ice. It changes its shape, state of matter, temperature, and texture.

Answer:

0.71 J/g°C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

thermometer A 51.9 g sample of quartz is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 300.0 g of water. The quartz sample starts off at 97.8 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 17.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 19.3 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. insulated container water sample Calculate the specific heat capacity of quartz according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits. a calorimeter g °C

Solution

Since the temperature of the water increases from 17.0 °C to 19.3 °C, it means that it loses heat. Also, the final temperature of the quartz equals the final temperature of the water 19.3 °C. Since the quartz temperature decreases from 97.8 °C to 19.3 °C it loses heat.

So, heat lost by quartz, Q = heat gained by water, Q'

-Q = Q'

-mc(θ₂ - θ₁) = m'c'(θ₂ - θ₃) where m = mass of quartz = 51.9 g, c = specific heat capacity of quartz, θ₁ = initial temperature of quartz = 97.8 °C, θ₂ = final temperature of quartz = 19.3 °C, m' = mass of water = 300 g, c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g °C , θ₃ = initial temperature of water = 17.0 °C, θ₂ = final temperature of water = 19.3 °C

Making c subject of the formula, we have

c = -m'c'(θ₂ - θ₃)/m(θ₂ - θ₁)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

c = -300 g × 4.2 J/g °C(19.3 °C - 17.0 °C)/51.9 g(19.3 °C - 97.8 °C)

c = -1260 J/°C(2.3 °C)/51.9 g(-78.5 °C)

c = -2898 J/-4074.15 g°C

c = 0.711 J/g°C

c ≅ 0.71 J/g°C to 2 significant digits

According to the Brinsted -Lowry. what is an acid ? what is a base ?

sasho [114]

Answer:

According to the Brønsted definition, an acid is a substance capable of donating a proton, and a base is a substance capable of accepting a proton. ... The species giving up the proton is HCl, an acid. The species accepting the proton is water, the base. The species Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Moles
Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Organic

Naming carbons

Stoichiometry

Analyzing reaction rxn
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given] 130 g CH₄

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[RxN] 1 mol CH₄ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of C: 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H: 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of CH₄: 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 130 \ g \ CH_4(\frac{1 \ mol \ CH_4}{16.05 \ g \ CH_4})(\frac{2 \ mol \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ CH_4})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 9.75526 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2O$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

9.75526 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂O ≈ 9.8 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂O
