Specific heat is the amount of heat absorb or released by a substance to change the temperature to one degree Celsius. To determine the specific heat, we use the expression for the heat absorbed by the system. Heat gained or absorbed in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:

Heat = mC(T2-T1)

By substituting the given values, we can calculate for C which is the specific heat of the material.

2510 J = .158 kg ( 1000 g / 1 kg) (C) ( 61.0 - 32.0 °C)
C = 0.5478 J / g °C

Study this chemical reaction: (aq)(s)(s)(aq) Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that hap
disa [49]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction ;

Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)

Which correctly describes the relationship between genes and chromosomes?​
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.

Explanation:

Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

The mineral enargite is 48.41% cu, 19.02% as, and 32.57% s by mass. what is the empirical formula of enargite?
LuckyWell [14K]
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound. 
Assuming for 100 g of the compound 
                                Cu                                 As                             S
mass                      48.41 g                          19.02 g                      32.57 g
number of moles    48.41 / 63.5 g/mol      19.02 / 75 g/mol        32.57 / 32 g/mol 
                                = 0.762 mol                = 0.2536 mol            = 1.018 mol 
divide by the least number of moles 
                               0.762 / 0.2536             0.2536 / 0.2536         1.018 / 0.2536
                               = 3.00                          = 1.00                         = 4.01
once they are rounded off 
Cu - 3
As - 1
S - 4
therefore empirical formula is Cu₃AsS₄

A chemist adds 0.50L of a 0.485 M copper(II) sulfate CuSO4 solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the millimoles of copper(II)
den301095 [7]

Explanation:

It is given that volume is 0.50 L and molarity is 0.485 M. Hence, number of millimoles will be calculated as follows.

               Number of millimoles = Molarity × Volume

As there are 1000 mL in 1 L. So, 0.50 L equals 500 mL.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

             Number of millimoles = Molarity × Volume

                                                 = 0.485 M × 500 mL      

                                                 = 242.5

Thus, we can conclude that 242.5 millimoles of copper(II) sulfate has been added by the chemist to the flask.
