How much heat does it take to melt 5.0g solid copper?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Q=1.04kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for latent heat (phase change) we need to consider the enthalpy associated with the involved process, here, melting or fusion; thus, the enthalpy of fusion of copper is 13.2 kJ/mol, therefore, the heat is computed as:

Q=m\Delta H_{fus}

Nevertheless, since the given enthalpy is per mole of copper, we need to use its atomic mass to perform the correct calculation as follows:

Q=5.0g*\frac{1mol}{63.54}* 13.2\frac{kJ}{mol}\\ \\Q=1.04kJ

Which is positive as it needs to be supplied to the system.

Best regards.

Watch the animation depicting Rutherford's experiment and choose which of the following conclusions are correct.Check all that a
Blababa [14]

Answer:

  • <em>1. The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus.</em>

<em />

  • <em>3. Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.</em>

<em />

  • <em>4. The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space.</em>

<em />

  • <em>6. The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.</em>

Explanation:

When J.J Thmpson discovered the electron, he depicted the atom by the plum pudding model: a solid dough of homogeneously distributed positive charge (the pudding) containing negatively charged electrons (the plums).

Later, the scientist <em>Ernest Rutherford</em>, with its experiment of the gold foil experiment showed that the subatomic particles where not all concentrated in a solid part.

When a thin gold foil was bombarded with alpha particles (positively charged nuclei of helium atoms), most of the particles went through the gold sheet, with little deviation, but some particles bounded with a high deviation.

Such few high deviations were explained by the fact that there was a heavy region in the atom (the core or nucleus) with the positive charge that repelled the positively charged alpha particles.

Thus, <em>the mass of the atom was conentrated at the nucleus</em> (choice 1), where the positive charge is distributed in one location, which is the nucleus (not over the entire atom, just on the nucleus) discarding the choice number 2 (that a positive charge is spread equally over the atom) and proving choices 3 (<em>the positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom</em>) and 6 (<em>the atom contains a positively charged nucleus</em>).

Since most of the particles indeed went through the nucleus, this nucleus has to  occupy little space, and most of the atom was empty space, proving choice 4 (<em>the majority of the space inside the atom is empty space</em>).

What limitation is placed on electrons in the bohr model of the atom?
Olegator [25]
I thinking the limitation is that a shifting electron will always move from a more excited states to a less excited state. Electrons could not circle the nucleus because they would lose energy by emitting electromagnetic radiation and spiral into the nucleus. In addition Bohr was not able to explain electrons orbits of large atom w/many electrons.
