A 59.1g sample of aluminum is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0g of water. The aluminum sample st

arts off at 91.3°C and the temperature of the water starts off at 16.0°C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 19.5°C. The pressure remains constant at 1atm.
Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment.

Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment is 0.863 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 59.1 grams

Mass of water = 250.0 grams

Initial temperature of aluminium = 91.3 °C

Initial temperature of water = 16.0 °C

Final temperature = 19.5 °C

Pressure remains constant

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate specific heat of aluminium

Heat lost = heat gained

Qlost = -Q heat

Q = m*c*ΔT

heat aluminium = - heat water

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

⇒m(aluminium) = mass of aluminium = 59.1 grams

⇒c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 -T2 = 19.5 - 91.3 = -71.8 °C

⇒ m(water) = 250.0 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

⇒ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 -T2 = 19.5 - 16.0 = 3.5 °C

59.1 * c(aluminium) * -71.8 °C = 250.0 * 4.186 J/g°C * 3.5 °C

c(aluminium) = 0.863 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment is 0.863 J/g°C

What are the limitations of bohr's model of atom​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The Bohr Model is very limited in terms of size. Poor spectral predictions are obtained when larger atoms are in question. It cannot predict the relative intensities of spectral lines. It does not explain the Zeeman Effect, when the spectral line is split into several components in the presence of a magnetic field.

A 2.0-liter aqueous solution contains a total of 3.0 moles of dissolved NH4Cl at 25°C and standard pressure.
vladimir1956 [14]
The molarity is a concentration unit which defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the number of liters of solution. So the molarity of the solution is 3/2=1.5 mol/L.
