Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

44.0 J needed

Mass of solid zinc = 10.6 grams

Initial temperature = 24.9 °C

Final temperature = 36.4 °C

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the specific heat of zinc

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with Q = heat (in Joule) = 44.0 J

⇒ with m = the mass of the solid zinc = 10.6 grams

⇒ with c = the specific heat of the zinc = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2-T1 = 36.4 °C - 24.9 °C = 11.5 °C

44.0 J = 10.6 grams * c * 11.5°C

c = 44.0 J / (10.6g * 11.5 °C)

c = 0.361 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

You need to prepare 1 L of the citric acid/citrate buffer. You have chosen to use Method 1 (see lab presentation). Calculate the
prisoha [69]

Answer:

3.11 is the pH of the buffer

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer is obtained using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [Conjugate base] / [Weak acid]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer, pKa = -log Ka = 3.14 for the citric buffer and [] could be taken as the moles of each species.</em>

The citric acid,HX (Weak acid), reacts with NaOH to produce sodium citrate, NaX (weak base) and water:

HX + NaOH → H2O + NaX

That means the moles of NaOH added = Moles of sodium citrate produced

And the resulitng moles of HX = Initial moles - Moles NaOH added

<em>Moles HX and NaX:</em>

Moles NaOH = 0.100L * (0.65mol / L) = 0.065 moles NaOH = Moles NaX

Moles HX = 0.300L * (0.45mol / L) = 0.135 moles HX - 0.065 moles NaOH = 0.070 moles HX

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 3.14 + log [0.065mol] / [0.070mol]

pH = 3.11 is the pH of the buffer
