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

Strong acids are assumed 100% dissociated in water. True As a solution becomes more basic, the pOH of the solution increases. Fa
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Strong acids are assumed 100% dissociated in water- True

As a solution becomes more basic, the pOH of the solution increases- false

The conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base- true

The Ka equilibrium constant always refers to the reaction of an acid with water to produce the conjugate base of the acid and the hydronium ion- True

As the Kb value for a base increases, base strength increases- true

The weaker the acid, the stronger the conjugate base- true

Explanation:

An acid is regarded as a strong acid if it attains 100% or complete dissociation in water.

The pOH decreases as a solution becomes more basic (as OH^- concentration increases).

Ka refers to the dissociation of an acid HA into H3O^+ and A^-.

The greater the base dissociation constant, the greater the base strength.

The weaker an acid is, the stronger , its conjugate base will be.

The molar heat of fusion of gold is 12.550 kJ mol–1. At its melting point, how much mass of melted gold must solidify to release
KATRIN_1 [288]

The mass of melted gold to release the energy would be  3, 688. 8 Kg

<h3>How to determine the mass</h3>

The formula for quantity of energy is given thus;

Q = n × HF

Where n represents number of moles

HF  represents  heat of fusion

To find the number of moles, we have

235.0 = n × 12.550

number of moles = \frac{235}{12. 550} = 18. 725 moles

Note that molar mass of Gold is 197g/ mol

Let's note that;

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 18. 725 × 197

Mass = 3, 688. 8 Kg

Thus, the mass of melted gold to release the energy would be  3, 688. 8 Kg

Answer: devices are powered by moving water and are different from traditional hydropower turbines in that they are placed directly in a river, ocean or tidal current. They generate power only from the kinetic energy of moving water (current).

does adding boiled, deionized water to the titrating flask to wash the wall of the erlenmeyer flask and the buret tip increase,
olga55 [171]

Addition of  boiled, deionized water to the titrating flask to wash the wall of the erlenmeyer flask and the buret tip will have no effect on the Ksp value of ca(oh)2.

There will be no effect on the Ksp value as boiled deionised water is not able to alter the number of hydronium and hydroxide ions. As no change in the ions happen so there will be no change in Ksp value. The equilibrium constant for a solid material dissolving in an aqueous solution is the solubility product constant, Ksp. It stands for the degree of solute dissolution in solution. A substance's Ksp value increases with how soluble it is.
