doesnt salt desolve ice? so wouldn't the salt dissolve in the ice water?
ANSWER:
Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the physical structure of chemical compounds, the way they react with other matter and the bonds that hold their atoms together. An example of physical chemistry is nitric acid eating through wood.
<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C
<u>Explanation:</u>
When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by metal will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.
The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:
![m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_1%5Ctimes%20c_1%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_1%29%3D-%5Bm_2%5Ctimes%20c_2%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_2%29%5D)
......(1)
where,
q = heat absorbed or released
= mass of metal = 30 g
= mass of water = 100 g
= final temperature = 25°C
= initial temperature of metal = 110°C
= initial temperature of water = 20.0°C
= specific heat of metal = ?
= specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![30\times c_1\times (25-110)=-[100\times 4.186\times (25-20)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=30%5Ctimes%20c_1%5Ctimes%20%2825-110%29%3D-%5B100%5Ctimes%204.186%5Ctimes%20%2825-20%29%5D)
Hence, the specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C
Answer:
Hydrofluoric acid.
Explanation:
To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:
1. Acetic acid
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5
pKa = 4.74
2. Benzoic acid
Ka = 6.5x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5
pKa = 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid.
Ka = 6.8x10^-4
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4
pKa = 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid
Ka = 3.0x10^-8
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8
pKa = 7.52
Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.
The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:
Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa
1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74
2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52
From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
