A piece of iron metal is heated to 155 degrees C and placed into a calorimeter that contains 50.0 mL of water at 18.7 degrees C.

The temperature of the water rises to 26.4 degrees C. The specific heat of iron of iron is 0.444 J/g degrees C. Assuming no loss of heat to the surroundings, what is the mass of the iron?
A-26.2 g
B-28.3 g
C-29.2 g
D-28.2 g

Answer:

D = 28.2g

Explanation:

Initial temperature of metal (T1) = 155°C

Initial Temperature of calorimeter (T2) = 18.7°C

Final temperature of solution (T3) = 26.4°C

Specific heat capacity of water (C2) = 4.184J/g°C

Specific heat capacity of metal (C1) = 0.444J/g°C

Volume of water = 50.0mL

Assuming no heat loss

Heat energy lost by metal = heat energy gain by water + calorimeter

Heat energy (Q) = MC∇T

M = mass

C = specific heat capacity

∇T = change in temperature

Mass of metal = M1

Mass of water = M2

Density = mass / volume

Mass = density * volume

Density of water = 1g/mL

Mass(M2) = 1 * 50

Mass = 50g

Heat loss by the metal = heat gain by water + calorimeter

M1C1(T1 - T3) = M2C2(T3 - T2)

M1 * 0.444 * (155 - 26.4) = 50 * 4.184 * (26.4 - 18.7)

0.444M1 * 128.6 = 209.2 * 7.7

57.0984M1 = 1610.84

M1 = 1610.84 / 57.0984

M1 = 28.21g

The mass of the metal is 28.21g

In the bromination of arenes, which of the following statements regarding the reaction is true?a.The hydrocarbon is used in exce
Olenka [21]

The hydrocarbon is used in excess.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bromination of an arene is not simple as bromination of an alkane. This is because the carbocation or free radicle formation in benzene is a very energy consuming process. This is why a lewis base like aluminium bromide or ferric bromide is used. The ferric bromide takes in the bromine radicle and forms the brominium cation which helps in the formation of electrophile. Now this electrophile brominium cation attacks the benzene ring and forms a temporary sp3 hybrid carbon intermediate. Then the hydrogen is taken by the FeBr4- forming HBr and regenerating the FeBr3 as well as Aromaticity of the arene species at the same time. Here hydrocarbon is used in excess just to prevent the chances of multiple substitution in the same arene molecule.

If 250 milliliters of Calcium Hydroxide is titrated with 345 milliliters of 0.75 molarity hydrobromic acid, what is the concentr
Bingel [31]
The balanced neutralization reaction here is:

Ca(OH)2 + 2HBr --> 2H2O + CaBr2

Notice that two moles of Her are required to neutralize every one mole of Ca(OH)2. This means that for however many moles of Her reacted, HALF as many moles of Ca(OH)2 reacted as well.

Moles of HBr reacted = 0.75 M x 0.345 L = 0.259 mol

Moles of Ca(OH)2 reacted = 0.259 mol / 2 = 0.130 mol

Concentration of Ca(OH)2 = 0.130 mol / 0.250 L = 0.52 M
