specific heat of metal piece is 0.839 J/g. C.

Explanation:

As it is problem of convective heat and mass transfer, concept of energy balance can be used. The phenomenon occur here is natural. As temperature of metal is higher than that of water, so flow of temperature is from higher temperature to lower temperature, heat will flow from metal piece to water.

Data Given are as follows:

mass of piece of metal = 90 g

mass of water = 120 g

specific heat of water = 4.18  J/g.°C

specific heat of metal = ?

T metal,i = 98.6°C    ...Initial temperature of metal piece

T water,i = 24.3°C    ...Initial temperature of water

T metal ,f = 34°C      ...Initial temperature of metal piece

T water,f = 34°C       ...Initial temperature of water

ΔT water = T water,f - T water,i = 34°C - 24.3°C

ΔT metal  = T metal,i - T metal,f = 98.6°C - 34°C

It is easily understood that whatever amount of heat is liberated  by metal piece absorbed by water. Heat transfer is limited to thermal equilibrium between water and metal piece. Final condition is such that temperature of water will rise upto 34°C and temperature of metal will drop to 34°C.

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water

m \times cm \times T metal  =  m \times cw \times T water

Putting values in above equation,

90 \times cm \times 64.4=  120 \times 4.18 \times 9.7

90 \times cm \times 64.4=  4865.52 \\ 5796 \times cm =  4865.52 \\ cm= \frac{4865.52}{5796}  \\ cm= 0.839 J/g. C

Therefore, specific heat of metal piece is 0.839 J/g. C.

To measure the amount of nickel in some industrial waste fluid, an analytical chemist adds sodium hydroxide solution to a sample
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The final balanced equation is

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+

Explanation:

It is given that sodium hydroxide is added to collect the solid nickel(II) hydroxide product

The empirical equation for this statement is

Ni2+ + NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + Na+

We will first balance the hydroxide molecule. On the right side there are two OH molecules.

Thus, on the left side we will take 2 sodium hydroxide

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + Na+

Now we will balance the sodium ion which are 2 in numbers on the left side and 1 on the right side

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+

So, the final balanced equation is

Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+
