A 72.0-gram piece of metal at 96.0 °C is placed in 130.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 25.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

lorimeter is 31.0 °C. Determine the specific heat of the metal. Show your work by listing various steps, and explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to this situation.

Answer: The answer is S = 0.1528 cal/g °C

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed.

So, energy lost by metal pieces is equal to the energy gained by water in the calorimeter.

Specific heat of water is 1 cal/g °C

⇒ heat energy  Q = mSΔT, where m = mass of a substance

                                                        S = specific heat

                                                        ΔT = change in temperature

Now, the heat lost by metal piece, Q = 72×S×(96-31)

                                                      = 4680×S cal

Heat gained by water, Q = 130×1×(31-25.5)

                                        = 715 cal

⇒ 4680×S = 715.

⇒ S = 0.1528 cal/g °C.

Consider the molecule BF3. (a) What is the electron config- uration of an isolated B atom? (b) What is the electron con- figurat
anzhelika [568]

For the given molecule, we are asked to give-

  1. The electron configuration of an isolated B atom
  2. The electron configuration of an isolated F atom
  3. Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride
  4. valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom.
  • The electron configuration of an isolated B atom:

as atomic number of B is 5

electronic configuration will be [He] 2s² 2p¹

  • The electron configuration of an isolated F atom:

as atomic number of F is 9

electronic configuration will be  [He] 2s² 2p5

  • Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride will be sp2.

as the one s and two of p orbital from the valance shell will hybridised to make 3 hybrid orbital of B resulting in 3 B-F bonds.

  • valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom will be 1

Base your answer on the diagram below and on your knowledge of Earth Science. The diagram represents a cutaway view of a flat-pl
algol13

Answer:

Explanation:

A solar collector is a device that absords Sun's heat energy to heat air or water. It is majorly used for heating purpose, and do not generate electricity directly.

The flow tubes and collector plate are black in color so as to increase the intensity of heat generated by the collector. A black body is a good absorber of heat, it absorbs most heat directed to the collector. Also, a black body is a good radiator of heat, the heat absorbed is rediated to the appropriate channels for the heating of water or air molecules. The black color increases the efficeincy and percentage of solar energy absorbed by the collector.

If a reflective color is used (e.g white), major percentage of the incident heat would be reflected. This would decrease the efficiency of the solar collector.

If there are 3.10 moles of O, how many moles of each of the compounds are present?
Burka [1]

Explanation:

The question pretty  much requires us to find the amount of moles of each compounds based on the number of moles of O given.

H2SO4

1 mol of H2SO4 contains 4 mol of O

x mol of H2SO4 would contain 3.10 mol of O

x = 3.10 * 1 / 4 = 0.775 mol of H2SO4

C2H4O2

1 mol of C2H4O2 contains 2 mol of O

x mol of C2H4O2 would contain 3.10 mol of O

x = 3.10 * 1 / 2 = 1.55 mol of C2H4O2

NaOH

1 mol of NaOH contains 1 mol of O

x mol of NaOH would contain 3.10 mol of O

x = 3.10 * 1 / 1 = 3.10 mol of NaOH
