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.

2. What is the molarity of 100 mL of a 3.0% H2O2 (mass/volume) solution? What is the molarity of 100 mL of a 2.25% H2O2 solution
KatRina [158]

The 3% mass/volume H₂O₂ means 3 g of H₂O₂ in 100 ml of water.

Now, Molarity (M) = No. of moles of H₂O₂ / Volume of solution in liter

No. of moles of H₂O₂ = Mass / Molar mass = 3 g / 34 g/mol = 0.088 mol

So, molarity = 0.088 × 1000 ml / 100 ml = 0.88 M

In case of 2.25 % H₂O₂,

No of moles = 2.25 g / 34 g/mol = 0.066 mol

Molarity = 0.066 mol / 0.100 L = 0.66 M.

The partial pressure of O2 in air at sea level is 0.21atm. The solubility of O2 in water at 20∘C, with 1 atm O2 pressure is 1.38
adell [148]

Answer:

1.21x10^{-3} M

Explanation:

Henry's law relational the partial pressure and the concentration of a gas, which is its solubility. So, at the sea level, the total pressure of the air is 1 atm, and the partial pressure of O2 is 0.21 atm. So 21% of the air is O2.

Partial pressure = Henry's constant x molar concentration

0.21 = Hx1.38x10^{-3}

H = \frac{0.21}{1.38x10^{-3} }

H = 152.17 atm/M

For a pressure of 665 torr, knowing that 1 atm = 760 torr, so 665 tor = 0.875 atm, the ar concentration is the same, so 21% is O2, and the partial pressure of O2 must be:

P = 0.21*0.875 = 0.1837 atm

Then, the molar concentration [O2], will be:

P = Hx[O2]

0.1837 = 152.17x[O2]

[O2] = 0.1837/15.17

[O2] = 1.21x10^{-3} M

Choose the best statement of the octet rule from those listed below atoms lose 8 electrons to become valent atoms lose 8 electro
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.

The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.

For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
