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.

1718 l of a 0.3556-m c3h7oh solution is diluted to a concentration of 0.1222 m, what is the volume of the resulting solution
Agata [3.3K]
Answer : The volume of the resulting solution will be 0.4999 L.

Explanation : As the two molar concentration of the C_{3} H_{7}OH solution are given and one of the volume concentration needs to be found.

So, according to the formula :-  m_{1}V_{1} = m_{2}V_{2}

And here if we consider V_{1} as 0.1718 L moles and m_{1}  as 0.3556 moles then we need to find V_{2} as m_{2}  is given as 0.1222 moles.
Hence on solving the formula we get,  

 V_{2} = (0.1718 X 0.3556) / 0.1222 = 0.4999 L

Aspartame is a sweetner that is 160 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) when dissolved in water. The molecular formula of a
NikAS [45]

Answer:

  • <u><em>294.307 g/mol</em></u>

Explanation:

The first question for this statment is:

  • <em>Calculate the gram-formula-mass of aspartame. </em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

The chemical formula is:

        C_{14}H_{18}N_2O_5 .

The <em>gram-formula-mass </em>is calculated adding the masses for all the atoms in the molecular formula:

Atom       Number of atoms      Atomic mass       Total mass

                                                            g/mol            g/mol

C                     14                              12.011              14 × 12.011 = 164.154

H                     18                              1.008              18 × 1.008 = 18.144

N                      2                              14.007             2 × 14.007 = 28.014

O                      5                              15.999             5 × 15.999 = 79.995

                                                                                ===================

                                                            Total            294.307 g/mol

Answer: 294.307 g/mol
