A 50.0 mL sample of a 1.00 M solution of CuSO4 is mixed with 50.0 mL of 2.00 M KOH in a calorimeter. The temperature of both sol

utions was 20.2 degree celsious before mixing and 26.3 degree celsious after mixing . The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 12.1 J/K. From the data, calculate delta Hfor the process
CuSO4(1 M)+2KOH(2 M)----------------------Cu(OH)2(s)+K2SO4(0.5 M)
Assume that the specific heat and density of the solution after mixing are the same as those of pure water and that the volumes are additive.

Answer : The enthalpy change for the process is 52.5 kJ/mole.

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the solution

q=[q_1+q_2]

q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m_2\times c_2\times \Delta T]

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

q_1 = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q_2 = heat absorbed by the solution

c_1 = specific heat of calorimeter = 12.1J/^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_2 = mass of water or solution = Density\times Volume=1/mL\times 100.0mL=100.0g

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(26.3-20.2)^oC=6.1^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=[(12.1J/^oC\times 6.1^oC)+(100.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times 6.1^oC)]

q=2623.61J

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change for the process.

\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat released = 2626.61 J

n = number of moles of copper sulfate used = Concentration\times Volume=1M\times 0.050L=0.050mole

\Delta H=\frac{2623.61J}{0.050mole}=52472.2J/mole=52.5kJ/mole

Therefore, the enthalpy change for the process is 52.5 kJ/mole.

An atom had an average atomic mass of about 63.5 amu. What is the chemical symbol for the atom?
Virty [35]

An atom has an average atomic mass of 63.5amu. 1 amu is equal to 1 gram per mole. So 63.5 amu is equal to 63.5 grams per mile or 63.5 g/mol. So the answer is Cu or Copper. Hope this helps. If it does, please mark as Brainliest.

How do astronomers observe and learn about celestial<br> objects?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Astronomers use a number of telescopes sensitive to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum to study objects in space. Even though all light is fundamentally the same thing, the way that astronomers observe light depends on the portion of the spectrum they wish to study.

Tresset [83]
You will need the equation PV = nRT

P = Pressure in kPa
V = Volume in L
n = moles
R = 8.314 (constant)
T = Temperature in Kelvin 

First convert 2.5 atm into kPa:

2.5 X 101.3 = 253.25 kPa

Convert 125 Celsius into Kelvin:

125 + 273 = 398 K

Convert Gallons to Litres:

1.25  X 3.79 = 4.74 L

Plug your values into the equation to solve for n:

(253.25)(4.74) = n(8.314)(398)

n = (253.25)(4.74)/(8.314)(398)

n = 0.362 moles

Now use M = m/n to solve for the mass of O2

M = Molar Mass 
M = mass
n= moles

32 = m/(0.362)

m = (32)(0.362) 

m = 11.58g
