In order to determine the heat absorbed or given by a metal it is important to determine the heat loss or gained by calorimeter

If we dip a hot metal piece in a calorimeter, it will lose energy which will be absorbed by calorimeter

The heat absorbed by calorimeter = heat loss by metal

the heat absorbed by calorimeter = heat capacity of calorimter X change in temperature

so we should have the value of heat absorbed by calorimeter which will be equal to the heat loss by metal

heat loss by metal = mass of metal X specific heat of metal X change in temperature

thus we can calculate the specific heat of metal.

It is important to determine the qcalorimeter before determining the qmetal because the qcalorimeter is a constant and it's value is used to find the value of qmetal.

a compound is decomposed In the laboratory and produces 1.40 g N and 0.20g H what is the empirical formula
Bumek [7]

First, find the number of moles for each element. The molar mass for nitrogen is 14 g/mol and that of hydrogen is 1 g/mol.

1.40 g N / 14 g/mol = 0.1 mol N

0.20 g H / 1 g/mol = 0.2 mol H

Find the mole ratio. Divide both numbers with the much lower value. In this case, it is 0.1 mol N.

For N: 0.1 ÷ 0.1 = 1

For H: 0.2÷0.1 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula is NH_{2}.

You make the following measurements of an object – 22 kg and 42 m3. What would the object’s density be? Show your work for credi
Dafna11 [192]
Density = mass / volume
therefore, density = 22/42 = 0.524 kg/m3

How does the brønsted-Lowry theory define acids and bases?
Leviafan [203]

They define acids as proton donors, and bases as proton acceptors

If you were to have:

HNO3 + H2O -> H3O+. + NO3-

You can see that the nitric acid (HNO3) gave a hydrogen ion which has 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 0 electrons to the water so we just say that it gave a proton.

Now let's see a base

NH3 + H2O -> NH4+ + OH-

Now, you can see that the ammonia (NH3) gained a hydrogen ion (proton) from the water to become ammonium(NH4). which means it accepted a proton

That's basically it. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions
