<h3>Answer:</h3>

The mass of water required is 50.2 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Quantity of heat of a substance is calculated by multiplying the mass of a substance by the specific heat capacity and the change in temperature.

That is;

Q=m×c×ΔT

In this case, water is used to cool a metal, therefore, water will gain heat while the metal will lose heat.

Heat gained is equivalent to heat lost

Heat gained by water = Heat lost by the metal

Step 1: Heat lost by the metal

Mass of the metal = 50.0 g

Specific heat capacity of metal = 0.60 J/g°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 70°C

Heat lost by the metal = 50 g× 0.6 × 70

= 2100 Joules

Step 2: Heat gained by water

Mass of water = x g

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

Temperature change = 10 °C

Heat gained by water = x g × 4.18 × 10

= 41.8x joules

Step 3: Mass of water

Heat gained by water = heat lost by the metal

41.8x = 2100

x = 50.239 g

= 50.2 g (1 d.p)

The mass of water is 50.2 g

5g of a mixture of KOH and KCl with water form a solution of 250mL. We have 25ml of this solution and we mix it with 14,3mL of H

cricket20 [7]

We know that the number of moles HCl in 14.3mL of 0.1M HCl can be found by multiplying the volume (in L) by the concentration (in M).
(0.0143L HCl)x(0.1M HCl)=0.00143 moles HCl

Since HCl reacts with KOH in a one to one molar ratio (KOH+HCl⇒H₂O+KCl), the number of moles HCl used to neutralize KOH is the number of moles KOH. Therefore the 25mL solution had to contain 0.00143mol KOH.

To find the mass of KOH in the original mixture you have to divide the number of moles of KOH by the 0.025L to find the molarity of the KOH solution..
(0.00143mol KOH)/(0.025L)=0.0572M KOH

Since the morality does not change when you take some of the solution away, we know that the 250mL solution also had a molarity of 0.0572. That being said you can find the number of moles the mixture had by multiplying 0.0572M KOH by 0.250L to get the number of moles of KOH.
(0.0572M KOH)x(0.250L)=0.0143mol KOH

Now you can find the mass of the KOH by multiplying it by its molar mass of 56.1g/mol.
0.0143molx56.1g/mol=0.802g KOH

Finally you can calulate the percent KOH of the original mixture by dividing the mass of the KOH by 5g.
0.802g/5g=0.1604
the original mixture was 16% KOH

I hope this helps.

When an electron in an atom spontaneously jumps from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, the atom?

vlabodo [156]

If an atom suffers from a collision, that causes an electron to jump from a lower to higher state, it is called collisional excitation

How does the shape of an enzyme affect its function?

lutik1710 [3]

Each enzyme's active site is suitable for one specific type of substrate – just like a lock that has the right shape for only one specific key. Changing the shape of the active site of an enzyme will cause its reaction to slow down until the shape has changed so much that the substrate no longer fits.

You bought a new fish aquarium with the dimensions of 55 cm x 100 cm x 80 cm. what volume of water should you put in it? Show yo

harina [27]

Since its volume you do what it says 55 cm x 100 cm x 80cm and do 100 x 50 which is 5,000. then 5,000 x 80 which is 40,000. sorry i cant show work on here.
