A 140.0-g sample of water at 25.0°c is mixed with 111.7 g of a certain metal at 100.0°c. after thermal equilibrium is establishe

d, the (final) temperature of the mixture is 29.6°c. what is the specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming it is constant over the temperature range concerned?

Mass of water = 140.0 g

Initial temperature of water = 25.0°C

Mass of a certain metal = 111.7 g

Initial temperature of metal = 100.0°C

Final temperature of water and metal = 29.6°C

Since the metal is at a higher initial temperature it will lose heat and the water having a lower initial temperature will gain heat.  

Thus, heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water  

formula: (mass metal )(initialT - finalT)( Cp metal ) = ( mass water )(finalT- initalT)( Cp water)  

After plugging in the given data we get,  

(111.7g )(100 °C -29.6°C)( Cp metal) = (140.0g )(29.6°C-25.0°C) (4.184 J/g°C)  

(111.7g )(70.4°C)( Cp metal )=(140.0g )(4.6°C)(4.184 J/g°C)  

(7863.7 g°C) (Cp metal) = 2694.5 J  

(Cp metal) =2694.5 J/ 7863.7 g°C  

Thus, Cp of metal = 0.3427 J/g°C

A 5.000 g mixture contains strontium nitrate and potassium bromide. Excess lead(II) nitrate solution is added to precipitate out
scZoUnD [109]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of potassium bromide in the mixture is 9.996%

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

<u>For lead (II) bromide:</u>

Given mass of lead (II) bromide = 0.7822 g

Molar mass of lead (II) bromide = 367 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of lead (II) bromide}=\frac{0.7822g}{367g/mol}=0.0021mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and potassium bromide follows:

2KBr+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow PbBr_2+2KNO_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of lead (II) bromide is produced from 2 moles of potassium bromide

So, 0.0021 moles of lead (II) bromide will be produced from = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.0021=0.0042mol of potassium bromide

  • Now, calculating the mass of potassium bromide by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mol

Moles of KBr = 0.0042 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0042mol=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{119g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of KBr}=0.4998g

  • To calculate the percentage composition of KBr in the mixture, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100

Mass of mixture = 5.000 g

Mass of KBr = 0.4998 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{0.4998g}{5.000g}\times 100=9.996\%

Hence, the percent by mass of KBr in the mixture is 9.996 %

What phenomenon does the Coriolis effect arise from making it so we see more than two large convection cells on Earth? Curvature
vredina [299]

Answer:

The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect arises from the fact that different latitudes of the earth's surface rotate at different speeds. The path of wind on earth is deflected by the Coriolis effect. As things move over the earth, they meet different speed areas, which causes the Coriolis Effect to divert their route.

Thus, The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth around its own axis.

What is the Nobel gas notation for selenium​
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

Explanation:

The noble gas notation is used for the shortest electronic configuration of other periodic table elements.

For example:

The atomic number of Argon is 18, and its electronic configuration is,

Ar₁₈ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

The atomic number of selenium is 34, its electronic configuration is,

Se₃₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

By using the noble gas notation, electronic configuration of selenium can be written is shortest form.

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

This electronic configuration is also called abbreviated electronic configuration.

What is the maximum number of moles of Al2O3 that can be produced by the reaction of .4 mol of Al with .4 mol of O2
Darya [45]

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of Al = 0.4

Moles of O2 = 0.4

<u>To determine:</u>

Moles of Al2O3 produced

<u>Explanation:</u>

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

4 moles of Al produces 2 moles of Al2O3

Therefore, 0.4 moles of Al will produce:

0.4 moles Al * 2 moles Al2O3/4 moles Al = 0.2 moles Al2O3

Similarly;

3 moles O2 produces 2 moles Al2O3

0.4 moles of O2 will yield: 0.4 *2/3 = 0.267 moles

Thus Al will be the limiting reactant.

Ans: Maximum moles of Al2O3 = 0.2 moles
