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

How is the weathering of rocks by water different from the weathering of rocks by ice?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

It is because water is liquid and it can be weathered easily. While weathering by solid is a bit dangerous because of its hardness.

All of the statements describe hydrogen bonds EXCEPT: a. Hydrogen bonds account for the anomalously high boiling point of water.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The correct option is e

Explanation:

Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular interaction/bonding that are formed between an electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine) and a hydrogen atom. They are weak intermolecular bonds compared to covalent bonds but account for the high boiling point of water because of the strong hydrogen bond presence between the water molecules. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds between each other; since an oxygen atom (in a water molecule) has two lone pairs on it's outermost shell, it forms an hydrogen bond with two hydrogen atoms of other water molecule. Due to the fluidity of liquid water molecules, hydrogen bonds keep getting broken (although recreated/formed almost immediately), hence, individual hydrogen bonds in liquid water does not exist for long.

In the explanation above, it was stated that the strength of the hydrogen bond in water is the reason for it's high boiling point. The atoms in a water molecule are bent NOT linear hence the strength of hydrogen bond does not depend on the linearity of the atoms involved in the bond.

A 20 N object is placed on a surface and starts to slide. What is the MOST likely reason the object begins to move?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

If the object starts to slide it must be on a slope.

There are 2 forces acting on the object - gravity and the friction between the object and the surface.

If sliding starts then the forces must be unbalanced.

The force of gravity is greater than the friction.
