Answer:

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

Temperature = 5.00 °C

Mass of water = 20.2 grams

Temperature of water = 90.00 °C

The final temperature = 75.00 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: calculate the specific heat of aluminium

heat won = heat lost

Qaluminium = -Qwater

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(aluminium * c(aluminium) *ΔT(aluminium = -m(water) * c(water) *ΔT(water)

⇒with m(aluminium) = mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

⇒with c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with ΔT(aluminium) = the change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 75.00 °C - 5.00 °C = 70.00 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 20.2 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 75.00°C - 90.00 °C = -15.00 °C

20.0 * c(aluminium) * 70.00 = -20.2 * 4.184 * -15.00

c(aluminium) = 0.906 J/g°C

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C

Afirmar que el h20 es la formula que corresponde al agua, esto es una teoría, idea, ley, hipotesis o experimentación
frozen [14]

Answer:

Ley.

Explanation:

En la teoría de la ciencia, la regularidad de los procesos en la naturaleza se denomina ley de la naturaleza. Las leyes naturales se diferencian de otras leyes en que los seres humanos no pueden ponerlas en vigor ni anularlas a su discreción. En tal sentido, la composición química del agua es indudablemente una ley natural, en tanto el hombre no puede modificarla sin modificar las características inherentes del agua como tal.

Galina-37 [17]
The correct answer to this question is Water will move from left to right.

Water tends to move over to the side where there is less water. For example, if there's less water on the RIGHT side, then the water will tend to move from left, to RIGHT. It <span>shows more solute molecules on the right, so water will move to this side by osmosis. I think it is to do with entropy and the tendency for systems to move to equilibrium if there is an increase in entropy</span>

Some compounds are described as binary compounds what does this mean
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

It means these compounds are only made up of two elements.

Explanation:

Binary compounds:

The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.

For example:

The following compounds are binary:

HCl

H₂O

NH₃

HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine. Ammonia is also binary compound because it is made up of only two elements nitrogen and hydrogen.

water is also binary because it is also made up of only two elements hydrogen and oxygen.

While all polyatomic compounds are not binary. for example,

H₂SO₄

It is made up of hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen. There are three elements are present in this compound. So, it is not binary compound.

Oxalic acid, H2C2O4, reacts
Dominik [7]

Answer:0.005M

Explanation:

First deduce the oxidation and reduction half equations and from that obtain the balanced redox reaction equation. From that, the number of moles of reacting species are seen from the stoichiometry of the reaction from which the number of moles of oxalate is obtained and substituted to obtain the molar concentration of oxalate.
