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

1.20 x 10^22 molecules NaOH to gram
Trava [24]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.797 \ g \ NaOH}}

Explanation:

<u>1. Convert Molecules to Moles</u>

First, we must convert molecules to moles using Avogadro's Number: 6.022*10²³. This tells us the number of particles in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are molecules of sodium hydroxide.

\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ molecules \ NaOH} {1 \ mol \ NaOH}}

Multiply by the given number of molecules.

1.20*10^{22} \ molecules \ NaOH *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ molecules \ NaOH} {1 \ mol \ NaOH}}

Flip the fraction so the molecules cancel out.

1.20*10^{22} \ molecules \ NaOH *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH} {6.022*10^{23} \ molecules \ NaOH}}

1.20*10^{22}  *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH} {6.022*10^{23}}}

\frac {1.20*10^{22} \ mol \ NaOH} {6.022*10^{23}}}

0.0199269345732 \ mol \ NaOH

<u>2. Convert Moles to Grams</u>

Next, we convert moles to grams using the molar mass.

We must calculate the molar mass using the values on the Periodic Table. Look up each individual element.

  • Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol

Since the formula has no subscripts, we can simply add the molar masses.

  • NaOH: 22.9897693+15.999+1.008=39.9967693 g/mol

Use this as a ratio.

\frac {39.9967693 \ g  \ NaOH }{1 \ mol \ NaOH}

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

0.0199269345732 \ mol \ NaOH*\frac {39.9967693 \ g  \ NaOH }{1 \ mol \ NaOH}

The moles of sodium hydroxide cancel.

0.0199269345732 *\frac {39.9967693 \ g  \ NaOH }{1}

0.0199269345732 *39.9967693 \ g  \ NaOH

0.79701300498 \ g \ NaOH

The original measurement of molecules has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place. The 0 tells us to leave the 7 in the hundredth place.

0.797 \ g \ NaOH

1.20*10²² molecules of sodium hydroxide is approximately 0.797 grams.

Why do the spectra of the molecular species show broader bands compared to atomic spectra such as that seen for the hydrogen ato
Olenka [21]

Explanation:

The  atomic spectrum is more like the transitions of electrons among electronic energy levels in an isolated atom. Atomic spectrum is mainly affected by interaction of the transitioning electrons between the nuclei spins and between the other electrons in the same atom.

However, molecular spectrum involve transition of electrons in molecules with two and more atoms(it can be in the same or different). Also, the valence electrons are now in different orbitals than that of  the atomic orbitals and the orbital structure has changed the electronic transitions are different

Chem<br> Equations<br> Balance and Classify each of the following equations into:<br> Combination reaction, Decomposition Reacti
Arlecino [84]

Answer :

(A) The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2KBr(aq)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+Br_2(l)

This reaction is a single replacement reaction.

(B) The balanced chemical reaction will be:

This reaction is a double displacement reaction.

(C) The balanced chemical reaction will be:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

This reaction is a combination reaction.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of an element present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

Part (A):

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2KBr(aq)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+Br_2(l)

This reaction is a single replacement reaction in which the most reactive element displaces the least reactive element from its solution.

Part (B):

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

CaBr_2(aq)&#10;+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow  CaSO_4(s)+2HBr(g)

This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which a positive cation and a negative anion of two reactants exchange their places to form two new products.

Part (C):

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two atoms combine to form a larger molecule.
