A 74.0-gram piece of metal at 94.0 °C is placed in 120.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 26.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

lorimeter is 32.0 °C. Determine the specific heat of the metal. Show your work by listing various steps, and explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to this situation.
** I know someone already answered this on another post, but I think their answer is incorrect** I did it and think I have the right answer, but I want to double check it. Thanks!

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat lost by metal = mass x specific heat x fall in temperature

= 74 x S x ( 94 - 32 )

= 4588 S

heat gained by water = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

= 120 x 1 x ( 32 - 26.5 )   ( specific heat of water is 1 cals / gm )

= 660

Heat lost = heat gained

4588S = 660

S = .14 cal /gm .

Specific heat of metal = .14 cal  / gm

Explain why the pbcl2 dissolved when water was added
lara [203]

PbCl2 would not dissolve because it is insoluble based on the solubility rules for substances that will dissolve in water. This compound would instead form a solid precipitate at the bottom of the container.

How will the concentration of H+ and OH− ions change when a substance with a pH 3.2 is added to water? Both H+ and OH− will incr
Lunna [17]
Also water H2O is made of H+ and OH- ions. so when an acidic substance is added to water the concentration of H+ ions increase.

30 its ASAP!!!! What is the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.485 moles of Oxygen gas at 23.0 oC and 0.980 atm?
USPshnik [31]
Use the universal gas formula

PV=nRT
where
P=pressure ( 0.980 atm)
V=volume (L)
T=temperature ( 23 ° C = 23+273.15 = 296.15 ° K)
n=number of moles of ideal gas (0.485 mol)
R=universal gas constant = <span>0.08205 L atm / (mol·K)

Substitute values,
Volume, V (in litres)
=nRT/P
=0.485*0.08205*296.15/0.980
= 12.0256 L
= 12.0 L (to three significant figures)
