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

Answer:

Explanation:

A tertiary alcohol is a compound (an alcohol) in which the carbon atom that has the hydroxyl group (-OH) is also bonded (saturated) to three different carbon atoms.

Based on the question, the only <u>tertiary alcohol that can result from C₆H₁₄O that have a 4-carbon chain</u> is

2-hydroxy-2,3-dimethylbutane

     H  OH   H    H

      |     |       |      |

H - C - C -   C  - C - H

      |     |       |      |

     H  CH₃  CH₃ H

From the above, we can see that the carbon atom having the hydroxyl group is also bonded to three other carbon atoms. And since we aren't considering stereochemistry, this is the only tertiary alcohol we can have with a 4-carbon chain

Remember, OIL RIG 
Oxygen Is Loss of electrons 
Reduction Is Gain of electrons 

If something goes from + to - then it has gained electrons 
If something goes from neutral to - it has gained electrons 
If it goes from - to + is loses electrons 
If it goes from neutral to + it loses electrons 

If something is oxidised, it is a reducing agent 
If something is reduced, it is an oxidising agent
