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

125 mile *1gallon/35 mi = 135/35 = (27/7) gallon gasoline 

27/7 gallon * 1 L/0.264 gallon = 14.6 L  gasoline

14.6 L gasoline * 2.5kg CO2/1L gasoline= 36.5 kg CO2

36.5 kg CO2 * 1lb/0.454 kg = 80.4 lb

Answer: 80.4 lb CO2

The accepted value for the molar volume of a gas is 22.4 L. Sarah's experimental data indicated that a mole of a gas had a volum
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Percent error = 12.5%

Explanation:

In a measurement you can find percent error following the formula:

Percent error = |Measured value - Accepted Value| / Acepted value * 100

Based on the data of the problem, accepted value is 22.4L and the measured Value (Value of Sara) was 19.6L.

Replacing:

Percent error = |Measured value - Accepted Value| / Acepted value * 100

Percent error = |19.6L - 22.4L| / 22.4L * 100

Percent error = |-2.8L| / 22.4L * 100

Percent error = 2.8L / 22.4L * 100

Percent error = 12.5%
