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 :

Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

Mathematically,

V\propto T

                                Boiling water bath        Cool bath 1       Cool bath 2

Temperature (⁰C)                  99                              17                       2

Temperature (K)(T)    273+99=372             273+17=290      273+2=275

Volume of water                  0.0                             27.0                34.0

in cool flask (mL)

Volume of water=              135.8                           135.8               135.8

Air in flask (mL)

Volume of air                    135.8                           108.8               101.8

in cool flask (V)

\frac{V}{T}                                \frac{135.8}{372}=0.365             \frac{108.8}{290}=0.375         \frac{101.8}{275}=0.370

The graph volume versus temperature for a gas is shown below.

Answer:

Antibiotics are strong medicines that treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't treat viral infections because they can't kill viruses. You'll get better when the viral infection has run its course. Common illnesses caused by bacteria are urinary tract infections, strep throat, and some pneumonia.

Explanation:

antibiotics can treat bacterial infections, such as:

   Most sinus infections.

   Strep throat.

   Urinary tract infections.

   Pneumonia.

   Most ear infections (otitis media)

   Nasty bacterial skin infections (impetigo)
