An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10

.0°C. Two metallic blocks are placed into the water. One is a 300.0-g piece of copper at 30.0°C. The other has a mass of 70.0 g and is originally at a temperature of 100°C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20.0°C.(a) Determine the specific heat of the unknown sample?(b) Using the data in the table above, can you make a positive identification of the unknown material?(explain)

Answer:

1822.14 J/kg C

Explanation:

Mass of aluminum  = 0.100 kg

Mass of Water = 0.250 kg

Mass of copper = 0.300 kg

Mass of unknown object = 0.70 kg

Initial temperature of Aluminum = 10 C

Initial  temperature  of water = 10 C

Initial temperature of copper = 30 C

Initial temperature of = 100 C

Final temperature of all substances = 20 C

Change in temperature of each  of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material  respectively = 10 C , 10 C , -10 C, -80 C respectively

Specific heat of  each  of them Aluminum, water , copper and unknown material  respectively = 900,4186,387 and c respectively.

Heat gained by aluminum and water = (0.1)(900)(10) + (0.250)(4186)(10) = 11365 j

heat lost by copper and unknown  material  =(0.3)(387)(-10) = -1161

heat lost by unknown  material  =  (0.070)(c)(-80) = -5.6 c

Now solve for c using the calorimetry principle.

Heat lost + Heat gained = 0

⇒ -5.6 c = -11365 - (-1161) = -10204 j

Specific heat of unknown material = - 10204 / -5.6

                                                         = 1822.14  j/kg C  

b) Material having a specific heat of 1800 j /kg C is

Polyurethane elastomer.

First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.

first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!

Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!

During a single-replacement reaction, a more-active metal will replace a less-active metal in a compound. Which single-replaceme
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Mg will replace Ag in a compound

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is driven by the position of ions on the activity series.

As a rule of thumb, the position of metal ions on the activity series determines their reactivity.

Metal ions that are above another are more reactive and they will displace those that are lower.

Generally, activity increases as we go up the group.

Mg ions are higher than Ag ions on the series so, Mg will displace Ag from a solution.

A bowling ball is 21.6 cm in diameter. What is the angular speed of these ball whenit is moving at 3.0 m/s?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter = 21.6 cm

Speed = 3 m/s

Find:

Angular speed

Computation:

Radius = 21.6 / 2 = 10.8 cm = 0.108 m

Angular speed = v / r

Angular speed = 3 / 0.108

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)
