Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.289 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of metal = 110.0 grams

Temperature of the metal = 82.00 °C

MAss of water = 110.0 grams

Temperature of the water = 27.00 °C

The final temperature = 30.56 °C

The specific heat of H2O is 4.18 J/(g°C).

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of the metal

Heat lost = heat gained

Qlost = - Qgained

Qmetal = - Qwater

Q =m*c*ΔT

m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal) = -m(water) * c(water) *ΔT(water)

⇒with m(metal) = the mass of the metal = 110.0 grams

⇒with c(metal) = the specific heat of the metal = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with ΔT(metal) = the change of temperature of the metal = T2 - T1 = 30.56 - 82.00 °C= -51.44 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 110.0 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of water = T2 - T1 = 30.56 °C - 27.00 °C = 3.56 °C

110.0 * c(metal) * -51.44 = -110.0 * 4.18 * 3.56

c(metal) = 0.289 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.289 J/g°C

Answer:

Cp_{metal}=0.289\frac{J}{g^oC}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as the water is cold (lower initial temperature) and the metal is hot (higher initial temperature), the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water to attain an equilibrium temperature of 30.56 °C, this in an equation turns out:

-\Delta H_{metal}=\Delta H_{water}

In such a way, in terms of masses, heat capacities and temperatures we have:

-m_{metal}Cp_{metal}(T_{eq}-T_{metal})=m_{water}Cp_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})

Hence, solving for the heat capacity of the metal:

Cp_{metal}=\frac{m_{water}Cp_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})}{-m_{metal}Cp_{metal}(T_{eq}-T_{metal})}

Thus, with the given data we obtain:

Cp_{metal}=\frac{110.0g*4.18\frac{J}{g^oC} (30.56^oC-27.00^oC)}{-110.0g(30.56^oC-82.00^oC)}\\\\Cp_{metal}=0.289\frac{J}{g^oC}

Best regards.

Describe how the metal probably increases the reaction rate, identify whether this an example of homogeneous or heterogeneous ca
Ulleksa [173]

Explanation:

The metal probably helps to speed up the reaction rate a/c to collision theory, reactant molecules must collide with a reasonable direction by either weakening bonds in reactant molecules to make them extra reactive or by attaching reactant molecules in the exact direction to react.

This is known as an example of heterogeneous catalysis because the catalyst is solid and the reactants are liquid or gases mixture. In this catalysis, the catalyst is present in a different phase compare to the reactants.

Calculate the molarity of 32.9 g32.9 g of MgS MgS in 971 mL 971 mL of solution.
Doss [256]

Answer:

0.60 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of MgS = 32.9 g

Volume of solution = 971 mL (0.971 L)

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of MgS:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 32.9 g/ 56.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.58 mol

Molarity of solution:

M = 0.58 mol/ 0.971L

M = 0.60 M

Number of H in 3(NH4)2Cro4
zlopas [31]

The number of H atoms in 3(NH₄)₂CrO₄ = 24

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  

Subscripts in the chemical formula indicate the number of atoms

The compound of 3(NH₄)₂CrO₄ ( 3 molecules of (NH₄)₂CrO₄ ) :

Number of H :

\tt 4\times 2(subscript)\times 3(coefficient,number~of~molecules)=24~atoms
