A 13.5 g sample of gold is heated to 125.0°C, then placed in a calorimeter containing 60.0 g of water. The final temperature of

the water 20.00 o C. The specific heat of gold is 0.130 J/g o C. What was the initial temperature of the water?

The initial temperature was 19.27 °C.

The guiding principle is the <em>Law of Conservation of Energy</em>: the sum of all the energy transfers must add up to zero.

The formula for the heat <em>q</em> gained or lost by a substance is

<em>q = mC</em>Δ<em>T</em>

where

<em>m</em> = the mass of the substance.

<em>C</em> = its specific heat capacity.

Δ<em>T</em> = <em>T</em>_f - <em>T</em>_i = the change in temperature.

In this problem, there are two heat transfers.

Heat lost by gold + heat gained by water = 0

<em>m</em> _1<em>C</em>_1Δ<em>T</em>_1 + <em>m</em>_2<em>c</em>_2Δ<em>T</em>_2= 0

<em>m</em>_1 = 13.5 g; <em>C</em>_1 = 0.130 J·°C^(-1)g^(-1); Δ<em>T</em>_1 = <em>T</em>_f – <em>T</em>_i = 20.00 °C – 125.0 °C = -105.0 °C

<em>m</em>_2 = 60.0 g; <em>C</em>_2 = 4.184 J·°C^(-1)g^(-1); Δ<em>T</em>_2 = ?

<em>q</em>_1 = <em>m</em>_1<em>C</em>_1ΔT_1 = 13.5 g × 0.130 J·°C^(-1)g^(-1) × -105.0 °C = -184.3 J

<em>q</em>_2 = <em>m</em>_2<em>C</em>_2Δ<em>T</em>_2 = 60.0 g × 4.184 J·°C^(-1)g^(-1) × Δ<em>T</em>_2

= 251.0 ΔT_2 J·°C^(-1)

<em>q</em>_1+ <em>q</em>_2 = -184.3 J + 251.0 Δ<em>T</em>_2 J·°C^(-1) = 0

251.0 Δ<em>T</em>_2 °C^(-1) = 184.3

Δ<em>T</em>_2 = 184.3/251.0 °C^(-1) = 0.734°C

Δ<em>T</em>_2 = <em>T</em>_f - <em>T</em>_i = 20.00 °C -<em>T</em>_i = 0.734 °C

<em>T</em>_i = 20.00 °C – 0.734 °C = 19.27 °C

Write Lewis structures for the following molecules: (a) ICl, (b) PH3, (c) P4 (each P is bonded to three other P atoms), (d) H2S,
spin [16.1K]

Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure for the following molecules are shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

Now we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure for the following molecules.

(a) The given molecule is, ICl

As we know that iodine and chlorine have '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in ICl = 7 + 7 = 14

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.

(b) The given molecule is, PH_3

As we know that phosphorous has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in PH_3 = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

(c) The given molecule is, P_4

As we know that phosphorous has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in P_4 = 4(5) = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 14 number of non-bonding electrons.

(d) The given molecule is, H_2S

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in H_2S = 6 + 2(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 4 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(e) The given molecule is, N_2H_4

As we know that nitrogen has '5' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in N_2H_4 = 2(5) + 4(1) = 14

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 10 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.

(f) The given molecule is, HClO_3

As we know that chlorine has '7' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in HClO_3 = 1 + 7 + 3(6) = 26

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 14 number of non-bonding electrons.

(g) The given molecule is, COBr_2

As we know that bromine has '7' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' valence electrons and carbon has '4' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in COBr_2 = 4 + 6 + 2(7) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.

Find the average rate of change in temperature for all 10 days ​
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The answer has to be 62.2

Explanation:

To get the average, you have to add the total of temp. and then divide the number of how many numbers you added. Since it is for 10 days, you have to add the total for the temp. first and then you divide by 10 like this: 622/10. Hope this help you :)
