Answer:

The mass of the given gold bar:<u> m = 1.8 × 10² g</u>

Explanation:

The Specific heat capacity (c) of a given substance is defined as the heat capacity (C) per unit mass (m) or the energy required (Q) to increase the temperature (ΔT) of the given substance per unit mass.

∴ <u>The specific heat capacity</u>: c = \frac{C}{m} =\frac{Q}{m\times \Delta T}

Given: The specific heat capacity of gold (Au) = 0.128 J/g°C

The increase in temperature: ΔT = 34.7°C - 30.0°C = 4.7°C

Heat energy: Q = 0.108 kJ = 0.108 × 1000 J = 108 J    (∵ 1 kJ = 1000J)

Mass of the given gold bar: m = ?

<u>Therefore, the mass of the given gold bar</u>:

m = \frac{Q}{c\times \Delta T}

m = \frac{108 J}{(0.128 J/g.^{\circ }C)\times (4.7 ^{\circ }C)}

m = 179.5 g = 1.795\times 10^{2} g

\therefore m \approx 1.8 \times 10^{2} g

<u>Therefore, the mass of the given gold bar: m = 1.8 × 10² g</u>

What does the rate law tell you about a reaction?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

A. How the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction

Explanation:

Let's consider a generic reaction.

A + B ⇒ Products

The generic rate law is:

rate  = k × [A]ᵃ × [B]ᵇ

where,

  • rate: rate of the reaction
  • [A] and [B]: molar concentrations of the reactants
  • k: rate constant
  • a and b: reaction orders

As we can see, the rate law shows how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction.

6.5 Moles of Al reacts with 7.2 Moles of H2O What is the limiting reactant and calculate the Theoretical Yield?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

H₂O is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂

Explanation:

Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.

6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O

We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al.  But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O.  Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.

Now find the theoretical yield:

7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃

7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂

Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.

A student has 100. mL of 0.400 M CuSO4 (aq) and is asked to make 100. mL of 0.150 M CuSO4 (aq) for a spectrophotometry experimen
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

We have to take 37.5 mL of a 0.400 M solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Stock volume = 100 mL  = 0.100L

Stock concentration 0.400 M

Volume of solution he wants to make = 100 mL = 0.100L

Concentration of solution he wants to make = 0.150 M

Step 2: Calculate the volume of 0.400 M CuSO4 needed

C1*V1 = C2*V2

⇒with C1 = the stock concentration = 0.400M

⇒with V1 = the volume of the stock = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with C2 = the concentration of the solution he wants to make = 0.150 M

⇒with V2 = the volume of the solution made = 0.100 L

0.400 M * V1 = 0.150M * 0.100L

V1 = (0.150M*0.100L) / 0.400 M

V1 = 0.0375 L = 37.5 mL

We have to take 37.5 mL of a 0.400 M solution
