From the reaction above, the rate is given by the following formula:
r = -(1/2) dA / dt = - dB / dt = (1/3) dC/ dt
Note that A and B charge is negative due to they decrease with time
given dA / dt = -0.110 M/s
hence dB / dt = -0.110 / 2 = -0.055 M/s
dC / dt = (-3/2) (-0.110) = 0.165 M/s
The heat released by the substance in the calorimeter is equal to the heat absorbed by water which results to the decrease and increase in temperature, respectively.
We use m Cp ΔT to balance the heat involved
(m Cp ΔT) subs in calorimeter = <span>(m Cp ΔT) water
</span>125 g * Cp * (97.0-23.5 ) C = 250 g *(4.18 J/C g)* (23.5-20)
Cp = 0.398 J/Cg
Answer is B
It is a trial aimed to reduce bias during an experiment. An example would be a sugar pill, something that has no real effect so that the results of the true trial can accurately be compared. Its like a control group.
