35.5 grams of an unknown substance is heated to 103.0 degrees Celsius and then placed into a calorimeter containing 100.0 grams

of water at 24.0 degrees Celsius. If the final temperature reached in the calorimeter is 29.5 degrees Celsius, what is the specific heat of the unknown substance?

Answer:

Specific heat of the unknown substance is 0.881 J/gC

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of unknown substance, m(s) = 35.5 g

Initial temperature of the substance, T1 = 103 C

Mass of water, m(w) = 100 g

Initial temperature of water, T1 = 24 C

Final temperature of solution, T2 = 29.5 C

<u>Formula:</u>

Heat (q) absorbed or evolved by a substance is given as:

q = mc\Delta T = mc(T_{2}-T_{1})----(1)

where, m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat

ΔT = change in temperature

<u>Calculation:</u>

Heat lost by the unknown substance = heat gained by water

Based on equation (1) we have:

Heat lost by the unknown substance = -m(s)*c(s)*ΔT

= -35.5*c*(29.5-103) = 2609.25c

heat gained by water = -m(w)*c(w)*ΔT=100*4.18*(29.5-24) =2299

Therefore,

2609.25c = 2299

c = 0.881 J/g C

<span>delta t for water = 29.5 - 24.0 = 5.5 C heat gained by water = 4.18 J/gC x 100.0 g x 5.5 C = 2300 J sp ht = J/m dt = 2300 J / (35.5 g x 73.5) = 0.89 J/gC<span>

ycow [4]

Answer:

[CaCl₂] = 1.32 M

Explanation:

We know the volume of solution → 0.30 L

We know the mass of solute → 44 g of CaCl₂

Let's convert the mass of solute to moles.

44 g . 1 mol / 110.98 g = 0.396 moles

Molarity (mol/L) → 0.396 mol / 0.3 L  = 1.32 M

You have 100 mL of a 12M solution of HCl, and you need to dilute it to 1.5M for an experiment. How many liters will your new sol
sashaice [31]

Answer:

800.0 mL.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem; we must mention the rule states the no. of millimoles of a substance before and after dilution is the same.

<em>(MV)before dilution of HCl = (MV)after dilution of HCl</em>

M before dilution = 12.0 M, V before dilution = 100.0 mL.

M after dilution = 1.5 M, V after dilution = ??? mL.

∵ (MV)before dilution of HCl = (MV)after dilution of HCl

∴ (12.0 M)(100.0 mL) = (1.5 M)(V after dilution of HCl)

<em>∴ V after dilution of HCl = (12.0 M)(100.0 mL)/(1`.5 M) = 800.0 mL.</em>
