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>

Gwar [14]

Answer:

1 - Weak electrolyte

2- Non electrolyte

3- Weak electrolyte

4- Strong electrolyte

Explanation:

A strong electrolyte refers to an electrolyte that decomposes completely in solution. This means that there are more charge carriers in solution when a strong electrolyte is dissolved in water. A strong electrolyte produces a strong glow. LiOH is a strong electrolyte.

A weak electrolyte is not completely dissociated in water. Only a small amount dissociates in water. HF is a weak electrolyte. A weak electrolyte does not produce a bright light.

A non-electrolyte does not dissociate in solution at all hence it does not power a bulb E.g  C12H22O11.

What is the total mass in grams of 0. 75 mole of so2.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

48.075g(or 48g in correct sig figs)***

Explanation:

\frac{0.75mol}{1} *\frac{64.1g}{1 mol}=48.075g

*64.1g is the mass of SO2 which is calculated by simply taking the mass of sulfur and oxygen(but doubling it since there are two oxygens) and adding them together(32.1+2x16.0)

**btw the mol units cancel because of dimensional analysis in case anyone was wondering why

***if your teacher is like mine and specifically wants your answer in correct sig figs, use the answer in parentheses as the original problem only has 2 sig figs

A 3.00-L flask is filled with gaseous ammonia, NH3. The gas pressure measured at 27.0 ∘C is 2.55 atm . Assuming ideal gas behavi
Whitepunk [10]

Answer : The mass of ammonia present in the flask in three significant figures are, 5.28 grams.

Solution :

Using ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}\times RT

where,

n = number of moles of gas

w = mass of ammonia gas  = ?

P = pressure of the ammonia gas = 2.55 atm

T = temperature of the ammonia gas = 27^oC=273+27=300K

M = molar mass of ammonia gas = 17 g/mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

V = volume of ammonia gas = 3.00 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the mass of ammonia gas.

(2.55atm)\times (3.00L)=\frac{w}{17g/mole}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (300K)

w=5.28g

Therefore, the mass of ammonia present in the flask in three significant figures are, 5.28 grams.
