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>

Answer:

T₁ = P₁V₁T₂ / P₂V₂

Explanation:

The combine gas equation is given by:

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

Where:

P₁ => is the initial pressure

V₁ => is the initial volume

T₁ => is the initial temperature

P₂ => is the final pressure

V₂ => is the final volume

T₂ => is the final temperature

Finally, we shall make T₁ the subject of the above expression. This can be obtained as follow:

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

Cross multiply

T₁P₂V₂ = P₁V₁T₂

Divide both side by P₂V₂

T₁ = P₁V₁T₂ / P₂V₂

Thus, the formula for T₁ is:

T₁ = P₁V₁T₂ / P₂V₂

How to balance an ionic equation BaCl2 + 2NH4CH3COO
Lorico [155]
Assuming that the reaction proceeds, the reaction would be a double displacement reaction. BaCl2 + 2NH4CH3COO -> Ba(CH3COO)2 + 2NH4Cl If the reaction occurs in an aqueous solution, the products are soluble in water, so the reaction is probably not that interesting to look at.

Explain why beryllium looses electrons while ionic bonds,while Sulfur gains electrons.
balandron [24]

Answer:

Since Beryllium has a larger atomic radius than Sulphur its electrons are not strongly attracted to the nucleus hence lost easily. But Sulphur has a small atomic radius hence electrons are more closely attracted to the nucleus.
