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>

On the basis of the Ksp values below, what is the order of the solubility from least soluble to most soluble for these compounds
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

Explanation:

The solubility constant give us the molar solubilty of ionic compounds. In general for a compound AB the ksp will be given by:

Ksp = (A) (B) where A and B are the molar solubilities = s²  (for compounds with 1:1  ratio).

It follows then  that the higher the value of Ksp the greater solubilty of the compound if we are comparing compounds with the same ionic ratios:

Comparing AgBr: Ksp = 5.4 x 10⁻¹³ with AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰, AgCl will be more soluble.

Comparing Ag2CO3: Ksp = 8.0 x 10⁻¹²  with AgCl Ksp = AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ we have the complication of  the ratio of ions 2:1 in Ag2CO3,  so the answer is not obvious. But since we know that

Ag2CO3 ⇄ 2 Ag⁺ + CO₃²₋

Ksp Ag2CO3  = 2s x s = 2 s² =  8.0 x 10-12

s = 4 x 10⁻12 ∴ s= 2 x 10⁻⁶

And for AgCl

AgCl  ⇄ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻

Ksp = s² = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰  ∴ s = √ 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰   = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵

Therefore, AgCl is more soluble than Ag₂CO₃

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl
