The temperature of a 95.4 g piece of Cu increases from 25.0 °C to 48.0 °C when the Cu absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specifc

melisa1 [442]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

= 0.3869 J/g°C

= 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C

A lead mass is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 40.0 mL of water at 17.0°C. The water reaches a temperatur

lbvjy [14]

Answer: 502 Joules

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{40.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 40.0mL)=40.0g$

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by lead will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

$q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

q = heat absorbed by water

$m$ = mass of water = 40.0 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = 20.0°C

$T_{initial$ = initial temperature of water = 17.0°C

$c$ = specific heat of water= 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q=40.0\times 4.186\times (20.0-17.0)]$

$q=502J$

Hence, the joules of heat were re-leased by the lead is 502

When metals, non metals,and metallics are composed according to luster, which is best description of the appearance of metalloid

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.
