n unknown metal is either aluminum, iron or lead. If 150. g of this metal at 150.0 °C was placed in a calorimeter that contains

200. g of water at 25.0 °C and the final temperature was found to be 34.3 °C after thermal equilibrium was achieved, assuming heat was only transferred between water and metal, what is the identity of this metal? Some specific heat values of metals and water given below may be useful. Specific heats, J/(g•°C): Fe (0.449) Pb (0.128) Al (0.903) H2O (4.184)

Answer : The metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of unknown metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of unknown metal = 150 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature of water = 34.3^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of unknown metal = 150.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

150g\times c_1\times (34.3-150.0)^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (34.3-25.0)^oC

c_1=0.449J/g^oC

Form the value of specific heat of unknown metal, we conclude that the metal used in this was iron (Fe).

Therefore, the metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).

<h3>The average atomic mass of Iodine : 126.86 amu</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

80% 127I, 17% 126I, and 3% 128I.

Required

The average atomic mass

Solution

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ... mass isotope n.%

Atomic mass of Iodine = 0.8 x 127 + 0.17 x 126 + 0.03 x 128

Atomic mass of Iodine = 101.6 + 21.42 + 3.84

Atomic mass of Iodine = 126.86 amu

The study of Mixture
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A mixture in which its constituents are distributed uniformly is called homogeneous mixture, such as salt in water. A mixture in which its constituents are not distributed uniformly is called heterogeneous mixture, such as sand in water.

How many grams of aspartame (C14H18N2O5), also known as Nutrasweet, contain 1.98×1021molecules of aspartame?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

0.97 grams

Explanation:

number of molecules=no of moles × Avogadros number

so

number of moles=nu.of molecules ÷ 6.02×10power23 = 1.98×10power21 ÷ 6.02×10p23=0.0033 mol

mass=nu.of moles× molar mass

molar mass of aspartame=

(14×12)+18+(2× 14.0067n)+(5×16)=294.0134 u

mass = 0.0033 ×294.0134 =0.97 gram
