42.5 grams of an unknown substance is heated to 105.0 degrees Celsius and then placed into a calorimeter containing 110.0 grams

of water at 24.2 degrees Celsius. If the final temperature reached in the calorimeter is 32.4 degrees Celsius, what is the specific heat of the unknown substance?
Show or explain the work needed to solve this problem, and remember that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(° C × g).

Answer:

The specific heat of the unknown substance is 1.22 J/g.°C.

Explanation:

  • Knowing that:

Heat lost by substance (Qc) = Heat gained by the water (Qw) ,

<em>- (Qc) = (Qw).</em>

<em></em>

  • We can calculate the amount of heat (Qw) gained by water using the relation:

Qw = m.c.ΔT,

where, Qw is the amount of heat released to water (Q = ??? J).

m is the mass of water (m = 110.0 g).

c is the specific heat capacity of solution (c = 4.18 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference in T (ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 32.4°C - 24.2°C = 8.2°C).

<em>∴ Q = m.c.ΔT = </em>(110.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C)(8.2°C) = <em>3770.36 J.</em>

  • Now, the amount of heat lost by the substance <em>(Qc) = - 3770.36 J.</em>

(Qc) = m.c.ΔT,

where, Qc is the amount of heat lost by substance (Qc = - 3770.36 J).

m is the mass of water (m = 42.5 g).

c is the specific heat capacity of solution (c = ??? J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference in T (ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 32.4°C - 105.0°C = -72.6°C).

∴ (- 3770.36 J) = (42.5 g)(c)(-72.6°C).

∴ c = (- 3770.36 J)/(42.5 g)(-72.6°C) = 1.222 J/g.°C.

Just remember how many electrons can each sublevel hold.

S=2
P=6
D=10

Since we have 10 for atomic number, we can assume we have 10 electrons

1S2
2S2
2P6
The rest have zero because we already have 10 (2+2+6=10)

why can you find different features at an oceanic-continental convergent zone than those found at a continental-continental conv
arlik [135]
Continental plates are much thicker that Oceanic plates. At the convergent boundaries the continental plates are pushed upward and gain thickness. The rocks and geological layers are much older on continental plates than in the oceanic plates. The Continental plates are much less dense than the Oceanic plates.

Identify the group of elements that corresponds to each of the following generalized electron configurations and indicate the nu
Alja [10]

Answer:

(a) [Noble gas] ns² np⁵: Number of unpaired electron is 1 and belongs to group 17 i.e. halogen group of the periodic table.

(b) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d²: Number of unpaired electron is 2 and belongs to group 4 of the periodic table.

(c) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d¹⁰ np¹: Number of unpaired electron is 1 and belongs to group 13 of the periodic table.

(d)[noble gas] ns² (n-2)f⁶ : Number of unpaired electron is 6 and belongs to group 8 of the periodic table.

Explanation:

In the Periodic table, the chemical elements are arranged in 7 rows, called periods and 18 columns, called groups. They are organized in increasing order of atomic numbers.

(a) [Noble gas] ns² np⁵

As the total number of electrons in the p-orbital is 5. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 1.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 5 electrons in np orbital. <u>So there are 7 valence electrons.</u>

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 17 i.e. halogen group of the periodic table.

(b) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d²

As the total number of electrons in the d-orbital is 2. Therefore, the number of unpaired electrons is 2.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 2 electrons in (n-1)d orbital. So there are <u>4 valence electrons.</u>

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 4 of the periodic table.

(c) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d¹⁰ np¹

As the total number of electrons in the p-orbital is 1. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 1.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 1 electron in np orbital. So there are <u>3 valence electrons</u>.

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 13 of the periodic table.

(d)[noble gas] ns² (n-2)f⁶

As the total number of electrons in the f-orbital is 6. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 6.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 6 electrons in (n-2)f orbital. So there are <u>8 valence electrons.</u>

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 8 of the periodic table.
