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.

What is nuclear fusion what role does it play in the sun
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion is when two atomic nuclei combine and form one nucleus. Nuclear fusion generates all of the Sun's energy. Inward pulling by the Sun's gravity is counteracted by outward pushing by the Sun's nuclear fusion; this balance keeps the sun from collapsing or exploding.

An electron in the n = 3 energy level of the hydrogen atom emits a photon with wavelength 656.27 nm. What is the change in energ
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:change in energy of the electron=3.052x 10^-19J

which energy level does it move= level 2 , n=2

Explanation:

Using the formulae

1/λ = R (1/n1²- 1/n2²)

Where λ= 656.27 nm

1 nm = 1 x 10^-9 m

656.27 nm = 656.27 x 1 x 10^-9 =6.5726 x 10^-7

R =Rydberg constant = 1.0967 x 10^7m-1

1/λ = R (1/n1²- 1/n2²)

1/6.5726 x 10^-7=1.0967 x 10^7(1/n1²- 1/3²)

1/n1²=(1/6.5726 x 10^-7 x   1/1.0967 x 10^7) + 1/9

1/n1²=1,521,467.9 x 9.118x10^-8 + 0.1111

1/n1² =0.2498

n1²= 1/0.2498 =4

n1= \sqrt{4} = 2

it moves to energy level 2

b) Change in energy =ΔE = Rhc (1/n1²- 1/n2²)

Where R==Rydberg constant = 1.0967 x 10^7m-1

h = Planck constant = 6.626x 10^-34js

c = speed of light = 3.0 x 10^8 x m/s

ΔE = Rhc (1/n1²- 1/n2²)

=1.0967 x 10^7m-1 x6.626x 10^-34js X 3.0 x 10^8 x m/s (1/2² - 1/3²)

=2.18 x 10-18 x ( 1 /4 - 1/9)

=3.052x 10^-19J
