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.

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation: Al(s) | Al3+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c.  It's an electrolytic cell, because it's a nonspontaneous reaction.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

Explanation:

a. By the notation given, first is represented the oxidation reaction and then the reduction reaction, so they are:

Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. The standard potential of the cell (ΔE°) is the reduction potential of the oxidation less the reduction potential of the reduction. The reduction potentials are:

Al(s) = -1.66 V

Mg(s) = -2.375 V

ΔE° = -1.66 - (-2.375)

ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell.

A galvanic cell is spontaneous, so the cathode (reduction) has a higher E° than the cathode (oxidation). In this case, the oxidation reaction has a higher E°, so the reaction is nonspontaneous and it's necessary an external force to it happen, so it's an electrolytic cell.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

The number of electrons must be the same, so the oxidation reaction is multiplied by 2, and the reduction reaction by 3.

sample of atmospheric gas collected at an industrial site is stored in a 250 mL amber glass bottle that has a pressure of 1.02 a
Nady [450]

Answer:- New pressure is 0.942 atm.

Solution:- The volume of the glass bottle would remain constant here and the pressure will change with the temperature.

Pressure is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. The equation used here is:

P_1T_2=P_2T_1

Where, T_1 and T_2 are initial and final temperatures, P_1 and P_2 are initial and final pressures.

T_1 = 20.3 + 273.15 = 293.45 K

T_2 = -2.0 + 273.15 = 271.15 K

P_1 = 1.02 atm

T_2  = ?

Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for final pressure.

1.02atm(271.15K)=P_2(293.45K)

P_2=\frac{1.02atm*271.15K}{293.45K}

P_2 = 0.942 atm

So, the new pressure of the jar is 0.942 atm.

Is potassium fluoride a covalent bond or ionic bond
Ivahew [28]

It's an ionic bond! Potassium is a cation, or a metal with a positive charge, and fluoride is an anion, or a nonmetal with a negative charge.

A covalent bond is the bond between two nonmetals.

Hope this helped!
