179.1 g of water is in a Styrofoam calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. The initial T of the water is 16.1oC. After 306.9 g

of an unknown compound at 94.3oC is added, the equilibrium T is 27.4oC.
What is the specific heat of the unknown compound in J/(goC)?

Answer:

the specific heat of the unknown compound is c_u=0.412J/g \cdot C

Explanation:

Generally the change in temperature of water is evaluated as

                \Delta T = T_2 -T_1

Substituting 16.1°C for T_1 and 27.4°C for T_2

                \Delta T = 27.4 - 16.1

                       =11.3^oC

Generally the change in temperature of  unknown compound is evaluated as

                  \Delta T_u = T_3 -T_2

Substituting 27.4°C for T_2 and 94.3°C for T_3

                                    \Delta T = 94.3 - 27.4

                                           =66.9^oC

Since there is an increase in temperature then heat is gained by water and this can be evaluated as

               H_w = mc_w \Delta T

Substituting 179.1 g  for m , 4.18 J/g.C for c_w(specific heat of water)

             H_w = 4.18 * 179.1 * 11.3

                   = 8459.6J

Since there is a decrease in temperature then heat is lost by unknown compound and this can be evaluated as

                    H_u = m_uc_u \Delta T_u

By conservation of energy law

       Heat lost  = Heat gained  

Substituting 306.9 g  for m_u , 8459.6J for H_u

           8459.6 = 306.9 * c_u * 66.9

  Therefore     c_u = \frac{8459.6}{308.9 *66.9}

                           =0.412J/g \cdot C

Explain how creativity can play a role in the construction of scientific questions and hypotheses.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Scientific questions and hypotheses come up frequently while one is engaged in investigating a scientific phenomenon such  as natural geological phenomena as may occur in geological mapping in the field. For example, there may be a question does this canyon or deeply incised valley which is quite straight follow a weakness in the earth's crust like a major fault or the direction of bedding in well bedded sedimentary rocks. In a particular topographic area, some hypotheses which may be developed is that valleys follow geological structure whereas ridges follow resistant rocks like quartzites or quartz sandstones or in the ocean, points or capes may represent resistant quartz sandstones and bays may represent weak soft shales recessively weathering
