The specific heat of liquid ethyl alcohol is 2.42 j/g C and its density of 0.7893 g/mL. A piece of solid sliver (specific heat 0

.24 J/g C) was heated to
95 C and placed in 25.6 mL of ethyl alcohol that had a temp of 19.27 C. The final temp of alcohol and silver was 23.5 C. How many grams of silver were used?

First off, as any good chemist would tell you, we have to know if this is an isolated system or not, or else there could be energy (namely heat) that could escape the system or matter from evaporation and stuff.

SOLUTION

25.6 (volume) * 0.7893 (density) = mass of the ethyl alcohol 
If it was heated to 19.27 degrees Celsius, this translates to 292.27 Kelvin. The specific heat of liquid ethyl alcohol is 2.42 j/(g*C), which is the same as 2.42 j/(g*K), therefore it has in total 2.42 * 292.27 * 25.6 * 0.7893 Joules of heat.

The silver has x grams, and its specific heat is 0.24 J/g*C = 0.24 J/g*K. If it was heated up to 95 degrees, that means it was heated to 368 degrees Kelvin. Therefore it 368 * 0.24 * x Joules of heat.

If the final temperature was 23.5 degrees Celsius of the entire thing, than the ethyl alcohol had 2.42 * 296.5 * 25.6 * 0.7893 Joules of heat. Getting the difference of the first state and the second state, we get 2.42 * (296.5 - 292.27) * 25.6 * 0.7893 Joules. This was added to the silver, which now has 296.5 * 0.24 * x Joules of heat. Subtracting the first state from the second state we get (296.5-368) * 0.25 * x Joules. The absolute value of this equals 2.42 * (296.5 - 292.27) * 25.6 * 0.7893 Joules. Doing all the math out, 206.84155853 = 17.16x.

Therefore x = 12.05 grams.

There are 12.05 grams of silver.

Forces between similar molecules are said to be
podryga [215]

Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.

Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 250 mL at .8 atm of pressure. What volume will it occupy at 1.2 atm of pressure?
musickatia [10]
167 mL

P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = .8 atm
V1 = 250 mL
P2 = 1.2 atm

Solve for V2 —> V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (0.8 atm)(250 mL) / (1.2 atm) = 167 mL
