A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in

thermal contact. The specific heat of aluminum is more than double that of copper. Which object experiences the greater temperature change during the time the system takes to reach thermal equilibrium?

Answer:

  • <u>Copper</u><em> is the object that experiences the greater temperature change.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Thermally isolated system </em>means that the system does not exchange thermal energy with the surroundings.

Hence, any thermal exchange, in virtue of the temperature difference of the aluminum and copper pieces, is between them.

In consequence, the law of conservation of energy states that the heat lost by the hot substance will be gained by the cold matter.

In equations, that is:

  • Heat lost by aluminum = heat gained by copper.

Now, the gain or loss or heat of a substance, Q, is related with the mass (m), the specific heat (Cs), and the cahnge of temperature (ΔT), per the equation:

  • Q = m × Cs × ΔT

∴ Q lost by aluminum = Q  gained copper ⇒

  • [m × Cs × ΔT ] aluminum = [m × Cs × ΔT ] copper.

Under the reasoning assumption that the masses of aluminum and copper are equal, the equations is simplified to:

  • [Cs × ΔT ] aluminum = [Cs × ΔT ] copper.

  • Cs aluminum / Cs copper = ΔT copper / ΔT aluminum

  • Cs aluminum > 2 × Cs copper  ⇒ Cs

  • Cs aluminum / Cs copper > 2 ΔT copper / ΔT aluminum

  • ΔT copper / ΔT aluminum > 2

  • ΔT copper > 2 × ΔT aluminum

In words, since it is stated that  the specific heat of aluminum is more than double that of copper,  in order to keep the equality, ΔT of copper shall be more than double ΔT of aluminum.

Hence, the <u>conclusion</u> is that the object that experiences the greater temperature change is copper (the one with the lower specific heat), under the assumption that both objects have the same amount of matter (mass).

The diagrams below represent the four states of matter.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: Diagram 4

Explanation: Diagram 1 represents a state in which particles are closely packed , thus cannot be a representation of gas.

Diagram 2 represents  a state in which particles are loosely packed , thus can be a representation of gas.

Diagram 3 represents  a state in which particles are closely packed , thus can be a representation of a solid.

Diagram 4 represents  a state in which particles are loosely packed , thus can be a representation of gas. It also represents the particles in ionized form. Particles are existing as ions bearing positive and negative charges.

How many moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of feo
Amanda [17]

Answer:

0.8 mol.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation for the reaction between Al and FeO is represented as:

<em>2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃,</em>

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of FeO to produce 3 mol of Fe and 1 mol of Al₂O₃.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

2 mol of Al needs → 3 mol of FeO, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Al needs → 1.2 mol of FeO.

∴<em> The no. of moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of FeO </em>= (2 mol)(1.2 mol)/(3 mol) = <em>0.8 mol.</em>
