Answer: c = 0.39 cal/g°C or

1.63 J/g°C

Explanation: To find the specific heat of the metal we will use the formula of heat which is Q= mc∆T.

We will derive for c, c = Q / m∆T

25.0 cal/ 4.0 g ( 36°C - 20°C)

= 0.39 cal / g°C

Or we can convert calories to joules.

0.39 cal x 4.184 J/ 1 cal

= 1.63 J /g°C

Calculate ΔH for the reaction: C(graphite) + 2H 2(g) + 1/2 O 2(g) => CH 3OH(l) Using the following information: C(graphite) +
Alika [10]

Answer:

\Delta H for the given reaction is -238.7 kJ

Explanation:

The given reaction can be written as summation of three elementary steps such as:

C(graphite)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) \Delta H_{1}= -393.5 kJ

2H_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2H_{2}O(l) \Delta H_{2}= (2\times -285.8)kJ

CO_{2}(g)+2H_{2}O(l)\rightarrow CH_{3}OH(l)+\frac{3}{2}O_{2}(g)  \Delta H_{3}= 726.4 kJ

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C(graphite)+2H_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CH_{3}OH(l)

\Delta H=\Delta H_{1}+\Delta H_{2}+\Delta H_{3}=-238.7 kJ

The valence electrons of a krypton (Kr) atom in the ground state are located in the
Korvikt [17]

I dont know the answer but i have some explanation for that question.

Since krypton is in the far right row of the periodic table, its outermost shell is full with eight electrons. This is one of the happy elements and has an electron configuration of 2-8-18-8.

Explain why the benzene molecule usually reacts with electrophiles<br>​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Explanation:Because of the delocalised electrons exposed above and below the plane of the rest of the molecule, benzene is obviously going to be highly attractive to electrophiles - species which seek after electron rich areas in other molecules.

The rate constant k for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Ea=5.5 Kcal/mole

Explanation:

Let rate constant are K_1  and K_2  at temperature T_1  and T_2

By using Arrhenius equation at two different two different temperature,

Log K_1/K_2 =E_a/2.303R*(1/T_2 -1/T_2 );T_1=273+376=649K  ;K_1=4.8*10^8;T_2=273+280=553K  ;K_2=2.3*10^8;R=2 cal/(mole.K);Log (4.8*10^8)/(2.3*10^8 )=E_a/2.303R*(1/553K-1/649); Log 4.8/2.3=E_a/2.303R*96/358897 ;0.32=E_a/2.303R*96/358897;E_a=(0.32*2.303R*358897)/96;  

By putting value of R=2 cal/mole.K

E_a=5510.265cal/mole;

By rounding off upto 2 significant figure;

E_a=5.5Kcal/mole;
