Answer:

THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF THE METAL IS 0.8983 J/g °C

Explanation:

In solving the problem, we have to understand that:

Heat lost by the metal = Heat gained by the water in the bomb calorimeter

First is to calculate the heat evolved from the reaction

Heat = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

Mass of water = 50 g

specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g °C

Change in temperature = 23 - 21 = 2 °C

So therefore,

Heat = 50 * 4.184 * 2

Heat = 418.4 J

Next is to solve for the specific heat of the metal;

Heat lost by the metal is the same as the heat gained by water

Heat = mass * specific heat of  metal * change in temperature

Change in temperature = 39.4 °C - 23 °C = 16.4 °C

418.4 = 28.4 * C * 16.4

C = 418.4 / 28.4 * 16.4

C = 418.4 / 465.76

C = 0.8983 J/ g °C

The specific heat of the metal is hence 0.8983 J/g °C

A 58.5 g sample of glass is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0 g of water. The glass sample starts
Ket [755]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of glass is 0.70J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat lost by glass = heat gained by water

Heat lost by glass = mass × specific heat capacity (c) × (final temperature - initial temperature) = 58.5×c×(91.2 - 21.7) = 4065.75c

Heat gained by water = mass × specific heat capacity × (final temperature - initial temperature) = 250×4.2×(21.7 - 19) = 2835

4065.75c = 2835

c = 2835/4065.75 = 0.70J/g°C

Copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm3. If 75.0 g of copper is added to 50.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume rea
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    Final volume = 58.37 ml

Explanation:

Data

density = 8.96 g/cm³

mass = 75 g

volume of water = 50 ml

Process

1.- Calculate the volume of copper

  Density = mass / volume

Solve for volume

  Volume = mass / density

Substitution

  Volume = 75/8.96

Simplification

  Volume = 8.37cm³    or 8.37 cm³

2.- Calculate the new volume of water in the graduated cylinder

  Final volume = 50 + 8.37

  Final volume = 58.37 ml
