<h3>Answer:</h3>

Initial temperature is 243.59°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying the mass of a substance by its specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

That is; Q = m×c×ΔT

In this case;

Quantity of heat = 560 J

Mass of the Sample of Zinc = 10 g

Final temperature = 100°C

We are required to determine the initial temperature;

This can be done by replacing the known variables in the formula of finding quantity of heat,

Specific heat capacity, c, of Zinc = 0.39 J/g.°C

Therefore,

560 J = 10 g × 0.39 J/g°C × ΔT

ΔT = 560 J ÷ (3.9 J/°C)

   = 143.59°C

But, since the sample of Zinc lost heat then the temperature change will have a negative value.

ΔT = -143.59°C

Then,

ΔT  = T(final) - T(initial)

Therefore,

T(initial) = T(final) - ΔT

              = 100°C - (-143.59°C)

              = 243.59°C

Hence, the initial temperature of zinc sample is 243.59°C

Silicon carbide, SiC, is commonly known as carborundum. This hard substance, which is used commercially as an abrasive, is made
mrs_skeptik [129]

Mass of SiC = 2 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

SiO₂(s) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)

3.00 g of SiO₂

4.50 g of C

Required

mass of SiC

Solution

mol SiO₂ (MW=60,08 g/mol) :

= 3 g : 60.08 g/mol

= 0.0499

mol C(Ar = 12 g/mol) :

= 4.5 g : 12 g/mol

= 0.375

mol : coefficient of reactants =

SiO₂ : 0.0499/1 = 0.0499

C : 0.375/3 = 0.125

SiO₂ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

Mol SiC based on mol SiO₂ = 0.0499

Mass SiC :

= mol x MW

= 0.0499 x 40,11 g/mol

= 2 g

Which radioisotope is used in dating geological formations?i-131u-238ca-37fr-220?
Nostrana [21]
The radioisotope U-238 is primarily used in dating geologic formation. This method is used for dating sediments from either a marine or playa lake environment. Because this method is used for the period between 100,000 years and 1,200,000 years before the present, it aids in bridging the gap between the carbon-14 dating method and the potassium-argon dating method.

Mg(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Mg(NO3)2 + 2H20
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

A. 1350

You multiply 18.21HNO3* 1mol MgN2O6 * 148.30MgN2O6

Then divide it by the 2mol HNO3 to get 1350
