A 2.50 g sample of zinc is heated, and then placed in a calorimeter containing 65.0 g of water. Temperature of water increases f

rom 20.00 oC to 22.50 oC. The specific heat of zinc is 0.390 J/g oC. Assuming no heat loss, what was the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample?

718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of zinc sample = 2.50 grams

mass of water  = 65 grams

initial temperature of water = 20 degrees

final temperature of water = 22.5 degrees

ΔT  = change in temperature of water is 2.50 degrees

specific heat capacity of zinc cp= 0.390 J/g°C

initial temperature of zinc sample = ?

cp of water = 4.186 J/g°C

heat absorbed = heat released (no heat loss)

formula used is

q = mcΔT

q water = 65 x 4.286 x 2.5

q water = 696.15 J

q zinc = 2.50 x 0.390 x (22.50- Ti)

equating the two equations

696.15 = - 22.50+ Ti

Ti = 718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of zinc.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Natural gas combustion equation:

CH4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O + HEAT

Octane or oil combustion equation:

2C8H18 + 25 O2 ===> 16CO2 + 18 H2O.

If these fuels were replaced by self-sustaining energy sources, the contamination of the environment would be less, since their combustion generates toxic compounds that damage the ozone layer, promoting the greenhouse effect, increasing the Earth's temperature and also promoting the increase in the passage of ultraviolet radiation.

Explanation:

The combustion reactions are exothermic, and irreversible, they can be complete and incomplete combustions.

They always consist of oxygen as a reagent and water and carbon dioxide as a product (complete), in the case of the incomplete the difference is that the products vary and there may be waste or chemical compounds that failed to burn.
