The chemical reaction of Cavendish involving zinc would be a reaction between hydrochloric acid and zinc yielding zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation would be:

2Zn + 2HCl = 2ZnCl + H2

This is an example of a single replacement reaction where zinc replaces hydrogen in the acid molecule.

179.1 g of water is in a Styrofoam calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. The initial T of the water is 16.1oC. After 306.9 g
taurus [48]

Answer:

the specific heat of the unknown compound is c_u=0.412J/g \cdot C

Explanation:

Generally the change in temperature of water is evaluated as

                \Delta T = T_2 -T_1

Substituting 16.1°C for T_1 and 27.4°C for T_2

                \Delta T = 27.4 - 16.1

                       =11.3^oC

Generally the change in temperature of  unknown compound is evaluated as

                  \Delta T_u = T_3 -T_2

Substituting 27.4°C for T_2 and 94.3°C for T_3

                                    \Delta T = 94.3 - 27.4

                                           =66.9^oC

Since there is an increase in temperature then heat is gained by water and this can be evaluated as

               H_w = mc_w \Delta T

Substituting 179.1 g  for m , 4.18 J/g.C for c_w(specific heat of water)

             H_w = 4.18 * 179.1 * 11.3

                   = 8459.6J

Since there is a decrease in temperature then heat is lost by unknown compound and this can be evaluated as

                    H_u = m_uc_u \Delta T_u

By conservation of energy law

       Heat lost  = Heat gained  

Substituting 306.9 g  for m_u , 8459.6J for H_u

           8459.6 = 306.9 * c_u * 66.9

  Therefore     c_u = \frac{8459.6}{308.9 *66.9}

                           =0.412J/g \cdot C

A sample of the mineral hematite Iron (III) oxide has a mass of 12.4g. How many moles of the mineral are present?
8090 [49]

Thus problem is providing us with the mass of iron (III) oxide as 12.4 g so the moles are required and found to be 0.0776 mol after the calculations:

<h3>Mole-mass relationships:</h3>

In chemistry, we use mole-mass relationships in order to calculate grams from moles and vice versa. In this case, since we are given the mass of iron (III) oxide as 12.4 g one can calculate the moles by firstly quantifying its molar mass:

Fe_2O_3\rightarrow 2*55.85 g/mol+3*16.00 g/mol=159.7g/mol

Then, we prepare a conversion factor in order to cancel out the grams and thus, get moles:

12.4gFe_2O_3*\frac{1molFe_2O_3}{159.7gFe_2O_3} \\\\=0.0776molFe_2O_3

How much energy is required to change the temperature of 35.0 g of Lead
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Q = 270 Joules (2 sig. figs. as based on temperature change.)

Explanation:

Heat Transfer Equation of pure condensed phase substance => Q = mcΔT

Mixed phase (s ⇄ l melting/freezing, or l ⇄ g boiling/condensation) heat transfer equation => Q = m∙ΔHₓ; ΔHₓ = phase transition constant

Since this is a pure condensed phase (or, single phase) form of lead (Pb°(s)) and not melting/freezing or boiling/condensation, one should use

Q = m·c·ΔT

m = mass of lead = 35.0g

c = specific heat of lead = 0.16J/g°C

ΔT = Temp change = 74°C - 25°C = 49°C

Q = (35.0g)(0.16J/g·°C )(49°C) = 274.4 Joules ≅ 270 Joules (2 sig. figs. as based on temperature change.)
