A cubic piece of platinum metal (specific heat capacity = 0.1256 J/°C・g) at 200.0°C is dropped into 1.00 L of deuterium oxide ('

heavy water,' specific heat capacity = 4.211 J/°C・g) at 25.5°C. The final temperature of the platinum and deuterium oxide mixture is 41.9°C. The density of platinum is 21.45 g/cm³ and the density of deuterium oxide is 1.11 g/mL. What is the edge length of the cube of platinum, in centimeters?

Answer:

a=5.65cm

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for this heat transfer process in which the heat lost by the hot platinum is gained by the cold deuterium oxide based on the equation:

Q_{Pt}=-Q_{Deu}

We can represent the heats in terms of mass, heat capacities and temperatures:

m_{Pt}Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})=-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})

Thus, we solve for the mass of platinum:

m_{Pt}=\frac{-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})}{Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})} \\\\m_{Pt}=\frac{-1.00L*1110g/L*4.211J/(g\°C)*(41.9-25.5)\°C}{0.1256J/(g\°C)*(41.9-200.0)\°C} \\\\m_{Pt}=3860.4g

Next, by using the density of platinum we compute the volume:

V_{Pt}=\frac{3860.4g}{21.45g/cm^3}\\ \\V_{Pt}=180cm^3

Which computed in terms of the edge length is:

V=a^3

Therefore, the edge length turns out:

a=\sqrt[3]{180cm^3}\\ \\a=5.65cm

Best regards.

There are 100.0 grams of each reactant available determine the limiting reactant in this equation
Romashka [77]
Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.

1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:

- the balanced chemical equation

- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation

2) The work is:

- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.


- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:

number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)

- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)


- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.

3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:

i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O

ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂

iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles

n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂

v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles: 

n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol

vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

vii) Compare the two ratios:

2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.

Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.

In this experiment you will create solutions with different ratios of ethanol and water. What is the mole fraction of ethanol wh
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.6. A 10 mL volumetric pipette must be used for to measure the 10 mL of ethanol. The vessel should be clean and purged.

Explanation:

For calculating mole fraction of ethanol, the amount of moles ethanol must be calculated. Using ethanol density (0.778 g/mL), 10 mL of ethanol equals to 7.89 g of ethanol and in turn 0.17 moles of ethanol. The same way for calculate the amount of water moles (ethanol density=0.997 g/mL). 2 mL of water correspond to 0.11. The total moles are: 0.17+0.11=0.28. Mole fraction alcohol is: 0.17/0.28=0.6
