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.

2. 7.5 g of potassium react with water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Calculate the mass of potassium hydroxid
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

10.7 g of KOH

Explanation:

First of all, we determine the reaction:

2K (s) + 2H₂O(l) → H₂(g) + 2KOH(aq)

We convert the mass of K, to moles → 7.5 g . mol/39.1 g = 0.192 moles

Ratio is 2:2, so the moles I have of K must produce the same moles of KOH. In this case, the produces moles of KOH are 0.192 moles.

We convert the moles to mass, to finish the answer:

0.192 mol . 56.1g /1mol = 10.7 g of KOH

Geologists have a rule of thumb: when molten rock cools and solidifies, crystals of compounds with the smallest lattice energies
lutik1710 [3]

Geologists have a rule of thumb: when molten rock cools and solidifies, crystals of compounds with the smallest lattice energies appear at the bottom of the mass because of high power of solubility.

<h3>What is lattice energy? </h3>

The lattice energy is defined as the energy change upon the formation of one mole of crystalline ionic compound from its same constituent ions, that are assumed to be initially in the state of gases. It is also defined as measure of the cohesive forces which bind ionic solids together.

As the lattice energy of the ionic compound increase the solubility of that particular compound decrease. Hence compound which have low lattice energy are more soluble than compound having high lattice energy. When molten rocks cools and solidified, the compound having smallest lattice energy become more soluble than crystals of compound which have large lattice energy. Therefore, crystal of compound with the smallest lattice energy start appearing at the bottom of the mass.

Thus, we concluded that due to high solubility power of compound with low lattice energy appear at the bottom of the mass.
