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.

Which one of the following statements BEST describes a chemical reaction?
Natalija [7]

Answer: The correct statement is (A new substance is formed and the process can usually NOT be undone.)

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is simply defined as the reaction between two or more elements in which a new substance is formed and the process can usually not be undone. Different types of chemical reaction includes:

-- combination reaction: this occurs when two or more reactants form a product. For example: In the burning of coal, It combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Also in the burning of wood, carbon dioxide is given off and ashes are formed. Because new substance is being formed, they often can't be undone. The ashes formed can't be changed back into wood. Other types of chemical reaction are listed below.

-- Decomposition reaction

-- Single displacement reaction

-- Double displacement reaction

-- combustion reaction

-- Redox reaction

For the product of a chemical reaction to be undone (reversed), it has to undergo another chemical process different from the one that produced it.

Copper chloride bihydrate. What might this name tell you about the atoms in this compound
lozanna [386]

Answer : The atoms in this compound are Copper(Cu), Chlorine(Cl), Hydrogen(H), Oxygen(O).

Explanation :

The given compound is copper chloride bi-hydrate which is also called as copper (II) chloride dihydrate as it contains two water of crystallisation.

The formula of copper chloride bi-hydrate is CuCl_2.2H_2O.

Therefore, there are 4 atoms in this compound and they are Copper(Cu), Chlorine(Cl), Hydrogen(H) and Oxygen(O).
