A 36.0−g sample of an unknown metal at 99°C was placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 70.0 g of water at 24.0°C.

The final temperature of the system was found to be 28.4°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. (The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 12.4 J/°C.)

Answer: 0.52849 j /g °C

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of metal = 36g

Δ Temperature of metal = (28.4 - 99)°C = - 70.6°C

Mass of water = 70g

Δ in temperature of water = (28.4 - 24.0) = 4.4°C

Heat lost by metal = (heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter)

Quantity of heat(q) = mcΔT

Where; m = mass of object ; c = specific heat capacity of object

Heat lost by metal:

- (36 × c × - 70.6) = 2541.6c - - - - (1)

Heta gained by water and calorimeter :

(70 × 4.184 × 4.4) + (12.4 × 4.4) = 1288.672 + 54.56 = 1343.232 - - - - (2)

Equating (1) and (2)

2541.6c = 1343.232

c = 1343.232 / 2541.6

c = 0.52849 j /g °C

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.
