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

A student prepares a 0.47mM aqueous solution of acetic acid CH3CO2H. Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissoc
Aliun [14]

The fraction of acetic acid that is dissociated is 0.18

Why?

The chemical equation for the dissociation of acetic acid (HAc) is the following:

HAc(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + Ac⁻(aq)

To find the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form (f), we apply the following equation (Ka for acetic acid is 1.76*10⁻⁵). This equation comes from solving the equation of the equilibrium constant for the dissociated fraction of HAc:

f=\frac{-Ka+\sqrt{Ka^{2} +4KaC} }{2C} = 0.18

Have a nice day!

A scientist discovered a microscopic unicellular organism with no nucleus which of the following correctly describes the organis
boyakko [2]
The correct option is this: THE ORGANISM IS A PROKARYOTES.
There are basically two types of cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells are primitive cells which contain only a few materials which are not well organised. This type of cells is usually found in microscopic organisms. The cells lack organised nucleus and cell organelles which have membranes.<span />
