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 reaction is exothermic when Group of answer choices weak bonds break and strong bonds form. strong bonds break and weak bonds
Leona [35]

Answer:

weak bonds break and strong bonds form

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat energy is evolved during the reaction process.

Bond formation requires energy while bond breakage releases energy. More energy is needed for the formation of weak bonds as compared to strong bonds.

<em>Hence, when weak bonds break, they release more energy than needed to make a corresponding strong bond leading to the release of the remaining energy as heat.</em>
