Answer:

The pH is 11

Explanation:

Because pH + pOH = 14

and pOH = - log [OH⁻] = - log (1 x 10⁻³) = 3

we can now calculate pH by manipulating equation one above

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3 = 11

Thus the pH of the solution is 11

<h3>Answer:</h3>

165.078 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Specific heat capacity of nickel as 0.446 J/g°C
Initial temperature of nickel is 255.5 °C
Mass of water in the calorimeter is 250.0 g
Initial temperature of water is 20° C
Final temperature of the mixture is 35.5°C

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C

We are required to calculate the mass of nickel sample;

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the amount of heat absorbed by water.</h3>

We know that quantity of heat absorbed, Q = m × c × ΔT

Change in temperature, ΔT = 35.5°C - 20°C

= 15.5 °C

Therefore, Q = 250 g × 4.1 J/g°C × 15.5° C

= 16,197.5 Joules

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the amount of heat released by nickel sample</h3>

Assuming the mass of nickel sample is m

Then, Heat released, Q = m × c × ΔT

Change in temperature, ΔT = 255.5 °C - 35.5 ° C

= 220 °C

Q = m × 0.446 J/g°C × 220° C

= 98.12m joules

<h3>Step 3: Determine the mass of nickel sample</h3>

We know that the amount of heat absorbed is equivalent to amount of heat released.

That is, Quantity of heat absorbed = Quantity of heat released

Therefore;

98.12 m joules = 16,197.5 Joules

m = 165.078 g

Thus, the mass of nickel sample is 165.078 g

HELP ME please i need help with this

nadezda [96]

4)
a) Natural selection will work negatively against rabbits that only eat berries as the drought is preventing berries from growing. It wont have any negative impact on rabbits that only eat grass as the grass is still surviving.

b) The statement ‘population has variations’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits eat different things. They aren’t all the same. The statement ‘some variations are favorable’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat grass are able to survive the drought. Their variation in eating grass instead of berries let’s them live. The statement ‘a population will change over time’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat berries will die out. This will not only change the size of the population but going forward will create a population that has more rabbits that eat only grass on account of natural selection.

The specific heat of water is 4.184Jg ∘C. Determine the final temperature when 600.0 g water at 75.5∘C absorbs 5.90×104 J of ene

sesenic [268]

Answer:

$T_2=98.5^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given that,

The specific heat of water is 4.184Jg°C

Mass, m = 600 g

Initial temperature, T₁ = 75.5°C

We need to find the final temperature. We know that heat absorbed is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_2-T_1)\\\\\dfrac{Q}{mc}=(T_2-T_1)\\\\\\T_2=\dfrac{Q}{mc}+T_1\\\\T_2=\dfrac{5.9\times 10^4}{600\times 4.184}+75\\\\T_2=98.5^{\circ}$

So, the final temperature is equal to $98.5^{\circ}$ .
