Answer:
S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C
Explanation:
We can find specific heat of a material, S, using the equation:
q = m*S*ΔT
<em>Where q is change in heat, m is the mass of the substance, S specific heat and ΔT change in temperature.</em>
The heat given by the metal is equal to the heat that water absorbs, that is:
m(Metal)*S(metal)*ΔT(Metal) = m(Water)*S(water)*ΔT(water)
<em>Where:</em>
m(Metal) = 76.0g
S(metal) = ?
ΔT(Metal) = 96.0°C-31.0°C = 65.0°C
m(Water) = 120.0g
S(water) = 4.184J/g°C
ΔT(water) = 31.0°C-24.5°C = 6.5°C
Replacing:
76.0g*S(metal)*65.0°C = 120.0g*4.184J/g°C*6.5°C
S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C

The law of conservation applies because the energy is not been created or destroyed. The energy that the metal gives is absorbed by the water.
Answer:
%age Yield = 34.21 %
Explanation:
The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of KClO₃ is as follow;
3 KOH + H₃PO₄ → K₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O
Step 1: Calculate moles of H₃PO₄ as;
Moles = Mass / M/Mass
Moles = 334.6 g / 97.99 g/mol
Moles = 3.414 moles
Step 2: Find moles of K₃PO₄ as;
According to equation,
1 moles of H₃PO₄ produces = 1 moles of K₃PO₄
So,
3.414 moles of H₃PO₄ will produce = X moles of K₃PO₄
Solving for X,
X = 1 mol × 3.414 mol / 1 mol
X = 3.414 mol of K₃PO₄
Step 3: Calculate Theoretical yield of K₃PO₄ as,
Mass = Moles × M.Mass
Mass = 3.414 mol × 212.26 g/mol
Mass = 724.79 g of K₃PO₄
Also,
%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100
%age Yield = 248 g / 724.79 × 100
%age Yield = 34.21 %
