A 50 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 90.0C. It is placed in a perfectly insulated container along with 100 g of water

at an initial temperature of 20C. After a short time, the temperature of both the metal and water become equal at 25C. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/gC in this temperature range. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

Q unknown = -Q H2O
Q H2O= (100g x 4.18 J/g C x (25C - 20C)
Q H2O = 2090J

-2090J = (50g x c x (25C-90C)
-2090J = -3250c
.64 = c

I am a high school student and have done this problem a few months ago for my test, hope this helps

The chemical equation, Cr + Fe(NO3)2 → Fe + Cr(NO3)3, is an example of which type of reaction?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Redox type

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Cr +  3Fe(NO₃)₂ → 2Fe + 2Cr(NO₃)₃

2 moles of chromium can react to 3 moles of iron (II) nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of chromium nitrate.

If we see oxidation state, we see that chromium changes from 0 to +3

Iron changed the oxidation state from +2 to 0

Remember that elements at ground state has 0, as oxidation state.

Iron is being reduced while chromium is oxidized. Then, the half reactions are:

Fe²⁺  +  2e⁻ ⇄  Fe    (Reduction)

Cr ⇄ Cr³⁺  +  3e⁻    (Oxidation)

When an element is being  reduced, while another is being oxidized, we are in prescence of a redox reaction.

Suppose that 0.48 g of water at 25∘C∘C condenses on the surface of a 55-gg block of aluminum that is initially at 25∘C∘C. If the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer : The final temperature of the metal block is, 25^oC

Explanation :

heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}

As we know that,  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]         .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of aluminum = 55 g

m_2 = mass of water = 0.48 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = temperature of aluminum = 25^oC

T_2 = temperature of water = 25^oC

c_1 = specific heat of aluminum = 0.900J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water= 4.184J/g^oC

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

55g\times 0.900J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25)^oC=-[0.48g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25)^oC]

T_{final}=25^oC

Thus, the final temperature of the metal block is, 25^oC
