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

State two methods to increase the rate of the chemical reaction and explain
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

METHOD 1: (surface area of a solid reactant)  METHOD 2: (concentration or pressure of a reactant)

Explanation:

METHOD 1: (surface area of a solid reactant) Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.

METHOD 2: (concentration or pressure of a reactant) Increasing the concentration means that we have more particles in the same volume of solution. This increases the chance of collisions between reactant particles, resulting in more collisions in any given time and a faster reaction. As we increase the pressure of reacting gases, we increase the rate of reaction.

What is the base dissociation constant for a weak base at equilibrium, B + H2O <===> BH+ + OH–?
podryga [215]
Depends on what the base is. You would reference the base dissociation chart for that value.
