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

Coal can be used to generate hydrogen gas (a potential fuel) by thefollowing endothermic reaction.C(s) + H2O (g) <==> CO(g
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

C(s) + H_2O (g)\leftrightharpoons CO(g) + H_2(g)

Given that reaction is an endothermic reaction.

For the given options:

a)Adding more C

If the concentration of C that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of C takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction to wards the formation of hydrogen gas.

b) Adding more H_2O

If the concentration of water that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of water  takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction towards the formation of hydrogen gas.

c) Raising the temperature  of the reaction mixture

If the temperature is increased,heat of the equilibrium mixture will also increase so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in heat that is decrease in temperature occurs.

As, this is an endothermic reaction, forward reaction will decrease the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

d) Increasing the volume  of reaction mixture

If the volume of the container is increased, the pressure will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is greater at the product side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

e) Adding a catalyst  to reaction mixture

Role of catalyst is to attain the equilibrium quickly without disturbing the state of equilibrium. Hence, addition of catalyst will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.  

f) Adding an inert gas to reaction mixture

Adding inert gas to the mixture at constant volume will not effect the equilibrium. Hence, addition of an inert gas will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.

The coefficients in the balanced chemical equation are used to determine mole ratios.
padilas [110]

Answer:

1 mole of HCl or NaOH gives you 1 mole of H2O , then the number of moles in H2O is: [ 1÷1×1 ] = 1 mole.

Which is the best definition of nonpolar covalent bond?​
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

It is one of the covalent bonds in which the electrons are shared equally; therefore, dipole moment exists between the atoms in a molecule and there is no charge separation between the atoms in a molecule.
