Answer : The initial temperature of water (in ^{0}celcius) = 77.108^{0}C  

Solution : Given,

Mass of gold = 15.23 g

Mass of water = 28 g

Initial temperature of gold = 53^{0}C  

Final temperature of gold = 62^{0}C

Final temperature of water = 62^{0}C

Heat capacity of gold = 12.9J/g^{0}C

Heat capacity of water = 4.18J/g^{0}C

The formula used for calorimetry is,

q = m × c × ΔT

where,

q = heat required

m = mass of an element

c = heat capacity

ΔT = change in temperature

In the calorimetry, the energy as heat lost by the system is equal to the gained by the surroundings.

Now the above formula converted and we get

q_{system}= - q_{surrounding}

m_{system}\times c_{system}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})_{system}= -[m_{surrounding}\times c_{surrounding}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})_{surrounding}]

m_{gold}\times c_{gold}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})_{gold}= -[m_{water}\times c_{water}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})_{water}]

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

15.23g\times 12.9J/g^{0}C \times (62^{0}C-53^{0}C )= -[28g\times 4.18J/g^{0}C \times (62^{0}C-T_{\text{ initial of water}})]

By rearranging the terms, we get

T_{\text{ initial water}=77.108^{0}C

Thus the initial temperature of water = 77.108^{0}C

What mass of H2 is needed to react with 8.75 g of O2 according to the following equation: O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(g)?
alina1380 [7]

Mass of H₂ needed to react with O₂ : 1.092 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

Reaction

O₂(g) + 2H₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

mass of O₂ : 8.75 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{8.75}{32}=0.273

From the equation, mol ratio of O₂ : H₂ = 1 : 2, so mol H₂ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.273=0.546

Mass H₂ (MW=2 g/mol) :

\tt 0.546\times 2=1.092~g
