A metal sample weighing 129.00 grams and at a temperature of 97.8 degrees Celsius was placed in 45.00 grams of water in a calori

meter at 20.4 degrees Celsius. At equilibrium the temperature of the water and metal was 39.6 degrees Celsius. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. The specific heat of the water is 4.184 J/g/C

Answer : The specific heat of metal is 0.481J/g^oC.

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

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

m_1 = mass of metal = 129.00 g

m_2 = mass of water = 45.00 g

T_f = final temperature = 39.6^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 97.8^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.4^oC

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

129.00g\times c_1\times (39.6-97.8)^oC=-45.00g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (39.6-20.4)^oC

c_1=0.481J/g^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of metal is 0.481J/g^oC.

A student found that the titration had taken 10.00 ml of 0.1002 m naoh to titration 0.132 g of aspirin, a monoprotic acid. calcu
Harman [31]
The balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is as follows;
NaOH + C₉H₈O₄ --> C₉H₇O₄Na + H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to C₉H₈O₄ is 1:1
The number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.1002 M / 1000 mL/L x 10.00 mL 
Number of NaOH  moles - 0.001002 mol
Therefore number of moles of aspirin - 0.001002 mol
Mass of aspirin reacted - 0.001002 mol x 180.2 g/mol = 0.18 g
However the mass of the aspirin sample is 0.132 g but 0.18 g of aspirin has reacted, therefore this question is not correct.

Calculate the percent yield when 500 grams of carbon dioxide react with an excess of water to produce 640 grams of carbonic acid
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Percent yield =  90.5%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon dioxide = 500 g

Mass of water = excess

Actual yield of carbonic acid = 640 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation:

CO₂ + H₂O  → H₂CO₃

Number of moles of carbon dioxide

Number of moles  = Mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 500 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 11.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of H₂CO₃ with CO₂.

                              CO₂          :              H₂CO₃

                                 1             :                  1

                               11.4           :                11.4

Mass of carbonic acid:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 11.4 mol × 62.03 g/mol

Mass = 707.14 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield =  640 g/ 707.14 g × 100

Percent yield =  90.5%
