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 diffusion coefficient KG was determined for the diffusion of a gas A through a stagnant film B [KG = 0.88 mol//h-ft2-atm].

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

Transfer of mass A into stagnant film B depends on the availability of driving force.

Whereas driving force is the pressure difference at the surface of A and the bulk.

As, $N_{A} \propto (P_{A1} - P_{A2})$

$N_{A} = K_{G} \times (P_{A1} - P_{A2})$

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$N_{A} = K_{G} \times (P_{A1} - P_{A2})$

= $0.88 \times (0.2 atm - 0.05 atm)$

= 0.132 $mol/h.ft^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the flux of A from a surface into a mixture of A and B is 0.132 $mol/h.ft^{2}$

Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In 1.00 second, 2.68×1016Na+ ions arrive at the negative electrode and 3.9

EleoNora [17]

Answer : The current passing between the electrodes is, $1.056\times 10^{-2}A$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the charge of sodium ion.

$q=ne$

where,

q = charge of sodium ion

n = number of sodium ion = $2.68\times 10^{16}$

e = charge on electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

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

$q=(2.68\times 10^{16})\times (1.6\times 10^{-19}C)=4.288\times 10^{-3}C$

Now we have to calculate the charge of chlorine ion.

$q'=ne$

where,

q' = charge of chlorine ion

n = number of chlorine ion = $3.92\times 10^{16}$

e = charge on electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

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

$q'=(3.92\times 10^{16})\times (1.6\times 10^{-19}C)=6.272\times 10^{-3}C$

Now we have to calculate the current passing between the electrodes.

$I=\frac{q}{t}+\frac{q'}{t}$

$I=\frac{4.288\times 10^{-3}}{1.00}+\frac{6.272\times 10^{-3}}{1.00}$

$I=1.056\times 10^{-2}A$

Thus, the current passing between the electrodes is, $1.056\times 10^{-2}A$
