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.

What is the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
xenn [34]
<span>To find the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), first record the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl), which are both listed on the periodic table as follows: Mg=24 g/mole Cl=38 g/mole Now, double the Cl mass since there are 2 Cl moles in MgCl2 and then add it to the Mg mass like so: (38 g/mole*2 moles)+24 g/mole=100 g/mole Finally, to calculate the mass of 3.00 moles of MgCl2, convert the combined atomic mass to grams as follows: 3.00 moles * 100 g/mole = 300 g</span>

A 52.0 mL portion of a 1.20 M solution is diluted to a total volume of 278 mL. A 139 mL portion of that solution is diluted by a
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

C_3=0.125M

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we can divide the problem in two steps:

1. Dilution to 278 mL: here, the initial concentration and volume are 1.20 M and 52.0 mL respectively, and a final volume of 278 mL, it means that the moles remain the same so we can write:

V_1C_1=V_2C_2

So we solve for C2:

C_2=\frac{C_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{52.0mL*1.20M}{278mL}\\\\C_2=0.224M

2. Now, since 111 mL of water is added, we compute the final volume, V3:

V_3=139+111=250mL

So, the final concentration of the 139 mL portion is:

C_3=\frac{139 mL*0.224M}{250mL}\\\\C_3=0.125M

Best regards!
