if a 500.0-g block of metal absorbs 5,016J of heat when its temperature changes from 20.00 Celcius, what is the specific heat?

1 answer:

4 0

Correction: The temperature change is from 20 °C to 30 °C.

Answer:
Cp = 1.0032 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Solution:

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

Q = m Cp ΔT ----- (1)

Where;
Q = Heat = 5016 J

m = mass = 500 g

Cp = Specific Heat Capacity = ??

ΔT = Change in Temperature = 30 °C - 20 °C = 10 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

Cp = Q / m ΔT

Putting values,
Cp = 5016 J / (500 g × 10 °C)

Cp = 1.0032 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

The answer to this question would be: <span> 10 °K

Kelvin and Celcius scales are different by 273</span> degrees but their ratio is the same. One degree in Kelvin is equal to one degree in Celcius. That mean, 10 °C change in Celcius would be same as <span> 10 °K changes in Kelvin too. </span>

When the plutonium bomb was tested in New Mexico in 1945, approximately 1 gram of matter was converted into energy. Suppose anot

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given Einstein's theory of relativity, we have that;

E= mc^2

m= mass of the substance

c= speed of light

For one gram of the substance,

E= 1 ×10^-3 × (3 × 10^8)^2

E = 9 × 10^13 J

For 8.7 g of matter;

E = 8.7 × 10^-3× (3 × 10^8)

E= 7.83 ×10^ 14 J

A balance reads an object A to be 45.1 kg. The balance reads another object B to be 33.46 kg. What is the total weight of both o

postnew [5]

Answer:

The total weight of both object is 78.56 kg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of object A = 45.1 kg

Mass of object B = 33.46 kg

Total weight of object = ?

Solution:

Total weight of both subject must be the sum of weight of object A and B.

Total weight of objects = weight of object A + weight of object B

Now we will put the values of mass of object A and B.

Total weight of objects = 45.1 kg + 33.46 kg

Total weight of objects =78.56 kg

Thus the total weight of both object is 78.56 kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol = mass / 64 g/mol

Mass = 128 g

Mg:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

0.5 mol = mass / 24 g/mol

Mass = g

Cl₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles = 35.5 g / 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 852 mol

H₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

8 mol = Mass / 2 g/mol

Mass = 16 g

P₄:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol = mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

O₃:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles = 1.6 g /48 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.033 mol

H₂O

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles = 54 g / 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 3 mol

CO₂

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol = mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

NH₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles = 8.5 g / 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

CaCO₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles = 100 g / 100 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

Given data:

Mass of iron(III)oxide needed = ?

Mass of iron produced = 100 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

F₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂

Number of moles of iron:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 100 g/ 56 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.78 mol

Now we compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

Fe : F₂O₃

2 : 1

1.78 : 1/2×1.78 = 0.89 mol

Mass of F₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.89 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 142.124 g

100 g of iron is 1.78 moles of Fe, so 0.89 moles of F₂O₃ are needed, or 142.124 g of iron(III) oxide.

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 0.05 mol

Mass of iodine = 26 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3I₂ → 2AlI₃

Number of moles of iodine = 26 g/ 254 g/mol

Number of moles of iodine = 0.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Al and I₂ with AlI₃.

Al : AlI₃

2 : 2

0.05 : 0.05

I₂ : AlI₃

3 : 2

0.1 : 2/3×0.1 = 0.067

Number of moles of AlI₃ produced by Al are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of AlI₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.05 mol × 408 g/mol

Mass = 20.4 g

26 g of iodine is 0.1 moles. From the equation, this will react with 2 moles of Al. So the limiting reactant is Al.

Given data:

Mass of lead = 6.21 g

Mass of lead oxide = 6.85 g

Equation of reaction = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Pb + O₂ → 2PbO

Number of moles of lead = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.21 g/ 207 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of lead oxide = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.85 g/ 223 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.031 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with lead and lead oxide.

Pb : O₂

2 : 1

0.03 : 1/2×0.03 = 0.015 mol

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.015 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 0.48 g

The mass of oxygen that took part in equation was 0.48 g. which is 0.015 moles of oxygen. The number of moles of Pb in 6.21 g of lead is 0.03 moles. So the balance equation is

2Pb + O₂ → 2PbO
