A 13.5g sample of gold is heated, then placed in a calorimeter containing 60g of water. The temperature of water increases from

19oC to 20oC. The specific heat of gold is 0.13J/goC. What was the initial temperature of the gold metal sample?

Answer:

T_i~=163.1 ºC

Explanation:

We have to start with the variables of the problem:

Mass of water = 60 g

Mass of gold = 13.5 g

Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC

Final temperature of water= 20 ºC

<u>Initial temperature of gold= Unknow</u>

Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC

Specific heat of gold = 0.13J/gºC

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Now if we remember the <u>heat equation</u>:

Q_H_2_O=m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT

Q_A_u=m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT

We can relate these equations if we take into account that <u>all heat of gold is transfer to the water</u>, so:

m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT=~-~m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT

Now we can <u>put the values into the equation</u>:

60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C=-(13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C*(20-T_i)~{\circ}C)

Now we can <u>solve for the initial temperature of gold</u>, so:

T_i~=(\frac{60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C}{13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C})+20

T_i~=163.1 ºC

I hope it helps!

Some atoms are chemically stable and will not bond with atoms of other
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The stability of atoms depends on whether or not their outer-most shell is filled with electrons. If the outer shell is filled, the atom is stable. Atoms with unfilled outer shells are unstable, and will usually form chemical bonds with other atoms to achieve stability.
