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!

1a) consider the mixed aldol condensation reaction of 1-methylcyclopentane-1-carbaldehyde (shown below) and 3,3-dimethyl-2-butan
zubka84 [21]
Aldehydes and ketones having α-hydrogen atoms, undergoes aldol condensation, in present of base (NaOH). 

The initial product formed during this reaction is β-hydroxy alcohol, which then undergoes dehydration to form α,β-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone.

In present case, 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone  has 2α-hyrogen atom, while methylcyclopentane-1-carbaldehyde has 1α-hydrogen atom. So the major product formed during cross aldol condensation reaction of these reactants is:
 5-hydroxy-4,4-dimethly-1-(2-methylcyclopentyl)pent-1-en-3-one. 

The complete reaction product formed is shown below.

What is the equilibrium constant of a reaction?
xeze [42]

Answer:

A. It is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

This equilibrium constant can be expressed in many different formats.

  • For any system, the molar concentration of all the species on the right side are related to the molar concentrations of those on the left side by the equilibrium constant.
  • The equilibrium constant is a constant at a given temperature and it is temperature dependent.
  • The derivation of the equilibrium constant is based on the law of mass action.
  • It states that "the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentration of the reacting substances. "

The effectiveness of a chemical sanitizer can be limited by
Serjik [45]

Chemical sanitizer effectiveness, decreases with increase in pH . And most soap and detergent are alkaline in nature, that limits its effectiveness. So they should be rinsed off completely for proper effectiveness of santizer. So improper rinsing limits the effectiveness of a sanitizer.

So , the answer is improper rinsing after that still a detergent residue remains limits the effectiveness of sanitizer.
