A calorimeter contains 124 g of water at 26.6°C. A block of metal with a mass of 26 g is heated to 95.8°C and then placed in the

water in the calorimeter. After sufficient time, the temperature of the water is measured and found to be 29.0°C. Calculate the heat capacity per gram of metal. Assume no heat is lost to the calorimeter or the surroundings.

Answer:

The heat capacity of the metal is 0.717 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of water = 124.0 grams

Mass of metal = 26.0 grams

Temperature of water = 26.6 °C

Temperature of metal = 95.8 °C

Final temperature of the water = 29.0 °C

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate heat capacity of metal

Qlost = -Q gained

Qmetal = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with m = mass in grams

⇒ c= the heat capacity in J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 (in °C)

Qmetal = -Qwater

m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

26 *c(metal) *(29-95.8) = -124 * 4.184 *(29-26.6)

-1736.8 * c(metal) = -1245.16

c(metal) = 0.717 J/g°C

The heat capacity of the metal is 0.717 J/g°C

What is/are the principal product(s) formed when excess methylmagnesium iodide reacts with p-hydroxyacetophenone?
Montano1993 [528]

The end product will depend upon

a) the amount of the reagent taken

b) the final treatment of the reaction

If we have just taken methylmagnesium iodide and p-hydroxyacetophenone, then we will get methane and hydroxyl group substituted with MgI in place of hydrogen

Figure 1

However if we have taken excess of methylmagnesium iodide which is Grignard's reagent followed by hydrolysis we will get different product

Figure 2

State the difference between sugar in water and pebbles in water
Usimov [2.4K]
Sugar is made of molecules that are bonded together based on the positively and negatively charged areas.  They will slowly dissolve in water.  Pebbles are solids.  They will sit in water for a long time.  Though shale pebbles will break apart or fall apart.

In a furnace zinc is a gas but lead is a liquid. <br><br> Suggest why?
Tems11 [23]

I believe it is because, Lead has a higher boiling point than zinc. by the time Lead melts and becomes a liquid, the temperature is way higher than the boiling point of Zinc therefore, Zinc becomes a gas.
