A 12.0 g sample of a metal is heated to 90.0 ◦C. It is then dropped into 25.0 g of water. The temperature of the water rises fro

m 22.5 to 25.0 ◦C. The specific heat of water is 4.18 Jg−1◦C −1 . Calculated the specific heat of the metal. Express your answer in Jg−1◦C
I know that the answer is 0.335. My question: Should there be 2 sig figs (0.34) because 25-22.5=2.5? Or is it three sig figs 0.335 because all the original values have 3 sig figs in the beginning.

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.34 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 12.0 grams

Mass of the water = 25.0 grams

Initial temperature of the metal = 90.0 °C

Initial temperature of the water = 22.5 °C

Final temperature = 25 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of the metal

Qlost = Qgained

Q = m*c*ΔT

Qmetal = -Qwater

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

⇒ with mass of metal = 12.0 grams

⇒ with c(metal) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT(metal) = T2 - T1 = 25.0°C - 90.0 °C = -65.0 °C

⇒ with mass of water = 25.0 grams

⇒ with c(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 25.0 - 22.5 °C = 2.5 °C

12.0 * c(metal) * -65.0 °C = -25.0g * 4.184 J/g°C * 2.5°C

-780.0 * c(metal) = -2615 ( 2.6*10^3 with sig figs)

c(metal) = 0.335 (=0.34 with sig figs)

The specific heat of the metal is 0.34 J/g°C

Assumption: carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of carbon and oxygen on a modern periodic table:

C: 12.011;
O: 15.999.

Calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide $\rm CO_2$ :

$M\!\left(\mathrm{CO_2}\right) = 12.011 + 2\times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Find the number of moles of molecules in that $41.1\;\rm g$ sample of $\rm CO_2$ :

$n = \dfrac{m}{M} = \dfrac{41.1}{44.009} \approx 0.933900\; \rm mol$ .

If carbon dioxide behaves like an ideal gas, it should satisfy the ideal gas equation when it is inside a container:

$P \cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T$ ,

where

$P$ is the pressure inside the container.
$V$ is the volume of the container.
$n$ is the number of moles of particles (molecules, or atoms in case of noble gases) in the gas.
$R$ is the ideal gas constant.
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas.

Rearrange the equation to find an expression for $P$ , the pressure inside the container.

$\displaystyle P = \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{V}$ .

Look up the ideal gas constant in the appropriate units.

$R = 8.314 \times 10^3\; \rm L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Evaluate the expression for $P$ :

$\begin{aligned} P &=\rm \frac{0.933900\; mol \times 8.314 \times 10^3 \; L \cdot Pa \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1} \times 298\; K}{3.4\; L} \cr &\approx \rm 6.81\times 10^5\; Pa \end{aligned}$ .

Apply dimensional analysis to verify the unit of pressure.

Any body help me? please Q 17

iVinArrow [24]

Question 17

The subscript 2 is the atomic number for helium and subscript 4 is the mass number for Helium

<u><em>explanation</em></u>

when writing down an isotope of an element the mass number of that isotope is written in upper side of the chemical symbol, while atomic number is written on the lower side.

Since 4 is on upper side it is the mass number of He, while 2 is the atomic number since it is on lower side.

Question 18

The type of radiation emitted when polonium -212 form lead 208 is an alpha particle

<u><em>explanation</em></u>

Alpha decay is a decay in which an atomic nuclei emit an alpha particles and be transformed into different atomic nuclei with a mass number that is reduced by 4

polonium 212 is reduced by 4 to form lead 208 therefore it undergo alpha particle decay.
