A 30.5 g sample of an alloy at 95.0°C is placed into 49.3 g water at 24.3°C in an insulated coffee cup. The heat capacity of the

coffee cup (without the water) is 9.2 J/K. If the final temperature of the system is 31.1°C, what is the specific heat capacity of the alloy? (c of water is 4.184 J/g×K)

Answer:

0.752 J/g*K

Explanation:

The heat lost by the alloy (which is negative) must be equal to the heat gained by the water and the coffee cup:

-Qa = Qw + Qc

-ma*ca*ΔTa = mw*cw*ΔTw + C*ΔTc

Where, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, C is the heat capacity of the coffee cup, ΔT is the change in temperature, a represents the alloy, and w the water.

The coffee cup has initial temperature equal to the water, then:

-30.5*ca*(31.1 - 95.0) = 49.3*4.184*(31.1 - 24.3) + 9.2*(31.1 - 24.3)

1948.95ca = 1465.20

ca = 0.752 J/g*K

When chlorine and magnesium react chemically, how many chlorine atoms will combine with one magnesium atom?
Lesechka [4]
Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

Which of the following reactions would have an increase in entropy?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

D. CH₄(g) + H₂O(g) → CO(g) + 3H₂(g)

Explanation:

A rule of thumb is that there's an increase in entropy if there are more molecules in the products than in the reactants when there's no state change. The only given option where that takes place is option D., as there are two molecules in the reactants and 4 (1 of CO and 3 of H₂) in the products.
