A 45.9 g sample of a metal is heated to 95.2°c and then placed in a calorimeter containing 120.0 g of water (c = 4.18 j/g°c) at

21.6°c. the final temperature of the water is 24.5°c. which metal was used?

Answer:

Iron

Explanation:

Heat released by the metal sample will be equivalent to the heat absorbed by  water.

But heat = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change

Thus;

Heat released by the metal;

= 45.9 g × c ×(95.2 -24.5) , where c is the specific heat capacity of the metal

= 3245.13c joules

Heat absorbed by water;

= 120 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (24.5-21.6)

= 1454.64 joules

Therefore;

3245.13c joules = 1454.64 joules

c = 1454.64/3245.13

  = 0.448 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the  metal sample is 0.448 J/g°C. The metal use is most likely, Iron.

Anyone know how to do this?
Levart [38]

yes I doso u need to find the amount of grams total and the individual amount of grams.so 40+40+52+16+16+16+16=196g  (I got the numbers from the periodic table)K- 80gCr-52gO-64gsince you are solving for oxygen, you would only use the oxygen part so...64g/196g=32.9%32.9% is the answer hope this helps! if it doesn't, let me know in the comments! have a blessed day!

How to separate water from a mixture of rice and peas? Please
charle [14.2K]
Depending on the type of pea, the peas should come to the top as they are lighter and larger. Then just scoop or brush them off into another container. If you separate it into smaller batches and work them one by one, you should then find you get pure rice batches left which you can put in their own container.

If you lived in Alaska, which of the following natural gases could you keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter: a. Methane (CH
wariber [46]

Answer:

Methane

Explanation:

The gas that you could keep in an outdoor storage tank in winter in Alaska is Methane.

The reason is the extreme low temperature during the winter. The boiling point of butane is 44 ºF ( -1ºC) and that of propane is a higher -43.6 º F but still within the range of average minimum winter temperature in Alaska (-50 ªF). Therefore we will have condensation in the tanks and not enough gas pressure.

Methane having  a boling point  of  -259 ºF will not condense at the low wintertime temperatures in Alaska.
