A 51.9g sample of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.449·J·g?1°C?1, is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) t

hat contains 300.0g of water. The temperature of the water starts off at 19.0°C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 20.3°C. The pressure remains constant at 1atm. Calculate the initial temperature of the iron sample. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

the initial temperature of the iron sample is Ti = 90,36 °C

Explanation:

Assuming the calorimeter has no heat loss to the surroundings:

Q w + Q iron = 0

Also when the T stops changing means an equilibrium has been reached and therefore, in that moment, the temperature of the water is the same that the iron ( final temperature of water= final temperature of iron = T )  

Assuming Q= m*c*( T- Tir)  

mc*cc*(T-Tc)+mir*cir*(T - Tir) = 0

 Tir = 20.3 °C + 300 g * 4.186 J/g°C * (20.3 C - 19 °C) / ( 51.9 g * 0.449 J/g°C )

 Tir = 90.36 °C

Note :

- The specific heat capacity of water is assumed 1 cal/g°C = 4.186 J/g°C  

- We assume no reaction between iron and water

Burning Mg in the air and reacting with O2 forming a white powder of MnO

So the equation is going to be:
Mn + O2 ⇒ MnO (this equation is not conserved)

to make it equilibrium:
1- First we should put 2Mno to equal the O2 on both sides.
So it will be:
Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO
2- Second we should put 2Mn to equal the Mn on both sides.
2Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO (this equation is conserved)
After putting the physical states the final equilibrium equation is going to be:
                        Δ
2Mg(s) + O2(g)⇒ 2MgO(s)

How much heat, in joules, must be added to a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature
svp [43]

Answer:

50,849.25 Joules

Explanation:

The amount of heat, Q, required to raise the temperature of a body with mass, m, and specific heat capacity, c is given by:

Q = mcΔT, where ΔT represents the change in temperature.

In the case of the iron block:

m = 75 g

c = 0.449 J/g °C

ΔT = 1535 - 25 = 1510 °C

Therefore,

Q = 75 g x 0.449 J/g °C x 1510 °C

     = 50,849.25 Joules

<em>Hence, </em><em>50,849.25 Joules </em><em> of heat must be added to  a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature from 25 °C to its melting temperature of 1535 °C</em>

Answer:

True

Explanation:

True. If an animal has attributes to it that help it survive better in an environment, it will survive better than its counterparts who do not have this attribute. More survival = More offspring
