The carbon cycle is nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms

How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

One can determine the specific heat of the metal through using the clarimeter, water, thermometer and using heat equations.

Explanation:

You can learn about heat effects and calorimetery through a simple experiment by boiling water and heating up the metal in it. Then, pour it into your calorimeter and the heat will flow from the metal to the water. The two equlibria will meet: the metal will loose heat into its surroundings (the water) and teh water will absorb the heat. The heat flow for the water is the same as it is for the metal, the only difference being is the negative sign indicating the loss of the heat of the metal.

In terms of theromdynamics, we can deteremine the heat flow for the metal becasue it would be equal to the mangnitued but opposite in direction. Thus, we can say that the specific heat of water qH2O = -qmetal.

"Synthesis gas" is a mixture of carbon monoxide and water vapor. At high temperature synthesis gas will form carbon dioxide and

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Lets start by drawing the ICE chart

reaction is

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............2.6.........3.4..........................0................0

E...........1.88........2.68......................0.72............0.72

since reaction is 1 : 1 if 0.72 atm of H2 are produced then the same amount of CO2 will be formed

calculate Kp this is the relationship between the pressure of products and the pressure of reactants

Kp = Pproducts / Preactants = [Pco2* PH2] / [PCO * PH2O]

Kp = 0.72 * 0.72 / (1.88 * 2.68) = 0.1029

Write the ICE chart again

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............1.88.........2.68+1.1.................0.72................0.72

C...........-x............. -x..............................+x........................+x

E......1.88 - x...........3.78-x.....................0.72+x..... ..0.72+x

Kp is = (0.72+x)*(0.72+x) /[ (1.88-x)*(3.78-x) ] = 0.1029

lets say that x is the change of pressure.

If you solve this equation you will get a value of x equal to 0.1

Pressure of CO2 is

0.72 + 0.1= 0.82 atm

using 2 sig figures this would be

8.2x10-1 atm
