Describe how you would use a calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal

Chemistry

Answer: (see explanation part)

Explanation:

A piece of solid material of specific heat c unknown is weighed with a balance, m resulting in its mass. The piece is put in almost boiling water at temperature T.

M grams of water are put on the calorimeter, it is stirred and after a short time, its temperature T0 is measured.

The solid part is quickly deposited in the calorimeter. It is stirred, and after a certain time the equilibrium temperature Te is reached.

The data is recorded and c is cleared of the formula that's attached (please take a look).

<span>My only guess is obtain a metal and heat it in a boiling water bath (of known temperature) this will be your initial temperature. Now obtain a calorimeter cup with water of known temperature as well. Place the metal into the calorimeter cup and record the temperature after 5 minutes. You now have delta T, mass of the metal, and Q. Solve for C.

Hope this helps xox :)</span>

Perform the following mathematical operation, and report the answer to the correct number of significant figures. 0.34 x 0.568=?
slavikrds [6]

The correct answer to the problem is 0.193 which is three significant figures.

<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>

The term significant figures has to do with the figures that have a mathematical meaning. We know that the result has to correspond to the highest number of significant figures.

Hence, If we multiply 0.34 x 0.568 the result ought to be recorded as 0.193 which is three significant figures.

Identify the conjugate acid/base pairs in each of the following equations:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(c) Pair 1: HBr and Br⁻

    Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH

(d)  Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻

     Pair 2: H₃O⁺

Explanation:

When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.

When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.

(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.

    NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺

(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.

     The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

(c) HBr is an acid. When loses the H⁺ ion, it forms the conjugate base Br⁻.

   CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.

(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.

    H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.

Which two changes would increase the gravitational force between two
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B. Increase the mass of one of the objects.

E. Decrease the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

To effect an increase in the gravitational force between two objects, the mass of both objects should be increased and the distance between them reduced.

This is derived from the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

  • It states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

Therefore, if the mass of the two bodies are increased and the distance between them reduced, the gravitational force of attraction will increase.
