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>

The half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years. How much plutonium will remain after 1000 years if the initial a
Anestetic [448]

The mass of plutonium that will remain after 1000 years if the initial amount is 5 g when the half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years is 2.5 g

The equation is Mr=Mi(1/2)^n

where n is the number of half-lives

Mr is the mass remaining after n half lives

Mi is the initial mass of the sample

To find n, the number of half-lives, divide the total time 1000 by the time of the half-life(24,100)

n=1000/24100=0.0414

So Mr=5x(1/2)^1=2.5 g

The mass remaining is 2.5 g

  • The half life is the time in which the concentration of a substance decreases to half of the initial value.

To determine the concentration of 20.00 mL of an unknown solution of a monoprotic acid, it is titrated with 0.1093 M sodium hydr
Elanso [62]

Answer:

d) 0.1202 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between NaOH and a generic monoprotic acid.

NaOH + HA → NaA + H₂O

The used volume of NaOH is 41.63 mL - 19.63 mL = 22.00 mL. The moles of NaOH are:

22.00 × 10⁻³ L × 0.1093 mol/L = 2.405 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of NaOH to HA is 1:1. The moles of HA that reacted are 2.405 × 10⁻³ moles.

The molar concentration of HA is:

2.405 × 10⁻³ mol / 20.00 × 10⁻³ L = 0.1202 M
