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>

The element that can act like a metal when it is under tremendous pressure and is probably responsible for Jupiter and Saturn's
erastova [34]

Answer:

1. Hydrogen

Explanation:

These planets contain liquid hydrogen in their interior, while the earth has liquid iron in it.

When liquid hydrogen is in tremendous pressure enviroments, the electrons  that make up each atom of this element end up "jumping" to other atoms. These "jumps" allow liquid hydrogen to behave like a metal.

In addition, with the constant energy released by the nucleus of planets like Jupiter and Saturn, as well as their rotations, the liquid hydrogen receives induction of currents, giving rise to extremely powerful magnetic fields.

Gases with high molecular weights diffuse more slowly than gases with lower molecular weights.
Rom4ik [11]
The answer to this item is TRUE. This can be explained through the Graham's law. This law states that the rate at which gases diffuse is inversely proportional to the square root of their densities which is also related to their molecular masses.

A sample of gas occupies 300 mL at 100K. What is its volume when the
iris [78.8K]

If the temperature of the sample of gas increases to the given value, the volume also increases to 600mL.

<h3>What is Charles's law?</h3>

Charles's law states that "the volume occupied by a definite quantity of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

It is expressed as;

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

Given the data in the question;

  • Initial temperature of gas T₁ = 100K
  • Initial volume of gas V₁ = 300mL
  • Final temperature T₂ = 200K
  • Final volume V₂ = ?

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂ / T₁

V₂ = ( 300mL × 200K ) / 100K

V₂ = 60000mLK / 100K

V₂ = 600mL

Therefore, if the temperature of the sample of gas increases to the given value, the volume also increases to 600mL.
