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>

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 âc to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant
defon
To convert boiling water to steam, that would involve heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization for water at atmospheric conditions is: ΔHvap = <span>2260 J/g.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Q = m</span>ΔHvap = (1.50 mol water)(18 g/mol)(<span>2260 J/g) = 61,020 J

Time = Q/Rate = (61,020 J)(1 s/20 J) = 3051 seconds

In order to express the answer in three significant units, let's convert that to minutes.
Time = 3051 s * 1min/30 s = <em>102 min</em></span>

If 25.0 g NO are produced, how many grams of nitrogen gas are used?
mr Goodwill [35]

Using the stoichiometry of the reaction and the information provided in the question, the mass of N2 used is 11.62 g.

<h3>Chemical reaction</h3>

The term chemical reaction refers to the combiantion of two or substances to yiled one or more products. The reaction equation in this case is N2 + O2 --->2NO.

Now;

Number of moles of NO = 25g/30 g/mol = 0.83 moles

1 mole of N2 yields 2 moles of NO

x moles of N2 yileds 0.83 moles of NO

x = 0.415 moles

Mass of N2 = 0.415 moles * 28 g/mol = 11.62 g

Which of the following best describes a metal? Brittle, shiny, and solid Brittle, dull, and low density Malleable, shiny, and ab
yanalaym [24]

Answer : The correct option is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.

Explanation:

Metals : Metals are the elements which can easily loose electrons and forms cations.

Properties of metals :

  • They are lustrous (shine).
  • They are malleable and ductile (flexible).
  • They conduct heat and electricity.
  • The metallic oxides are basic in nature.
  • They form cations in an aqueous solution.

Non-metals : Non-metals are the elements which can easily gain electrons and form an anion.

Properties of non-metals :

  • They are non-lustrous.
  • They are brittle and hard in nature.
  • They do not conduct heat and electricity.
  • The non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
  • They form anions in an aqueous solution.

Hence, from the given options the correct option for metal is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.
