An insulated container contains 0.3 kg of water at 20 degrees C. An alloy with a mass of 0.090 kg and an initial temperature of

55 degrees C is mixed with the water in the insulated container. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the temperature of the mixture is 25 degrees C. Assume that heat flows only between the alloy and the water. What is the specific heat of the alloy?

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy is 2.324 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of water = 0.3 kg = 300 grams

Temperature of water = 20°C

Mass of alloy = 0.090 kg

Initial temperature of alloy = 55 °C

The final temperature = 25°C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the specific heat of alloy

Qlost = -Qwater

Qmetal = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(alloy) * c(alloy) * ΔT(alloy) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of alloy = 90 grams

⇒ c(alloy) = the specific heat of alloy = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(alloy) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25-55 = -30°C

⇒ mass of water = 300 grams

⇒ c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25 - 20 = 5 °C

90 * c(alloy) * -30°C = -300 * 4.184 J/g°C * 5°C

c(alloy) = 2.324 J/g°C

The specific heat of the  alloy is 2.324 J/g°C

Model 1-How is a cell like a factory
anastassius [24]

A cell is like a factory in many ways.

For one, the cell typically contains many organelles that have several varying functions. In a factory, you have many workers who perform different tasks, just as the organelles in the cell do.

Another reason is that cells contain a nucleus or the boss/brain of the cell. In factories, this could be considered the boss of the workplace that tells each and every worker, or organelle, what to do.

The selectively permeable membrane of a cell also resembles a factory as it only lets in workers or special guests. The cell's membrane only lets in specific materials, hence the selectively permeable membrane.

These are just a few ways as to how the cell is like a factory.

Hope this helps!

A gas of 3.4 moles occupies a volume of 0.046 L at 298 K. What is the pressure in kPa?
Phantasy [73]

Answer : The correct option is, 2.1\times 10^5kPa

Explanation :

To calculate the pressure of gas we are using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = ?

V = volume of gas = 0.046 L

n = number of moles of gas = 3.4

R = gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

T = temperature of gas = 298 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

P\times (0.046L)=(3.4mol)\times (8.314L.kPa/mol.K)\times (298K)

P=1.83\times 10^5kPa\approx 2.1\times 10^5kPa

Therefore, the pressure of gas is, 2.1\times 10^5kPa
