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

The overall charge of an atom is what <br><br>​
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.

calculate the wavelength of light associated with the transition from n=1 to n=3 in the hydrogen atom?
inessss [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

\Delta E=E_{final}-E_{initial}

\Delta E=-1312[\frac{1}{(n_f^2)}-\frac {1}{(n_i^2 )}]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=-1312[\frac{1}{3^2)}-\frac {1}{(1^2 )}]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=-1312[\frac{1}{(9)}-\frac {1}{(1 )}]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=-1312[0.111-1]KJ mol^{-1}

\Delta E=1166 KJ mol^{-1}

\frac{=1166,000 \mathrm{J}}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \text { photons }}

=193623 \times 10^{-23}  \frac {J}{photon}

\Delta E=1.93623 \times 10^{-18}  \frac {J}{photon}

\Delta E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda} \\\\=\frac {(6.626\times 10^{-34} J s \times 3 \times 10^8 ms^{-1})}{\lambda}

h is planck's constant  

c is the speed of light

λ is the wavelength of light  

\lambda =\frac {h\times c}{\Delta E}\\\\=\frac {(6.626\times10^{-34} J s\times3 \times 10^8 ms^{-1})}{(1.93623\times10^{-18}  J/photon)}

Wavelength

\lambda =10.3 \times 10^{-8} m \times \frac {(10^9 nm)}{1m}  =103 nm (Answer)

<em>Thus, the wavelength of light associated with the transition from n=1 to n=3 in the hydrogen atom is </em><u><em>103 nm.</em></u>

A solid sample of metal is dropped into an acidic solution. bubbles form as the metal is dissolved. what kind of reaction have y
Vitek1552 [10]
The kind of reaction that is likely to be observed is a single displacement reaction where the metal displaces the H+ ion from the acid. The general chemical reaction would be written as 2M + 2HX = 2MX + H2 where M represents a metal and HX is the acid.
