Answer:
The initial temperature of the metal is 84.149 °C.
Explanation:
The heat lost by the metal will be equivalent to the heat gain by the water.
- (msΔT)metal = (msΔT)water
-32.5 grams × 0.365 J/g°C × ΔT = 105.3 grams × 4.18 J/g °C × (17.3 -15.4)°C
-ΔT = 836.29/12.51 °C
-ΔT = 66.89 °C
-(T final - T initial) = 66.89 °C
T initial = 66.89 °C + T final
T initial = 66.89 °C + 17.3 °C
T initial = 84.149 °C.
Heat flows from hot to cold on its own spontaneity. Temperature is used to measure how hot or cold an object is in relation to its reference point.
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
Since X is more reactive than Y
=> X is oxidized to X2+ and Y2+ is reduced to Y
Overall cell reaction is:
X(s) + Y2+(aq) => X2+(aq) + Y(s)
