when heat gained = heat lost
when AL is lost heat and water gain heat
∴ (M*C*ΔT)AL = (M*C*ΔT) water
when M(Al) is the mass of Al= 225g
C(Al) is the specific heat of Al = 0.9
ΔT(Al) = (125.5 - Tf)
and Mw is mass of water = 500g
Cw is the specific heat of water = 4.81
ΔT = (Tf - 22.5)
so by substitution:
∴225* 0.9 * ( 125.5 - Tf) = 500 * 4.81 * (Tf-22.5)
∴Tf = 30.5 °C
Answer is: reaction is second order with respect to a.
This second order reaction<span> is proportional to the square of the concentration of reactant a.
</span>rate of reaction = k[a]².
k is second order rate constant and have unit M⁻¹·s⁻¹.
Integrated rate law for this reaction: <span><span>1/[a]</span>=<span>1/<span>[a]</span></span></span>₀ <span>+ kt.
t is time in seconds..</span>
