A 40.2 g sample of a metal heated to 99.3°C is placed into a calorimeter containing 120 g of water at 21.8°C. The final temper

ature of the water is 24.5°C. Which of the following might be the metal that was used?
A) Aluminum (c=0.89J/g°C)
B) Iron (c=0.45J/g°C)
C) Copper (0.20J/g°C)
D) Lead (c=0.14J/g°C)

Answer:

B) Iron (c=0.45 J/g°C)

Explanation:

Given that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by metal

Thus,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_f-T_i)

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_i-T_f)

For water:

Mass = 120 g

Initial temperature = 21.8 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For metal:

Mass = 40.2 g

Initial temperature = 99.3 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of metal = ?

So,  

120\times 4.184\times (24.5-21.8)=40.2\times C_{metal}\times (99.3-24.5)

40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=120\times \:2.7\times \:4.184

40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=1355.616

C_{metal}=0.45\ J/g^0C

<u>This value corresponds to iron. Thus answer is B.</u>

In a titration, 4.7 g of an acid (HX) requires 32.6 mL of 0.54 M NaOH(aq) for complete reaction. What is the molar mass of the a
katrin2010 [14]

Answer : The molar mass of an acid is 266.985 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Mass of an acid (HX) = 4.7 g

Volume of NaOH = 32.6 ml = 0.0326 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.54 M = 0.54 mole/L

First we have to calculate the moles of NaOH.

\text{Moles of }NaOH=\text{Molarity of }NaOH\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.54mole/L\times 0.0326L=0.017604mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of an acid.

In the titration, the moles of an acid will be equal to the moles of NaOH.

Moles of an acid = Moles of NaOH = 0.017604 mole

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of and acid.

\text{Moles of an acid}=\frac{\text{Mass of an acid}}{\text{Molar mass of an acid}}

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

0.017604mole=\frac{4.7g}{\text{Molar mass of an acid}}

\text{Molar mass of an acid}=266.985g/mole

Therefore, the molar mass of an acid is 266.985 g/mole

A solution is prepared by dissolving 23.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the
alekssr [168]
<span>The density of the solution =1.05 g/ml.
</span><span>The total mass of the resulting solution is = 398.7 g (CaCl2 + water)
</span>
Find moles of CaCl2 and water.
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 110 (approx.)

Moles of CaCl2 = 23.7 / 110  = 0.22
so, moles of Cl- ion = 2 x 0.22 = 0.44  (because each molecule of CaCl2 will give two Cl- ions)
Moles of water = 375 / 18 = 20.83

Now, Mole fraction of CaCl2 =  (moles of CaCl2) / (total moles)

total moles = moles of Cl- ions + moles of Ca2+ ions + moles of water

                  = 0.44 + 0.22 + 20.83

=21.49


So, mole fraction = 0.44 / (21.49) = 0.02

Guess what !!! density is not used. No need
