Answer:

Heat lost to the surroundings

Heat lost to the thermometer

Explanation:

All changes in heat, or energy, can be explained. Many of the reactions or changes we see in the world involve the conversion of energy. For example as we heat up a substance (eg. water), the amount of energy we put in should give us an exact temperature. However, this is a "perfect world" scenario, and does not occur in real life. Whenever heat is added to a substance like water, we always need to account for the energy that is going to be lost. For example, heat lost to evaporation or even the effect of measuring the temperature with a thermometer (the introduction of anything including a thermometer will affect the temperature).

A 33.0−g sample of an alloy at 93.00°C is placed into 50.0 g of water at 22.00°C in an insulated coffee-cup calorimeter with a h
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF THE ALLOY IS 0.9765 J/g K

Explanation:

Mass of alloy = 33 g

Initial temperature of alloy = 93°C

Mass of water = 50 g

Initail temp. of water = 22 °C

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 9.20 J/K

Final temp. = 31.10 °C

specific heat of alloy = unknown

specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g K

Heat = mass * specific heat * change in temperature = m c ΔT

Heat = heat capcity * chage in temperature = Δ H * ΔT

In calorimetry;

Heat lost by the alloy = Heat gained by water + Heat of the calorimeter

                     mc ΔT = mcΔT + Heat capacity * ΔT

33 * C * ( 93 - 31.10) = 50 * 4.2 * ( 31.10 -22) + 9.20 * ( 31.10 -22)

33 * C * 61.9 = 50 * 4.2 * 9.1 + 9.20 * 9.1

2042.7 C = 1911 + 83,72

C = 1911 + 83.72 / 2042.7

C = 1994.72 /2042.7

C =0.9765 J/g K

The specific heat of the alloy is 0.9765 J/ g K

A sample of a chromium-containing alloy weighing 3.450 g was dissolved in acid, and all the chromium in the sample was oxidized
Zina [86]

Answer:

H_2O + 2CrO_4^2- + 3SO_3^2- -> 3SO_3^2- + 2CrO_2^- + 2OH^-

Explanation:

Reduction half reaction

2H_2O + CrO_4^2- + 3e -> CrO_2^- + 4OH^-

Oxidation half reaction

2OH^- + SO_3^2- -> SO_4^2- + H_2O + 2e

Balanced overall equation

H_2O + 2CrO_4^2- + 3SO_3^2- -> 3SO_3^2- + 2CrO_2^- + 2OH^-

A certain type of material allows electricity to flow through it, but it does not flow quickly or easily through it. Is the mate
Deffense [45]
A substance through which an electrical current flows poorly would be said to be a poor conductor. That is, the substance has a low conductance (or conductivity). There’s a nuance between the two terms, but it shouldn’t matter for our purposes.

Since such a material resists the flow of electric charge, the material can be said to have a high resistance (or high resistivity).

Mathematically, resistance and conductance are reciprocals of one another; a low conductance implies a high resistance, and a high conductance implies a low resistance.
