Miners discover a new vein of metal in the mine they are excavating. They send a sample to your lab so you can determine what ty

pe of metal it is. You heat up a 2 kg block of the unknown metal from room temperature of 298 K until it melts at 1768 K. You measure that it takes 1.24 x 10^6 J of energy to melt the block. Use the specific heats of various metals shown below to determine what metal the miners have discovered.
Aluminum: 904 J kg-1 K-1
Nickel: 445 J kg-1 K-1
Copper: 384 J kg-1 K-1
Cobalt: 421 J kg-1 K-1
Titanium: 520 J kg-1 K-1

Answer: option A. Cobalt

Explanation:

1) Data:

Q = 1.24 × 10⁶ J
m = 2 kg
Tf = 1768 K
Ti = 298 K
Cs = ?

2) Formula:

Q = m Cs ΔT
ΔT = Tf - Ti = 1,768K - 298K = 1,470K

3) Calculations:

i) Solve for Cs:

Cs = Q / [ m ΔT]

ii) Substitute the data:

Cs = 1.24 × 10⁵ J / [ 2kg (1768K - 298K) ] = 421 J / (kg K)

4) Compare with the specific heats (Cs) of the vaious metals given and you find that it is Cobalt.

What is the final concentration of cl- ion when 250 ml of 0.20 m cacl2 solution is mixed with 250 ml of 0.40 m kcl solution? (as
serious [3.7K]

CaCl2 and KCl are both salts which dissociate in water when dissolved. Assuming that the dissolution of the two salts are 100 percent, the half reactions are:

<span>CaCl2 ---> Ca2+  +  2 Cl-</span>

KCl ---> K+ + Cl-

Therefore the total Cl- ion concentration would be coming from both salts. First, we calculate the Cl- from each salt by using stoichiometric ratio:

Cl- from CaCl2 = (0.2 moles CaCl2/ L) (0.25 L) (2 moles Cl / 1 mole CaCl2)

Cl- from CaCl2 = 0.1 moles

 

Cl- from KCl = (0.4 moles KCl/ L) (0.25 L) (1 mole Cl / 1 mole KCl)

Cl- from KCl = 0.1 moles

 

Therefore the final concentration of Cl- in the solution mixture is:

Cl- = (0.1 moles + 0.1 moles) / (0.25 L + 0.25 L)

Cl- = 0.2 moles / 0.5 moles

<span>Cl- = 0.4 moles             (ANSWER)</span>

Veseljchak [2.6K]
We can use the atomic model to demonstrate the ways in which scientists refine and build off each other's findings because of the fact that once this model was created, it brought with it other models and inventions, such as the periodic table and other theories about our known universe.
