How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter

Chemistry

zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

One can determine the specific heat of the metal through using the clarimeter, water, thermometer and using heat equations.

Explanation:

You can learn about heat effects and calorimetery through a simple experiment by boiling water and heating up the metal in it. Then, pour it into your calorimeter and the heat will flow from the metal to the water. The two equlibria will meet: the metal will loose heat into its surroundings (the water) and teh water will absorb the heat. The heat flow for the water is the same as it is for the metal, the only difference being is the negative sign indicating the loss of the heat of the metal.

In terms of theromdynamics, we can deteremine the heat flow for the metal becasue it would be equal to the mangnitued but opposite in direction. Thus, we can say that the specific heat of water qH2O = -qmetal.

If a penny (with the this volume .39 cm^3) was made out of pure copper, what should its mass be?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

  3.49 g

Explanation:

The mass is the product of volume and density:

  (8.96 g/cm³)(0.39 cm³) ≈ 3.49 g

The mass of a pure-copper penny would be 3.49 g.

The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv
True [87]
The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
                               A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
                       A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.

Can someone answer these two questions for me ill give brainliest
gladu [14]
Answer:
1. No
2.a. Nothing will happen to figure 1 as both the sides have 30 N.
2.b. The force with 30 N will push 10 N because 10 N is less force than 30 N.
