A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The

calorimeter and the water have a combined mass of 250.0 g and an overall specific heat of 1.035 cal/g•°C. The initial temperature of the calorimeter is 10.00°C. The system reaches a final temperature of 11.08°C when the metal is added.

First, in order to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in help in identifying it, we must find the heat absorbed by the calorimeter using:
Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature
Q = 250 * 1.035 * (11.08 - 10)
Q = 279.45 cal/g

Next, we use the same formula for the metal as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heal released by the metal.

-279.45 = 50 * c * (11.08 - 45) [minus sign added as energy released]
c = 0.165

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.165 cal/gC

Why is time plotted on the x axis and distance on the y axis?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Because time is independent of distance, and distance is dependent of time.

Explanation:

Usually, on any graph, the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis and the dependent variable is plotted on the y-axis. Because of this, time, which is independent (time happens regardless of any other factor), is on the x-axis while distance, which is the dependent variable (can only take place in time), is on the y-axis.

A person's heartbeat is 68 beats per minute. If his/her heart beats 3.1e9 times in a lifetime, how long (in whole years) does th
kari74 [83]
To determine the number of years for a person to live, we can divide the total number of beats in a lifetime to the number of beats per minute. We first need to check if the units are similar so we can cancel them. We do as follows:

3.1x10^9 beats / 68 beats per minute = 45588235.29 minutes ( 1hr / 60 min ) ( 1 day/24hr) ( 1 year / 365 days ) = 87 years

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice  day.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction of fluorine gas with bromine gas at 300 K is 54.7 and the reaction is: Br2(g) + F2(g)
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.024 M

Explanation:

First we use an ICE table:

      Br₂(g)     +     F₂(g)    ⇔       2 BrF(g)

I      0.111 M          0.111 M                0

C      -x                   -x                      2 x

E      0.111 -x          0.111-x                2x

Then, we replace the concentrations of reactants and products in the Kc expression as follows:

Kc= \frac{[BrF ]^{2} }{[ F_{2} ][Br_{2}  ]}

Kc= \frac{(2x)^{2} }{(0.111-x)(0.111-x)}

54.7= \frac{4x^{2} }{(0.111-x)^{2} }

We can take the square root of each side of the equation and we obtain:

7.395= \frac{2x}{(0.111-x)}

0.111(7.395) - 7.395x= 2x

0.82 - 7.395x= 2x

0.82= 2x + 7.395x

⇒ x= 0.087

From the x value we can obtain the concentrations in the equilibrium:

[F₂]= [Br₂]= 0.111 -x= 0.111 - 0.087= 0.024 M

[BrF]= 2x= 2 x (0.087)= 0.174 M

So, the concentration of fluorine (F₂) at equilibrium is 0.024 M.
