Cork floats in water because the cork weighs less than the amount of water that it would have to push up to sink. This basically says that since cork is less dense than water, it floats.

How much energy is required when a 142.1 gram sample of aluminum goes from 25.5°C to 46°C? (the specific heat of aluminum is 0.9
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

2621.75 j heat is required to increase the temperature 25.5°C to 46°C.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 142.1 g

Initial temperature = 25.5°C

Final temperature = 46°C

Specific heat capacity of Al = 0.90 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 46°C - 25.5°C

ΔT = 20.5°C

Q = 142.1 × 0.90 J/g.°C × 20.5°C

Q = 2621.75 j

Thus,  2621.75 j heat is required to increase the temperature 25.5°C to 46°C.

If 0.200 moles of NO are produced, how many moles of copper (I) nitrate produced?
Nadusha1986 [10]
Al(NO3)3 + 3KOH -------> 3KNO3 + Al(OH)3

50 ml * .2 moles/ liter = .01 Moles of Al(NO3)3

200 ml * .1 moles/liter = .02 Moles of KOH

Since the ratio between the two reactants according to the chemical equation is 1:3, we would need .03 moles of one to fully react with .01 moles of the other. Since we don't, only 1/150 mole of the first reactant will react with the .02 moles of the second reactant. This will produce .02 moles of KNO3 as well as .01 moles of Al(OH)3

.02 moles KNO3 = .02(48 grams + 14 grams + 40 grams) = .02(102 grams) = 2.04 grams
