A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

Answer:

1.717 J/g °C  ( third option)

Explanation:

A piece of the unknown metal dropped into water this means that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

<u>Step 1: writing the formulas:</u>

Q = mc∆T

⇒ -Q(metal) = Q(water)   Because :Metal dropped into water this means that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water.

<em>We can write the formula different :</em>

Mass of metal * (cmetal)(ΔT) = Mass of water *(cwater) (ΔT)

⇒ Here c is the specific heat and depends on material and phase

<em>For this case :</em>

mass of the metal  = 68.6g

mass of the water = 42g

Specific heat of the metal = TO BE DETERMINED

Specific heat of the water = 4.184J/g °C

Initial temperature of the metal = 100 °C  ⇒ Change of temperature: 52.1 - 100

Initial temperature of the water = 20°C  ⇒ Change of temperature:  52.1 - 20

<u />

<u>Step 2: Calculating specific heat of the metal</u>

-(Mass of metal) * (cmetal)*(ΔT)) = (Mass of water) *(cwater)*(ΔT)

-68.6g (cmetal)(52.1 - 100) = 42g (4.184j/g °C) (52.1 - 20)

-68.6g *cmetal * (-47.9) = 42g (4.184j/g °C) *(32.1)

3285.94 * cmetal = 5640.87

cmetal = 5640.87 / 3285.94 = 1,71667 J/g °C

cMetal = 1.717 J/g °C

Carbon is important to the structure of macromolecules because it has a valence of 4. what does this mean?
gogolik [260]
The valence part is referring to the outer most ring of electrons.  Carbon only has four on the 'valence' or outer most ring helping it to form bonds with other things.  I hope this helps!! Good Luck!!! :)

Calculate (a) the number of moles of hydrogen required to react with 0.0969 moles of nitrogen, and (b) the number of moles of am
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

moles H=?

moles of N = 0.0969

moles of NH₃=?

                            N₂ (g)  + 3 H₂ (g)  ⇒   2NH₃ (g)

Process

1.- Set a rule of three to calculate the moles of hydrogen

                         1 mol of nitrogen  -------------   3 moles of hydrogen

                         0.0969 moles of N ----------     x

                         x = (0.0969 x 3) / 1

                         x = 0.2907 moles of hydrogen          

2.- Set a rule of three to calculate the moles of ammonia

                        1 mol of nitrogen --------------  2 moles of ammonia

                        0.0969 mol of N --------------   x

                        x = (0.0969 x 2) / 1

                        x = 0.1938 moles of ammonia

Based on the kinetic molecular theory (KMT), which statement is true?
nataly862011 [7]

Statement 1 is false because heat is the movement of molecules.

Statement 2 is true because matter is composed of elementary particles which are VERY small.

Statement 3 is false because the kinetic energy of a particle determines its heat and it is impossible for a particle to be completely motionless.

Statement 4 is false because neutrons do not have a charge and make up a large portion of all matter.
