Answer:

Specific heat of copper = 0.385 J/(gi°C)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of copper (m) = 200 g =

Initial temperature (T1) = 20°C

Final temperature (T2) = 40°C

Heat needed (Q) = 1,540 J

Find:

Specific heat of copper = ?

Computation:

⇒ Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 - T1

⇒ Change in temperature (ΔT) = 40°C - 20°C

⇒ Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20°C

⇒ Specific heat of copper = Q / [mΔT]

⇒ Specific heat of copper = 1,540 / [(200)(20)]

Specific heat of copper = 0.385 J/(gi°C)

Describe the reactions during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell. Group of answer choices Oxygen and hydrogen are
Ann [662]

Answer:

Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

The corresponding half-reactions are:

2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻

2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻

Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.

Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.

When 2.00 g of methane are burned in a bomb calorimeter, the change in temperature is 3.08°C. The heat capacity of the calorimet
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.

q=c\times \Delta T

where,

q = Heat gained = ?

c = Specific heat = 2.68 kJ/^oC

ΔT =  The change in temperature = 3.08°C

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=2.68 kJ/^oC\times 3.08^oC

q=8.2544 kJ

Now we have to calculate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance :

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H_{comb} = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 8.2544kJ

n = number of moles methane = \frac{\text{Mass of methane}}{\text{Molar mass of methane }}=\frac{2.00 g}{16.042 g/mol}=0.1247 mole

\Delta H_{comb}=-\frac{8.2544 kJ}{0.1247 mole}=-66.21 kJ/mole\approx -66 kJ/mole

Therefore,  the approximate molar enthalpy of combustion of this substance is -66 kJ/mole.

How many ATOMS of boron are present in 3.61 grams of boron trifluoride ?
Delvig [45]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{3.203 *  10^{22} atoms}

We can use the following conversions to solve:

Total mass --> amount of mols --> amount of atoms (Avogadro's number)

Begin by calculating the amount of boron trifluoride in 3.61 grams:

3.61 g * (1 mol BF₃ / 67.8 g) ≈ 0.0532 mol BF₃

Use avogadro's number to convert:

0.0532 mol * 6.02× 10²³atoms / 1 mol = 3.203 × 10²² atoms
