An irregular lump of an unknown metal has a measured density of 5.50 g/mL. The metal is heated to a temperature of 153 °C and pl

aced in a graduated cylinder filled with 25.0 mL of water at 25.0 °C. After the system has reached thermal equilibrium, the volume in the cylinder is read at 30.0 mL, and the temperature is recorded as 41.0 °C. What is the specific heat of the unknown metal sample? Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings.

Answer: 0.543J/g^0C

Explanation:

Volume of metal = volume of water displaced = (30.0 - 25.0) ml = 5.0 ml

Density of metal = 5.50 g/ml

Mass of metal =density\times volume =5.50\times 5.0=27.5g

Volume of water = 25.0 ml

Density of metal = 1.0 g/ml

Mass of metal =density\times volume =1.0\times 25.0=25.0g

heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}

As we know that,  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

-[m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)]=[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]         .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of metal = 27.5 g

m_2 = mass of water = 25.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?41.0^0C

T_1 = temperature of metal = 153^oC

T_2 = temperature of water = 25.0^oC

c_1 = specific heat of lead = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water= 4.184J/g^0C

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

27.5g\times c_1\times (41.0-153)^0C=[25.0g\times 4.814J/g^0C\times (41.0-25.0)^0C]

c_1=0.543J/g^0C

Thus the specific heat of the unknown metal sample is 0.543J/g^0C

10. An atom that has 13 protons and 13 electrons is a neutral aluminum (Al) atom. An atom that has 13 protons and 10 electrons i
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

An atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

For example,

Al atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The number of positive and negative charge is equal thus it will be neutral atom.

While the atom of Al which have 13 proton and 10 electron is not neutral. The positive charge is greater than negative by 3. Which means 3 electrons are lose by Al atom and form cation "Al⁺³".

Thus an atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)

bija089 [108]

Answer: B or C

Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.

What are the characteristics of different classes of chemical reactions?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

· A chemical reaction is a process generally characterized by a chemical change in which the starting materials (reactants) are different from the products. Chemical reactions tend to involve the motion of electrons, leading to the formation and breaking of chemical bonds. There are several different types of chemical reactions and more than one way of classifying them.
