A student constructs a coffee cup calorimeter and places 50.0 mL of water into it. After a brief period of stabilization, the te

mperature of the water in the calorimeter is determined to be 22.6 °C. To this is added 50.0 mL of water that was originally at a temperature of 54.5 °C. A careful plot of the temperatures recorded after this established the temperature at T0 was 30.31 °C. What is the calorimeter constant in J/°C for this calorimeter?

Answer:

The calorimeter constant is  = 447 J/°C

Explanation:

The heat absorbed or released (Q) by water can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c is the specific heat

m is the mass

ΔT is the change in temperature

The water that is initially in the calorimeter (w₁) absorbs heat while the water that is added (w₂) later releases heat. The calorimeter also absorbs heat.

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter (Q) can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = C × ΔT

where,

C is the calorimeter constant

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL so 50.0 mL = 50.0 g. The sum of the heat absorbed and the heat released is equal to zero (conservation of energy).

Qabs + Qrel = 0

Qabs = - Qrel

Qcal + Qw₁ = - Qw₂

Qcal = - (Qw₂ + Qw₁)

Ccal . ΔTcal = - (cw . mw₁ . ΔTw₁ + cw . mw₂ . ΔTw₂)

Ccal . (30.31°C - 22.6°C) = - [(4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 22.6°C) +  (4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 54.5°C)]

Ccal  = 447 J/°C

Bromine (Br) belongs to the halogen family. Based on the location of the halogens, how many valence electrons does bromine have?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

D. 7

Explanation:

The halogens are found in Group 7 of the Periodic Table. If Bromine is a halogen, then that means it would be found in Group 7. Also, elements in Group 7 have 7 electrons in its outer shell, Bromine would have 7 electrons in its outer shell.

When does a star reach equilibrium?
Snezhnost [94]
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence. 

<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>
