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

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell.
irinina [24]

Answer:

C: 4

H: 1

Mg: 2

O : 6

Explanation:

You can quickly find out the number of valence electrons by looking at where the element is on the periodic table and referring to the table that is attached.

Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter
ANTONII [103]
The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture. 

For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

50 POINTS!!!!!!!
KATRIN_1 [288]
We could reduce soil erosion and recycle phosphorus from farm and human waste so that we could help make food production sustainable and prevent algae blooms. We can also do land reclamation as well to help solve this problem. With the land, we would have to design a system to where the land could be functional again in order to plant crops, trees, also to help the wildlife that was once a part of the island. Therefore if the design is done before the mining then afterward we can do the reclamation of the land which would help the people to be able to function after the mining. It would also help the future generations that come along after the previous generations. Everyone must work together in the process in order for everyone to survive. If all this is done then the people of the island would not have to import their food. The reclamation process is the most important thing that has to be designed first whether it is land, soil, water, lakes, and clay then after plant trees, vegetation, and other forms of plants to help replenish the land after the mining is done.

I hope I helped :3
