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

Write the formula for the conjugate base for the following acids. <br>Thank you ​
Llana [10]

Answer:

See the answer and explanation below , please.

Explanation:

A conjugate base is defined as that formed after an acid donates its proton.

For each article, a continuation of the conjugate bases (highlighted in bold), for dissociation in water:

a) HF + H20 --> F- + H30+      

b) H20+ H20 --> OH-  + H30+

C)H2PO3-  + H20--> HPO3 2-   + H30+

d) HSO4- + H20 -->  SO4 2- + H30+

E) HCL02 + H20 --> CLO02 -   + H30+

Students find the pH of Substance A to be 2.1 and Substance B to be 4.4. They are told Substance C is less acidic than Substance
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the range should be 2.2 to 4.3

Explanation:

I think so because the numbers at the left side of the scale from 1 are more acidic so as it increases it's still acidic but lesser so 1 is more acidic than 2 so I used 2.2 as the beginning of the range because it's less acidic than A even though its a greater number and 4.3 is lesser than 4.4 but its still greater on the scale. frankly speaking I don't feel so correct because it's in decimal so try and compare facts thank you
