From the equation q=mCΔT, set the q of copper = to q of water,

So --- mCΔT(copper)=mCΔT(water).

mass (Cu - copper) = 38g
mass (H2O - water) = 15g
C (H2O) = 4.184 J/g*C
ΔΤ (H2O) = 33-22 = 11*C
ΔΤ (Cu) = 33-80 = -47*C (the final temp is the same for both materials - thermal equilibrium)
C (Cu) = ?

So --- 38(-47)C[Cu]=15(4.184)(11)
     --- C[Cu]=690.36/(-1786) = 0.3865 J/g*C, or 0.39 in 2 sig figs. (The negative goes away, because specific heats are usually positive)

What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 11?
Lostsunrise [7]
Answer:
a) 1 x 10^-11 mol/L
b) 1 x 10^-6 mol/L
c) 1 x 10^-5 fewer H+ ions

Explanation

pH stands for Power of Hydrogen, the more acidic a substance is, the more H+ ions it has rendering the substance acidic. a pH of 1 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-1. A pH of 7 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-7 and so on.

10^-11 has 10^-5 more H+ ions than 10^-6

Hope this helps :)

A piece of iron is heated to 95.0 celsius and then placed in an insulated vessel containing 250. grams of water at 25.0 celsius.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

c) 387g

Explanation:

Water;

Mass = 250g

Specific heat = 4.184

Initial Temp, T1 = 25 + 273 = 298K

Final Temp, T2 = 35 + 273 = 308K

Heat = ?

H = mc(T2 - T1)

H = 250 * 4.184 (308 - 298)

H = 10460 J

Iron;

Initial Temp, T2 = 95 + 273 = 368K (Upon converting to kelvin temperature)

Mass = ?

Final Temp, T1 = 35 + 273 = 308

Heat = 10460 (Heat lost by iron is qual to heat gained by water)

Specific heat = 0.45

H = mc(T2-T1)

M = 10460 / [0.45 (308 - 368)]

M = 10460 / 27

M = 387g
