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)

The Fischer esterification mechanism is examined in this question. The overall reaction is: Benzoic acid, C H 3 O H and H C l re
elena55 [62]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Fischer esterification is a type of reaction used  to convert carboxylic acids to ester in the presence of excess alcohol and a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. Another final product formed in the reaction is water.

The mechanism for the fischer esterification of Benzoic acid and  C H 3 O H in the presence of HCl as the catalyst is shown in the image attached to this answer.

The final products of the reaction are methyl benzoate, water and H^+ as shown in the image attached.

Help Please... giving brainliest..
WINSTONCH [101]

1) Well, you need to logically think about which of the pecan trees would be better. Tree 3 may have more clusters but they taste bitter so this is out of the option. So Tree 4 and Tree 1 would be best because they both have rich and buttery tastes and they both have a lot of clusters.

2) Not quite sure about this one, sorry :(

Assume that you have a cylinder with a movable piston. What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the f
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. The pressure will increase 4 times. P₂ = 4 P₁

B. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

C. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

Explanation:

Initially, we have n₁ moles of a gas that occupy a volume V₁ at temperature T₁ and pressure P₁.

<em>What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following?</em>

<em />

<em>Part A: Decrease the volume to one-fourth the original volume while holding the temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

V₂ = 0.25 V₁. According to Boyle's law,

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . 0.25 V₁

P₁ = P₂ . 0.25

P₂ = 4 P₁

<em>Part B: Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

T₂ = 0.5 T₁. According to Gay-Lussac's law,

\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{0.5T_{1}}\\\\P_{2}=0.5P_{1}

<em>Part C: Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

n₂ = 0.5 n₁.

P₁ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{1}=\frac{n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}

P₂ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{2}=\frac{n_{2}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{0.5n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=0.5P_{1}

What is the relationship between the ridge<br> and the age of sediment?<br> Plzzz helppp:(
leva [86]

Answer:

The sediments accumulating on and around mid-ocean ridges are mostly formed from the calcareous and siliceous tests of pelagic organisms. This research is concerned with understanding how the rate of sediment supply varies from place to place due to varied productivity of pelagic organisms, how the sediments accumulate on the complex topography of a mid-ocean ridge, and with using the sediments to study mid-ocean ridge processes such as faulting and volcanism.

Sediment transport and accumulation

When pelagic materials reach the seafloor, they are redistributed by bottom currents and by sedimentary flows. This work studied the form of the accumulation using sediment profiler records collected with a Deep Tow system from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography deployed over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the early 1970s. The records showed that both sets of transport processes are important. The shapes of deposits were studied to see to what extent they conform to the diffusion transport model - many deposits have parabolic surfaces, which are the steady state forms expected from the diffusion transport model under boundary conditions of constant input or output flux to basins.
