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)

Answer:

Explanation:

a = 40.1 g of Ca

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 40.1 g/ 40.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

b = 11.5 g Na

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 11.5 g/ 23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

c = 5.87 g Ni

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 5.87 g/ 58.7 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

d = 150 g of S

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 150 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 4.7 mol

e = 2.65 g Fe

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 2.65 g/ 55.85 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

f = 0.00750 g Ag

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 0.00750 g/ 107.9 g/mol

Number of moles = 6.95 × 10⁻⁵ mol

g = 2.25 × 10²⁵ atoms Zn

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms × 2.25 × 10²⁵ atoms

0.17  × 2.25 × 10²⁵ moles

38.25 moles

h = 50 atoms of Ba

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms ×50 atoms

0.17 × 10²³ × 50 moles

8.5 × 10²³ moles

A standard solution of FeSCN2+ is prepared by combining 9.0 mL of 0.20 M Fe(NO3)3 with 1.0 mL of 0.0020 M KSCN . The standard so
Xelga [282]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of SCN^- in the trial solution is 4.58\times 10^{-8}M

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial moles of Fe^{3+} and SCN^-.

\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=\text{Concentration of }Fe^{3+}\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=0.20M\times 9.0mL=1.8mmol

and,

\text{Moles of }SCN^-=\text{Concentration of }SCN^-\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }SCN^-=0.0020M\times 1.0mL=0.0020mmol

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe^{3+}(aq)+SCN^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons FeSCN^{2+}(aq)

Since 1 mole of Fe^{3+} reacts with 1 mole of SCN^- to give 1 mole of FeSCN^{2+}

The limiting reagent is, SCN^-

So, the number of moles of FeSCN^{2+} = 0.0020 mmole

Now we have to calculate the concentration of FeSCN^{2+}.

\text{Concentration of }FeSCN^{2+}=\frac{0.0020mmol}{9.0mL+1.0mL}=0.00020M

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

A=\epsilon \times C\times l

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

\epsilon = molar absorptivity coefficient

\epsilon and l are same for stock solution and dilute solution. So,

\epsilon l=\frac{A}{C}=\frac{0.480}{0.00020M}=2400M^{-1}

For trial solution:

The equilibrium concentration of SCN^- is,

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]

[SCN^-]_{initial} = 0.00050 M

Now calculate the [FeSCN^{2+}].

C=\frac{A}{\epsilon l}=\frac{0.220}{2400M^{-1}}=9.17\times 10^{-5}M

Now calculate the concentration of SCN^-.

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=(0.00050M)-(9.17\times 10^{-5}M)

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=4.58\times 10^{-8}M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of SCN^- in the trial solution is 4.58\times 10^{-8}M
