The molar volume of any ideal gas at STP condition is 22.4 L
3.20 mol x 22.4L / 1 mol = 71.68 L = 71.7 L
Answer:
Specific heat of metal = 0.26 j/g.°C
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sample = 80.0 g
Initial temperature = 55.5 °C
Final temperature = 81.75 °C
Amount of heat absorbed = 540 j
Specific heat of metal = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 81.75 °C - 55.5 °C
ΔT = 26.25 °C
540 j = 80 g × c × 26.25 °C
540 j = 2100 g.°C× c
540 j / 2100 g.°C = c
c = 0.26 j/g.°C
Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Your experiment tests whether your prediction is accurate and thus your hypothesis is supported or not. It is important for your experiment to be a fair test.
