Answer:
first of all is that really chemistry
The heat lost by the metal should be equal to the heat
gained by the water. We know that the heat capacity of water is simply 4.186 J
/ g °C. Therefore:
100 g * 4.186 J / g °C * (31°C – 25.1°C) = 28.2 g * Cp *
(95.2°C - 31°C)
<span>Cp = 1.36 J / g °C</span>
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:
Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr]
HOBr = 0.50 M
KOBr = 0.30 M = OBr-
<span> HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I 0.50 - 0 0.30 </span>
<span>C -x x x
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x) x (0.30+x) </span>
<span>Assuming that the value of x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>
<span>Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = x (0.30) / 0.50) </span>
<span>x = 3.33 x 10^-9 = H+</span>
pH = 8.48
