307 g of an unknown mineral is heated to 98.7 °C and placed into a calorimeter that contains 72.4 g of water at 23.6 °C. The hea

t capacity of the empty calorimeter was 15.7 J/K. The final temperature of the calorimeter was 32.4 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of the mineral in J/gK?

Answer:

0.138 J/g.K

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released bt he mineral and the heats absorbed by the water and the calorimeter is equal to zero.

Qm + Qw + Qc = 0

Qm = - Qw - Qc   [1]

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter can be calculated using the following expression.

Q = C . ΔT

where,

C is the heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

The heat released by the mineral and the one absorbed by the water can be calculated using the following expression.

Q = c . m . ΔT

where,

c is the specific heat capacity

m is the mass

ΔT is the change in temperature

Replacing in [1],

Qm = -Qw - Qc\\c_{m}.m_{m}.\Delta T_{m}=-c_{w}.m_{w}.\Delta T_{w}-C_{c}.\Delta T_{c}\\c_{m}=\frac{-c_{w}.m_{w}.\Delta T_{w}-C_{c}.\Delta T_{c}}{m_{m}.\Delta T_{m}} \\c_{m}=\frac{-(4.18J/g.K).(72.4g).(305.4K-296.6K)-(15.7J/K).(305.4K-296.6K) }{(307g).(305.4K-371.7K)} \\c_{m}=0.138J/g.K

A molecule with the formula ab3 has a trigonal planar geometry. part a how many electron groups are on the central atom?
True [87]
<span>Answer: 3 electron pairs Let's take BF3 for an example. When you find the valence electrons for this molecule --> [3+(3x6)], you'll get 24e-. You draw the Lewis dot structure and each of the F atom would have six dots around it (a total of 18 because there's 3 F atoms) and the B would have three lines [one line attached to each F. One line would equal to 2 valence electrons] and you get a total of 24 valence e-. The question asks how many groups are on the CENTRAL atom, meaning on the B. It would be three</span>

How many atoms of gold are in 112 grams of gold?
ikadub [295]
Atomic <span>mass gold  = 196.96 u.m.a

196.96 g ------------------ 6.02x10</span>²³ atoms
112 g ---------------------- ( atoms)

atoms = 112 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 196.96

atoms = 6.74x10²⁵ / 196.96

= 3.42x10²³ atoms

hope this helps!

iodide-131 decays with half life of 8.02 d. In a Sample initially containing 5.00 mg of I 131, what mass remains after 6.01 d?
Genrish500 [490]
You can use the equation f(t) = 5*(1/2)^(t/8.02)

Then plug in 6.01 for time.There remains 2.97 mg in the sample.
