Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The specific heat is  c_b  = 0.402 J / g \cdot ^oC

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of  the sample is  m = 54.4 \ g

     The mass of the water is  m_w = 150.0 \ g

     The initial temperature of the sample is  T_i  = 95.1 ^oC

     The initial temperature of the water is  T_{w_i} =  15^oC

     The final temperature of the water is  T  =  17.6 ^oC

Note the final temperature of water is equal to the final temperature of brass sample

    The pressure is  P =1 \ atm

Generally for according to the law of energy conservation

    The heat lost by sample  =  The heat gain by water

   

The heat lost by brass sample is  mathematically evaluated as    

          H_L  =  m * c_b  *  [T_i - T]

Where c_b is the specific neat of the brass sample

The heat gained  by water is  mathematically evaluated as          

        H_g  = m_w *c_w * [T_w - T ]

where c_w is the specific heat of water which has a constant value of  

     c_w =  4.186  joule/gram

So

    H_L  =  H_g \ \equiv m* c_b  * [T_i -T] =  m_w * c_w * [T - T_w]

substituting values

    52.4 * c_b  * [95.1  - 17.6] =  150 * 4.186 * [ 17.6 - 15.0]

    c_b  = 0.402 J / g \cdot ^oC

ASAP<br>what is an electron cloud ​
Bad White [126]

Explanation:

An electron cloud is the region of space that surrounds the nucleus of an atom under the nucleus of the negatively charged sub-atomic particles.

  • An atoms is made up of some particles.
  • The proton is positively charged and it is located in the nucleus of an atom.
  • The neutrons do not carry any charges and occupies the nucleus with protons.
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles outside the nucleus.
  • The electron cloud is portion of an atom with greatest probability of finding an electron.

if 334.6 g of phosphoric acid is reacted with excess potassium hydroxide. the final mass K3PO4 produced is found to be 248g. wha
Orlov [11]

Answer:

                     %age Yield  =  34.21 %

Explanation:

                   The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of KClO₃ is as follow;

                            3 KOH + H₃PO₄ → K₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O

Step 1: Calculate moles of H₃PO₄ as;

Moles = Mass / M/Mass

Moles = 334.6 g / 97.99 g/mol

Moles = 3.414 moles

Step 2: Find moles of K₃PO₄ as;

According to equation,

                 1 moles of H₃PO₄ produces  =  1 moles of K₃PO₄

So,

              3.414 moles of H₃PO₄ will produce  =  X moles of K₃PO₄

Solving for X,

                      X = 1 mol × 3.414 mol / 1 mol

                      X = 3.414 mol of K₃PO₄

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical yield of K₃PO₄ as,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 3.414 mol × 212.26 g/mol

Mass = 724.79 g of K₃PO₄

Also,

%age Yield  =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

%age Yield  =  248 g / 724.79 × 100

%age Yield  =  34.21 %
