A 80.0 g piece of metal at 88.0°C is placed in 125 g of water at 20.0°C contained in a calorimeter. The metal and water come to

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.485 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of the piece of metal = 80.0 grams

Mass of the water = 125 grams

Initial temperature of the metal = 88.0 °C

Initial temperature of water =20.0 °C

Final temperature = 24.7 °C

pecific heat of water is 4.18 J/g*°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate specific heat of the metal

Qgained = -Qlost

Q =m*c*ΔT

Qwater = - Qmetal

m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water) = -m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal)

with mass of water = 125 grams

with c( water) = 4.18 J/g°C

with ΔT(water) = T2-T1 = 24.7 - 20 = 4.7°C

with mass of metal = 80.0 grams

with c(metal) = TO BE DETERMINED

with ΔT(metal) = 24.7 - 88.0 = -63.3 °C

125*4.18*4.7 = -80 * C(metal) * -63.3

2455.75 = -80 * C(metal) * -63.3

C(metal) = 2455.75 / (-80*-63.3)

C(metal) = 0.485 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.485 J/g°C

What is the formula for manganese (ii) fluoride decahydrate? (you may use a * to represent the dot in the formula.)?

Rasek [7]

These types of molecules are called hydrates. They have a certain number of moles attached to the salt. Their characteristic is being hygroscopic. That means that when they are exposed to air, they readily solvate.

The formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate will involve the formula Mn, F and H₂O. In ionic form, Manganese is Mn⁺² while fluoride is in F⁻. When they are brought together, their superscripts are 'cross-multiplied' and becomes their respective subscripts. The compound becomes MnF₂. Then, we add the decahydrate which means 10 moles of H₂O. Hence, the formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate is MnF₂*10H₂O.

What kinds of features would you expect to see at the edges of two plates, like these that are moving apart at their boundary?

Harman [31]

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. Hope this helps! :D

what happen when carbon dioxide is passed through water for short time and for long time?explain with chemical reaction.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Expert Verified

Explanation:

For short duration: ... When excess of carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water then the white precipitate calcium carbonate formed first dissolves due to the formation of a soluble salt calcium hydrogen carbonate (Ca(HCO3)2, and the Solution becomes clear again
