Answer:

The metal has a specific heat of 0.34333 J / g °C

Explanation:

The amount of heat lost by the metal is equal to the amount heat won by the water

q(lost, metal) = q(gained, water)

<u>Step 1: Given data</u>

q = m*ΔT *Cp

⇒with m = mass of the substance

⇒with ΔT = change in temp = final temperature T2 - initial temperature T1

⇒with Cp = specific heat (Cpwater = 4.184J/g °C) (Cpmetam = TO BE DETERMINED)

mass of the metal = 68.6g

mass of the water = 8.4g

initial temperature metal = 100°C

final temperature metal = 52.1°C

initial temperature water = 20°C

final temperature water = 52.1 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g °C

<u>Step 2</u>:

For this situation : we get for q = m*ΔT *Cp

q(lost, metal) = q(gained, water)

- mass of metal(ΔT)(Cpmetal) = mass of water (ΔT) (Cpwater)

-68.6 * (52.1 - 100) * Cpmetal = 8.4g * (52.1 - 20) * 4.184 J /g °C

-68.6 * (-47.9) * Cpmetal = 1128.17

Cpmetal = 1128.17 / (-68.6 *-47.9) = 0.34333 J / g °C

The metal has a specific heat of 0.34333 J / g °C

For each pair; which has higher kinetic energy?
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to its motion. Whereas energy obtained by an object due to its position is known as potential energy.

(a)   When a sled is resting at the top of a hill then it means the sled in not moving. Hence, then it has only potential energy. But when a sled sliding down the hill  then it is moving from its initial position.

Hence, when a sled is sliding down the hill then it has higher kinetic energy.

(b)    When water is above the dam then it only has potential energy but when the water falls over the dam then it has higher kinetic energy.

A sample of 0.600 mol of a metal m reacts completely with excess fluorine to form 46.8 g of mf2. how many moles of f are in the
oksian1 [2.3K]
The balanced chemical reaction is expressed as:

M + F2 = MF2

To determine the moles of the element fluorine present in the product, we need to determine the moles of the product formed from the reaction and relate this value to the ratio of the elements in MF2. We do as follows:

moles MF2 produced = 0.600 mol M ( 1 mol MF2 / 1 mol M ) = 0.600 mol MF2
molar mass MF2 = 46.8 g MF2 / 0.6 mol MF2 = 78 g/mol
moles MF2 = 46.8 g ( 1 mol / 78 g ) = 0.6 mol
moles F = 0.6 mol MF2 ( 2 mol F / 1 mol MF2 ) = 1.2 moles F
