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)

Step 1: Given data

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

Step 2:

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

STRUCTURE OF BROMOUS ACID: H–O–Br=O

In this structure, all the elements have a formal charge of zero. The formal charge of each element is calculated below: 

H: 1 – 1/2(2) – 0 = 0
O: 6 – 1/2(4) – 4 = 0
Br: 7 – 1/2(6) – 4 = 0
O: 6 – 1/2(4) – 4 = 0

In systemic tissue fluids, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction co2 + h2o → h2co3 (which then can dissociate int

NeTakaya

It is achievable for the same enzyme to catalyze reverse reactions for the reason that the direction of a reversible reaction is determined by the concentrations of reactants and products. In pulmonary circulation, the low CO2 concentration supports the making of CO2 and H2O.

How are Kelvin scale and celcius scale similar

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale. The difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees in each, so that the kelvin has the same magnitude as the degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Celsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as a unit increment to indicate a temperature interval(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death.

K = °C + 273.15

°C = K − 273.15

Until 1954, 0 °C on the Celsius scale was defined as the melting point of ice and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water under a pressure of one standard atmosphere; this close equivalence is taught in schools today. However, the unit “degree Celsius” and the Celsius scale are currently, by international agreement, defined by two different points: absolute zero, and the triple point of specially prepared water. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which is the SI base unit of temperature (symbol: K). Absolute zero—the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance—is defined as being precisely 0 K and −273.15 °C. The triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 °C.
