A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she tried the

following experiment. First she measured the mass of the metal to be 385.8 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 17.8 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal. Density = _______ g/mL Use the table below to decide the identity of the metal. This metal is most likely _________.
substances density g/cm3
water 1.00
aluminium 2.72
chromium 7.25
nickel 8.91
silver 10.50
lead 11.34

1. 21.67g/ml

2. aluminium

Explanation:

1. density = mass/volume

385.8/17.8= 21.67ml

2. 1g/ml=0.1g/cm^3

21.67g/ml = 2.167g/cm^3

..... substance is probably aluminium

What is the solubility in moles/liter for silver chloride at 25 oC given a Ksp value of 1.6 x 10-10. Write using scientific nota
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

AgCl      ⇄       Ag⁺       +       Cl⁻

m                       m                   m

If x mole of AgCl be dissolved in one litre .

[ Ag⁺ ] [ Cl⁻ ] = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m² =  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles

So solubility of AgCl is 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles / L

Based on the activity series, which metals could X represent in the reaction below? (Note: The equation is not balanced.)
Nikitich [7]
Answer is: A) Sr (strontium).
The reactivity series<span> is a series of metals from highest to lowest reactivity.</span><span> Metal higher in the reactivity series will displace another.
</span>Strontium is only higher in this group from magnesium. Strontium is stronger reducing agent than magnesium, gives electrons easier.

sergey [27]

Answer:

After Eris was discovered, they had to decide whether Eris was a planet or not. If they decided it wasn't a planet, they had to also decide whether Pluto should be counted as a planet since Eris and Pluto were quite similar. They were the same size, and they were both part of the Kuiper Belt.

What is the quantity of heat (in kJ) associated with cooling 185.5 g of water from 25.60°C to ice at -10.70°C?Heat Capacity of S
Cerrena [4.2K]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, sensible heat and latent heat,  the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

<h3>Sensible heat</h3>

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

<h3>Latent heat</h3>

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

  • <u><em>25.60 °C to 0 °C</em></u>

First of all, you should know that the freezing point of water is 0°C. That is, at 0°C, water freezes and turns into ice.

So, you must lower the temperature from 25.60°C (in liquid state) to 0°C, in order to supply heat without changing state (sensible heat).

The amount of heat a body receives or transmits is determined by:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

  • c= Heat Capacity of Liquid= 4.184 \frac{J}{gC}
  • m= 185.5 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 0 °C - 25.60 °C= - 25.6 °C

Replacing:

Q1= 4.184 \frac{J}{gC}× 185.5 g× (- 25.6 °C)

Solving:

<u><em>Q1= -19,868.98 J</em></u>

  • <u><em>Change of state</em></u>

The heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q = m×L

where L is called the latent heat of the substance and depends on the type of phase change.

In this case, you know:

n= 185.5 grams× \frac{1mol}{18 grams}= 10.30 moles, where 18 \frac{g}{mol} is the molar mass of water, that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

ΔHfus= 6.01 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Replacing:

Q2= 10.30 moles×6.01 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Solving:

<u><em>Q2=61.903 kJ= 61,903 J</em></u>

  • <u><em>0 °C to -10.70 °C</em></u>

Similar to sensible heat previously calculated, you know:

  • c = Heat Capacity of Solid = 2.092 \frac{J}{gC}
  • m= 185.5 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= -10.70 °C - 0 °C= -10.70 °C

Replacing:

Q3= 2.092 \frac{J}{gC} × 185.5 g× (-10.70) °C

Solving:

<u><em>Q3= -4,152.3062 J</em></u>

<h3>Total heat required</h3>

The total heat required is calculated as:  

Total heat required= Q1 + Q2 +Q3

Total heat required=-19,868.98 J + 61,903 J -4,152.3062 J

<u><em>Total heat required= 37,881.7138 J= 37.8817138 kJ= 37.88 kJ</em></u>

In summary, the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.
