What is the specific heat of titanium in j/(g⋅∘c) if it takes 89.7 j to raise the temperature of a 33.0 g block by 5.20 ∘c?

larisa [96]

Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of substances by 1 degree celsius . Therefore specific heat capacity for tatanium is 89.7j /( 33.0g x5.2 degree celsius) = 0.52j/g degree celcius
Molar mass for tatanium is 47.9 g/mole
heat is therefore 47.9 g/mole x 0.52j/g =24.9j/mole

What is the pH of a solution with an [H+] = 4.73x10^-7 M

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is pH = 6.3

Explanation:

Data

pH = ?

[H⁺] = 4.73 x 10⁻⁷ M

pH is the measure of the concentration of [H⁺]. pH measures the acidity of the solution. If the value of pH is between 0 and 6.9, the solution is an acid. If the pH is 7.0 the solution is neutral and if the pH is between 7.1 and 14, the solution is an alkali.

Formula

pH = -log[H⁺]

Substitution

pH = -log[4.73 x 10⁻⁷]

-Simplification

pH = - (-6.3)

-Result

pH = 6.3

Explain how the relative atomic mass and the mass number of elements are different and hence why some elements have relative ato

padilas [110]

This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

In a 0.730 M solution, a weak acid is 12.5% dissociated. Calculate Ka of the acid.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Approximately $1.30 \times 10^{-2}$ , assuming that this acid is monoprotic.

Explanation:

Assume that this acid is monoprotic. Let $\rm HA$ denote this acid.

$\rm HA \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + A^{-}$ .

Initial concentration of $\rm HA$ without any dissociation:

$[{\rm HA}] = 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

After $12.5\%$ of that was dissociated, the concentration of both $\rm H^{+}$ and $\rm A^{-}$ (conjugate base of this acid) would become:

$12.5\% \times 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

Concentration of $\rm HA$ in the solution after dissociation:

$(1 - 12.5\%) \times 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.63875\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}$ .

Let $[{\rm HA}]$ , $[{\rm H}^{+}]$ , and $[{\rm A}^{-}]$ denote the concentration (in $\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ or $\rm M$ ) of the corresponding species at equilibrium. Calculate the acid dissociation constant $K_{\rm a}$ for $\rm HA$ , under the assumption that this acid is monoprotic:

$\begin{aligned}K_{\rm a} &= \frac{[{\rm H}^{+}] \cdot [{\rm A}^{-}]}{[{\rm HA}]} \\ &= \frac{(0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}) \times (0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1})}{0.63875\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}}\\[0.5em]&\approx 1.30 \times 10^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .
