A 225 g sample of an unknown solid is heated 67C and placed into a calorimeter containing 25.6 g of water at 15.6°c. If the fina

l temperature of the solid sample and the water is 53°C, what is the specific heat of the solid?​

Answer:

= 1.271 J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat released by the metal sample will be equivalent to the heat absorbed by  water.

But heat = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change

Thus;

Heat released by the solid;

= 225 g × c ×(67 -53) , where c is the specific heat capacity of the metal

= 3150 c joules

Heat absorbed by water;

= 25.6 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (53-15.6)

= 4002.0992  joules

Therefore;

3150 c joules = 4002.0992 joules

c =4002.0992/3150

 <u> = 1.271 J/g°C</u>

Is the following compound symmetrical going across?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A molecule has a center of symmetry when, for any atom in the molecule, an identical atom exists diametrically opposite this center an equal distance from it(Wikipedia).

A center of symmetry is said to exist in a molecule when reflection of all parts of the molecule through the center of symmetry produces an indistinguishable configuration(Housecroeft and Sharpe,2012)

Obviously, the Cl2 molecule has a center of symmetry, hence it is symmetrical. Reflection of the molecules through its center of symmetry produces an indistinguishable configuration.
