A 73.6 g sample of aluminum is heated to 95.0°C and dropped into 100.0 g of water at 20.0°C. If the resulting temperature of the
Softa [21]

Answer:

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.875 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The mass of the aluminium sample = 73.6 grams

Initial temperature of the sample = 95.0 °C

Mass of water = 100.0 grams

Initial temperature of water = 20.0 °C

Final temperature of water and aluminium = 30.0 °C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of aluminium

Q gained = Q lost

Qwater = -Qaluminium

Q =  m*c*ΔT

m(aluminium) * c(aluminium) * ΔT(aluminium) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(aluminium)

⇒ mass of aluminium = 73.6 grams

⇒ c(aluminium) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(aluminium) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 30 .0 °C - 95.0 °C = -65.0°C

⇒ mass of water = 100.0 grams

⇒ c(water ) = The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature of water = T2 - T1 = 30.0 - 20.0 = 10.0 °C

73.6g * c(aluminium) * -65.0 °C = 100.0g * 4.184 J/g°C * 10.0°C

-4784 * c(aluminium) = -4184

c(aluminium) = 0.875 J /g°C

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.875 J/g°C

Draw a chair conformation for cis-1-bromo-2,4-dimethylcyclohexane showing equatorial and axial positions at the carbon atoms bea
Ahat [919]

Answer:

See attachment.

Explanation:

Mono-substituted cyclohexanes are more stable with their substituents in an equatorial position. However, with poly-substituted cyclohexanes, the situation is more complex since the steric effects of all substituents have to be taken into account. In this case, you can see that <u>the interconversion is shifted towards the conformation in the bottom because there is less tension between the substituents</u>.
