The temperature of a sample of water increases from 20 degrees Celsius to 46.6 degrees Celsius as it absorbs 5650 calories of he
Vaselesa [24]
ΔT = 46.6 - 20

ΔT = 26.6ºC

<span>Specific heat of water is 1.0 cal/g °C
</span>
Q = m * C * ΔT 

5650 = m * 1.0 * 26.6

5650 = m * 26.6

m = 5650 / 26.6

m = 212.4 g

hope thips helps!

Which of the following best describe the particles present in a 2.0 M aqueous solution of Al(NO3)3?2 M Al3+(aq) and 18 M NO3-(aq
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 2M Al3+(aq) and 6 M NO3-(aq)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

2.0 M Al(NO3)3

Step 2:

Al(NO3)3 in water will dissociate as following:

Al(NO3)3 → Al^3+ + 3NO3^-

For 1 mol of Al(NO3)3 we will have 1 mol of Al^3+ and 3 moles of NO3^-

We know that the molarity of Al(NO3)3 = 2.0 M, this means 2.0 mol/ L

The mol ratio Al(NO3)3 and Al^3+ is 1:1 so the molarity of Al^3+ is<u> 2.0 M</u>

The mol ratio Al(NO3)3 and NO3^- is 1:3 so the molarity of NO3^- is<u> 6.0M</u>

The correct answer is: 2M Al3+(aq) and 6 M NO3-(aq)

If a substance has a high hydronium concentration, the substance has a ____ pH.
aalyn [17]

Answer: low pH

Hydronium is H^+ and acids give hydronium ions to water solution.

PH = -log H^+ concentration. The higher the concentration, the lower pH value
