Answer:

\boxed{\text{(a) 0.236 J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$; (b) 106 g/mol}}  

Explanation:

a) Specific heat capacity of the metal

The guiding principle in calorimetry is the Law of Conservation of Energy: the sum of all the energy transfers must add up to zero. That is,

q₁ + q₂ + … = 0

The formula for the heat q gained or lost by a substance is

q = mCΔT

where

 m = the mass of the substance.

 C = its specific heat capacity.

ΔT = the change in temperature.

In this problem, there are two heat transfers: the heat lost by the metal and the heat gained by the water.

m₁C₁ΔT₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0

Data:  

m₁ = 58.215 g; T₁ = 99.0 °C; T₂ = 27.2 °C

m₂ = 41.202 g; T₁ = 21.5 °C; T₂ = 27.2 °C

Calculations:

ΔT₁ = 27.2 - 99.0 = -71.8 °C

ΔT₂ = 27.2 - 21.5 =    5.7 °C

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{heat lost by metal} + \text{heat gained by water} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1}\Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2}\Delta T_{2}& = & 0\\\text{58.215 g $\times$ C$_{1} \times$ (-71.8 $^{\circ}\text{C}$)} + \text{41.202 g} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 5.75^{\circ}\text{C} & = & 0\\-4180C_{1}\text{ g}^{\circ}\text{C} + 987 \text{ J} & = & 0\\\end{array}\\

\begin{array}{rcl}-4180C_{1}\text{ g}^{\circ}\text{C}& = & -987 \text{ J}\\C_{1}& = & \dfrac{-987 \text{ J}}{-4180 \text{ g}^{\circ}\text{C}}\\\\& = & \textbf{0.236 J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \\\end{array}\\\text{The specific heat capacity of the metal is $\boxed{\textbf{0.236 J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}}$}

b) Approximate molar mass of the metal

We could look up the metal that has the calculated specific heat capacity, but that would give the exact molar mass.

They asked for the approximate value, do they are probably expecting you to do something else.

Per the Law of Dulong and Petit, the molar specific heat capacity of a metal should be about 24.9 J·°C⁻¹mol⁻¹

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{0.236n J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}  & = & \text{24.9 J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$mol$^{-1}$}\\\text{0.236n g$^{-1}$}  & = & \text{24.9 mol$^{-1}$}\\n & = & \dfrac{24.9\text{ mol}^{-1}}{0.236\text{ g}^{^{-1}}}\\\\&= &\textbf{106 g/mol}\\\end{array}\\\text{The approximate molar mass of the metal is $\large \boxed{\textbf{106 g/mol}}$}

Which of the following are always larger than the neutral atoms from which they are formed?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A) Cations

Explanation:

a) Cations have a positive charge and are larger than their neutral counterparts!

b) Anions have a negative charge and are smaller than their neutral counterparts

c) Metals can have either a positive or negative charge making it either a cation or an anion

d) Carbon is an element and it can have a charge anywhere from +4 to -4

A good way to remember that cations are positive is to think that CATions are always PAWSitive! ^-^

What is the most important use of an elements atomic number
Setler [38]

Answer:

Atoms of each element contain a characteristic number of protons and electrons. The number of protons determines an element's atomic number and is used to distinguish one element from another.

Bingel [31]
The balanced neutralization reaction here is:

Ca(OH)2 + 2HBr --> 2H2O + CaBr2

Notice that two moles of Her are required to neutralize every one mole of Ca(OH)2. This means that for however many moles of Her reacted, HALF as many moles of Ca(OH)2 reacted as well.

Moles of HBr reacted = 0.75 M x 0.345 L = 0.259 mol

Moles of Ca(OH)2 reacted = 0.259 mol / 2 = 0.130 mol

Concentration of Ca(OH)2 = 0.130 mol / 0.250 L = 0.52 M
