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 $\large \boxed{\textbf{106 g/mol}}$}

If a compound contain 40% sulphur and 59% oxygen ,find its empirical formula.
elixir [45]

Answer:

SO3

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

S = 40%

O = 59%

To obtain the empirical formula, do the following:

Divide the above by their molar mass as shown below:

S = 40/32 = 1.25

O = 59/16 = 3.69

Next, divide by the smallest as shown below:

S = 1.25/125 = 1

O = 3.69/1.25 = 3

Therefore, the empirical formula is SO3

How many moles of hydrogen atoms are contained in one mole of<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=C_%7B6%7DH_%7B12%7D" id="TexFormu
Orlov [11]

The number of moles of hydrogen atoms contained in 1 mole of c6h12 is 12.

<h3>What is hydrogen made of?</h3>

Hydrogen can be produced from various domestic resources such as fossil fuels, biomass, and the electrolysis of water by electricity. The environmental sustainability and energy efficiency of hydrogen depends on how hydrogen is produced.

Hydrogen is the simplest element. Each hydrogen atom has only one proton. Hydrogen is also the most abundant element in the universe. Stars like the Sun are mainly made of hydrogen. The sun is essentially a giant sphere of hydrogen and helium gas.

Some facts about hydrogen:

  • Hydrogen is the most abundant element on earth.
  • Hydrogen is an alternative fuel with a very high energy content by weight.
  • The fuel cell can be used to power multiple applications.

  • Fuel cells are a clean way to generate electricity.

Fuel cell vehicles are very similar to traditional gasoline vehicles
