A 225-g sample of aluminum was heated to 125.5 oc, then placed into 500.0 g water at 22.5 oc. (the specific heat of aluminum is

0.900 j/goc). calculate the final temperature of the mixture. (assume no heat loss to the surroundings.)

Answer:

ans: the final temperature is 31.6 degrees Celsius

Explanation:

knowns:

m(alum)=225g

Δt(alum)= (125.5C-final temp)

sp.h(alum)=0.900J/gC

m(wtr)=500.0g

Δt(wtr)=(final temp- 22.5C)

sp.h(wtr)=4.184 J/gC

temp final=x

alum: h=(225g)(0.900J/gC)(125.5C-x)

water: h=(500.0g)(4.184J/gC)(x-22.5C)

heat gained by water=heat lost by metal

(225g)(0.900J/gC)(125.5C-x)=(500.0g)(4.184J/gC)(x-22.5C)

     step one: mass multiplied by specific heat on both sides

<em>      (left side)225g * .900J/gC; (right side)500.0g * 4.184J/gC</em>

202.5J/C (125.5C-x) = 2092J/C (x-22.5C)

     step two: cross multiply on both sides

     <em>(left side) 202.5J/C * 125.5C and 202.5J/C * -x;</em>

<em>      (right side) 2092J/C * x  and 2092J/C * -22.5C</em>

25413.75J - 202.5xJ/C = 2092xJ/C - 2114.5J

     step three: add on both sides

     <em>(left side) 25413.75J + 2114.5J</em>

<em>      (right side) 2092xJ/C + 202.5xJ/C</em>

72483.75J = 2294.5xJ/C

     step four: divide on the left side (everything is divided but x)

     <em>(left side) 72483.75J / 2294.5J/C</em>

<em>31.59021573 C = x</em>

<em />

     step five: sig figs + answer

31.6 = x

x= the final temperature is 31.6 C

I hope this helps, took me forever to figure out for homework so I figured that I might as well share how I got my answer! Feel free to tell me if I typed in anything incorrectly :)

when  heat gained = heat lost 

when AL is lost heat and water gain heat

∴ (M*C*ΔT)AL = (M*C*ΔT) water

when M(Al) is the mass of Al= 225g 

C(Al) is the specific heat of Al = 0.9 

ΔT(Al) = (125.5 - Tf) 

and Mw is mass of water  = 500g

Cw is the specific heat of water = 4.81 

ΔT = (Tf - 22.5) 

so by substitution:

∴225* 0.9 * ( 125.5 - Tf) = 500 * 4.81 * (Tf-22.5)

∴Tf = 30.5 °C

What is the pH of a 1.9 M solution of HClO4?
Sliva [168]
The compound HClO4, when placed in water, will dissociate into the ions, H+ and ClO4-. Therefore, the 2.0 M solution will also form 2.0 M H+. The pH is calculated through the equation,
pH = -log[H+]
Substituting,
pH = -log[2] = -0.3
Thus, the pH of the solution is -0.3.

As a technician in a large pharmaceutical research firm, you need to produce 250. mL of a potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer
Reika [66]

Answer:

We will need 147.772 mL of KH2PO4 to make this solution

Explanation:

For this case we can give the following equation:

H2PO4 - ⇄ H+ + HPO42-

With following pH- equation:

pH = pKa + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

7.05 = 7.21 + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

-0.16 =  log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

10^-0.16 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

0.6918 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

Let's say the volume of HPO42-= x  then the volume of H2PO4- will be 250 mL - x

Since both have a concentration of 1M = 1 mol /L

If we plug this in the equation 0.6918 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

0.6918 = x / (250 - x)

0.6918*250 - 0.6918x = x

172.95 = 1.6918x

x = 102.228 mL

The volume of HPO42- = 102.228 mL

Then the volume of H2PO4- = 250 - 102.228 = 147.772 mL

To control this we can plug this in the pH equation

7.05 = 7.21 + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

7.05= 7.21 + log (102.228 / 147.772) = 7.05

We will need 147.772 mL of KH2PO4 to make this solution

Is reacts with acid a chemical or physical property? (WORTH 30 Points.)
Alborosie

Answer:

Metals in general have they chemical property of reacting with an acid. Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. This is a chemical property. Chemical change results in one or more substances of entirely different composition from the original substances.
