Answer : Initial temperature of the water is 518.3 K

Explanation :

The specific heat of water (Cp) can be expressed in 2 ways

1) Cp = 1 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹ or

2) Cp = 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹

The amount of heat absorbed by water is given by the following equation.

Q = m×Cp×ΔT

Here Q is the amount of energy absorbed in kilojoules

m is the mass of water in kilograms

Cp is specific heat of water

ΔT is the difference is temperature of water.

We have been given that

Q = 87 kJ

Cp = 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹

m = 587.00 kg

Let us plug in these values in equation for Q

Q = mxCpxΔT

87 kJ = 587.00 kg x 1 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹ x ΔT

87/587.00 = ΔT

ΔT = 0.15 K

ΔT is calculated as Tf - Ti where Tf is the final temperature and Ti is the initial temperature .

We know that Tf = 518.4 K

And we calculated ΔT as 0.15 K.

Let us plug these values in the equation

ΔT = Tf - Ti

0.15 K = 518.4 K - Ti

Ti = 518.25 K

Initial temperature of the water is 518.3 K

vagabundo [1.1K]
Yes, you should memorize them. While it is easy to predict them by looking at a periodic table, you should still have a strong grasp of simpler chemistry such as this before more challenging topics are taught.

When 551. mg of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 100 g of benzonitrile (CH,CN), the freezing point of the solutio
arsen [322]

Answer:

1.12g/mol

Explanation:

The freezing point depression of a solvent for the addition of a solute follows the equation:

ΔT = Kf*m*i

<em>Where ΔT is change in temperature (Benzonitrile freezing point: -12.82°C; Freezing point solution: 13.4°C)</em>

<em>ΔT = 13.4°C - (-12.82) = 26.22°C</em>

<em>m is molality of the solution</em>

<em>Kf is freezing point depression constant of benzonitrile (5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹)</em>

<em>And i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for all solutes in benzonitrile)</em>

Replacing:

26.22°C = 5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹*m*1

4.90mol/kg = molality of the compound X

As the mass of the solvent is 100g = 0.100kg:

4.9mol/kg * 0.100kg = 0.490moles

There are 0.490 moles of X in 551mg = 0.551g, the molar mass (Ratio of grams and moles) is:

0.551g / 0.490mol

= 1.12g/mol

<em>This result has no sense but is the result by using the freezing point of the solution = 13.4°C. Has more sense a value of -13.4°C.</em>

Write the formulas of the three singly chlorinated isomers formed when 2,2-dimethylbutane reacts with Cl2 in the presence of lig
Tems11 [23]

The molecule with same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms is said to be an isomer.

When 2,2-dimethylbutane reacts with chlorine in the presence of light gives three isomers that is CH_{3}C(CH_{3})_{2}CHClCH_{3} (3-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane), ClCH_{2}C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3} (1-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane) and ClCH_{2}CH_{2}C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{3} (1-chloro-3,3-dimethylbutane).

In above case, the molecular formula of all isomers are same i.e.C_{6}H_{13}Cl but chlorine is arranged in different positions of carbon. Thus, results isomers.

The reaction is shown in the image.
