Answer: The specific heat of the unknown metal is 0.897J/g^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=5040 Joules

m= mass of substance = 86.8 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = T_i

Final temperature of the water = T_f

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(64.7)^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

5040=86.8\times c\times 64.7^0C

c=0.897J/g^0C

The specific heat of the unknown metal is 0.897J/g^0C

Calculate the amount of heat that must be absorbed by 10.0 g of ice at –20°C to convert it to liquid water at 60.0°C. Given: spe
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is in charge of measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.

The total energy required is the sum of the energy to heat the ice from -20 ° C to ice of 0 ° C, melting the ice of 0 ° C in 0 ° C water and finally heating the water to 60 ° C.

So:

  • Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from -20 °C to 0 °C

Being the sensible heat of a body the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous), the expression is used:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal - Tinitial).

In this case, m= 10 g, specific heat of the ice= 2.1 \frac{J}{g*C} and ΔT=0 C - (-20 C)= 20 C

Replacing: Q= 10 g*2.1 \frac{J}{g*C} *20 C and solving: Q=420 J

  • Heat required to convert 0 °C ice to 0 °C water

The heat Q necessary to melt a substance depends on its mass m and on the called latent heat of fusion of each substance:

Q= m* ΔHfusion

In this case, being 1 mol of water= 18 grams: Q= 10 g*6.0 \frac{kJ}{mol} *\frac{1 mol of water}{18 g}= 3.333 kJ= 3,333 J (being kJ=1,000 J)

  • Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 60 °C

In this case the expression used in the first step is used, but being: m= 10 g, specific heat of the water= 4.18 \frac{J}{g*C} and ΔT=60 C - (0 C)= 60 C

Replacing: Q= 10 g*4.18 \frac{J}{g*C} *60 C and solving: Q=2,508 J

Finally, Qtotal= 420 J + 3,333 J + 2,508 J

Qtotal= 6,261 J

<u><em> The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J</em></u>

Prform the following operation and express the answer in scientific notation 6.0 x 10^3-2.310^3
Marrrta [24]

The value 6.0 x 10^3- 2.3 × 10^3 in scientific notation is 3.7 × 10^3.

<h3> What is scientific notation?</h3>

Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers so that they are easier to read and work with.

You express a number as the product of a number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10 and an integral power of 10 .

<h3>Why it is used? </h3>

There are two reasons to use scientific notation.

  • The first is to reveal honest uncertainty in experimental measurements.
  • The second is to express very large or very small numbers so they are easier to read.

Given,

= 6.0 x 10^3- 2.3 × 10^3

= (6.0 - 2.3) × 10^3

= 3.7 × 10^3

Thus, we find that the value 6.0 x 10^3- 2.3 × 10^3 in scientific notation is 3.7 × 10^3.
