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 $0.897J/g^0C$

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.

A student is given a 2.002 g sample of unknown acid and is told that it might be butanoic acid, a monoprotic acid (HC4H7O2, equa

Elina [12.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The identity of the unknown acid is butanoic acid or ascorbic acid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.570 M

Volume of solution = 39.55 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.570M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}\times 1000}{39.55}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{0.570\times 39.55}{1000}=0.0225mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and monoprotic acid follows:

$NaOH+HX\rightarrow NaX+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HX

So, moles of monoprotic acid = 0.0225 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and diprotic acid follows:

$2NaOH+H_2X\rightarrow 2NaX+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of diprotic acid

So, moles of diprotic acid = $\frac{0.0225}{2}=0.01125moles$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

<u>For butanoic acid:</u>

Mass of butanoic acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of butanoic acid = 88 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of butanoic acid}=\frac{2.002g}{88g/mol}=0.02275mol$

<u>For L-tartaric acid:</u>

Mass of L-tartaric acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of L-tartaric acid = 150 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of L-tartaric acid}=\frac{2.002g}{150g/mol}=0.0133mol$

<u>For ascorbic acid:</u>

Mass of ascorbic acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of ascorbic acid = 176 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ascorbic acid}=\frac{2.002g}{176g/mol}=0.01137mol$

As, the number of moles of butanoic acid and ascorbic acid is equal to the number of moles of acid getting neutralized.

Hence, the identity of the unknown acid is butanoic acid or ascorbic acid.

Question 2: you have two systems: 1) solid gold and water 2) solid sodium and waterWhich one can spontaneously release energy an

Valentin [98]

Hey there!

Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy. This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy. Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.

A pharmacist wishes to strengthen a mixture from 10%alcohol to 30% alcohol. How much pure alcohol should be added to 7 liters of

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

$n_{old}=7$ litres
$n_{new}=7+x$ litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

$q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7$

$q_{added}=x$

$q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)$

Now the equation is as

$q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres$

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.
