Answer:

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g°C

Explanation:

A 85.2 g copper bar was heated to 221.32 degrees Celsius and placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 425 mL of water at 22.55 degrees Celsius. The final temperature of the water was recorded to be 26.15 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the copper?

Step 1: Data given

Mass of copper = 85.2 grams

Temperature of copper = 221.32 °C

Volume of water = 425 mL

Temperature of water = 22.55 °C

Final temperature = 26.15 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculat the specific heat of copper

Heat lost = heat gained

Q = m*c*ΔT

Qcopper = -Qwater

m(copper)*c(copper)*ΔT(copper) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ m(copper) = 85.2 grams

⇒ c(copper) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(copper) = the change in temeprature = T2 -T1 = 26.15 -221.32 = -195.17 °C

⇒ m(water) = The mass of water = 425 mL * 1g/mL = 425 grams

⇒ c(water) = The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature of water = 26.15 - 22.55 = 3.6

85.2 * c(copper) * (-195.17) = -425 * 4.184 * 3.6

c(copper) = 0.385 J/g°C

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g°C

(Note, The original question says the volume of the water is 4250 mL. IF this is not an error, the specific heat of copper is 3.85 J/g°C (10x higher than the normal value).

True or False: You can make a concentrated solution more dilute by adding solvent.
Vlad [161]
That statement is true because to make a diluted solution, you have to add more solvent than the solute in a concentrated solution. This is extra information, but to make a diluted solution more concentrated, you have to add more solute since a concentrated solution has an excess amount of solute as stated before.

Why is cold air cold?
Sholpan [36]

Explanation:

Energy makes molecules in the air move faster and expand, decreasing density. The opposite is true for cold air. Molecules are closer together, and absorb less energy.

Igneous rocks would most likely be found near:
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

the deep sea floor. Known as the oceanic crust.

Explanation:

The deep seafloor (the oceanic crust) is made almost entirely of basaltic rocks, with peridotite underneath in the mantle. Basalts are also erupted above the Earth's great subduction zones, either in volcanic island arcs or along the edges of continents.

Hope this helps :)

For the reaction 2NH3(g) + 2O2(g)N2O(g) + 3H2O(l) H° = -683.1 kJ and S° = -365.6 J/K The standard free energy change for the rea
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

\Delta G^{0} = -457.9 kJ and reaction is product favored.

Explanation:

The given reaction is associated with 2 moles of NH_{3}

Standard free energy change of the reaction (\Delta G^{0}) is given as:

           \Delta G^{0}=\Delta H^{0}-T\Delta S^{0}   , where T represents temperature in kelvin scale

So, \Delta G^{0}=(-683.1\times 10^{3})J-(273K\times -365.6J/K)=-583291.2J

So, for the reaction of 1.57 moles of NH_{3}, \Delta G^{0}=(\frac{1.57}{2})\times -583291.2J=-457883.592J=-457.9kJ

As, \Delta G^{0} is negative therefore reaction is product favored under standard condition.
