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).

Answer:

60 moles of NaF

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

Al(NO3)3 + 3NaF —> 3NaNO3 + AlF3

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of NaF reacted to produce 1 mole of AlF3.

Therefore, Xmol of NaF will react to produce 20 moles of AlF3 i.e

Xmol of NaF = 3 x 20

Xmol of NaF = 60 moles

Therefore, 60 moles of NaF are required to produce 20 moles of AlF3.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

(a) The handspan is the distance between the tip of the thumb and tip of the little finger when the hand is fully stretched.

b) It is impossible for them to obtain an accurate result by the use of a handspan because it doesn't use any standard unit for measurement. It is entirely subjective and highly prone to human errors.

c) Anupam  is quite intelligent and active

The statement "Although sulfuric acid is a strong electrolyte, an aqueous solution of H2SO4 contains more HSO4− ions than SO42−
PIT_PIT [208]

The statement "Although sulfuric acid is a strong electrolyte, an aqueous solution of H₂SO₄ contains more HSO₄⁻ ions than SO₄²⁻ ions is <u>True.</u> This is best explained by the fact that H₂SO₄ <u>is a diprotic acid where only the first hydrogen completely ionizes.</u>

Why?

H₂SO₄ is a diprotic acid. That means that it has <u>two hydrogen ions</u> to give to the solution. The two dissociation reactions are shown below:

H₂SO₄ + H₂O → HSO₄⁻ + H₃O⁺

HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄²⁻ + H₃O⁺

As the arrows show, the first dissociation is complete, meaning that all the sulfuric acid that is present initially is dissociated into HSO₄⁻ and H₃O⁺. However, the second dissociation is incomplete, and it's actually an equilibrium with an acid constant  (Ka)of 1.2×10⁻².

That means that if the initial concentration of H₂SO₄ was 1M, the concentration of HSO₄⁻ is going to be 1M as well, but <u>the concentration of SO₄²⁻ is going to be much less than 1M</u>, according to the dissociation constant.

Have a nice day!
