a piece of metal is heated to 100℃ and placed into 75.0g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter. Initially, the temperature of the

water in the calorimeter was 23.1℃. The final temperature of he system was 30.6℃. What is the mass of the piece of metal? The specific heat of the water is 4.184 J/g℃. The specific heat of the metal is 0.900J/g℃.

Answer:

The mass of this piece of metal is 37.68g

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

q = m*ΔT *Cp

⇒with m = mass of the substance

⇒with ΔT = change in temp = final temperature T2 - initial temperature T1

⇒with Cp = specific heat (Cpwater = 4.184J/g °C) (Cpmetam = 0.9J/ g °C)

<u>Step2 : </u>

For this situation : we get for q = m*ΔT *Cp

q(lost, metal) = q(gained, water)

- mass of metal(ΔT)(Cpmetal) = mass of water (ΔT) (Cpwater)

-m (30.6 -100) * 0.9 = 75g *( 30.6 - 23.1) * 4.184J / g °C

-m * (-69.4) * 0.9 = 75g * (7.5) * 4.184J / g °C

-m * (-69.4) *0.9 = 2353.5

-m = 2353.5 / (-69.4 *0.9) = -37.68

m = 37.68g

The mass of this piece of metal is 37.68g

What cause the ratio of PV/RT to drop below 1 when 1 mole of
pentagon [3]

Answer:

pressure and temperature are directly proportional.

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. Also given a constant temperature and volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.

This means that if V is constant then

P = n (RT/V) then n= PV/RT. As P is increased, T is also increased thereby decreasing the value of n since pressure and temperature are directly proportional.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

c) No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale

Explanation:

converting  5 oC to kelvin which is the absolute temperature scale gives = 273 + 5 = 278 K

and converting 20 oC to kelvin = 20 + 273 = 293 K

the ratio = 278 / 293 = 0.94 approx 1 not 4
