Answer:
The metal has a heat capacity of 0.385 J/g°C
This metal is copper.
Explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>: Data given
Mass of the metal = 21 grams
Volume of water = 100 mL
⇒ mass of water = density * volume = 1g/mL * 100 mL = 100 grams
Initial temperature of metal = 122.5 °C
Initial temperature of water = 17°C
Final temperature of water and the metal = 19 °C
Heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C
<u />
<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate the specific heat capacity
Heat lost by the metal = heat won by water
Qmetal = -Qwater
Q = m*c*ΔT
m(metal) * c(metal) * ΔT(metal) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)
21 grams * c(metal) *(19-122.5) = -100 * 4.184 * (19-17)
-2173.5 *c(metal) = -836.8
c(metal) = 0.385 J/g°C
The metal has a heat capacity of 0.385 J/g°C
This metal is copper.
N = given mass/ molar mass.
n = number of moles
given mass = 2.47 g
molar mass = 197 g/mol
n = 2.47 / 197
n = 0.01253 moles.
I'm sure you wanted to ask more than this. Just put some comments in. I can do the same.
<u>Answer:</u>
I think it's (C)
The products are suitable for making nuclear weapons.
hope this helps!
