Answer : The specific heat of the metal is, 1.11J/g^oC

Explanation

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of metal = 95.0g

m_2 = mass of water  = 50.0 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 48.5^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 100.0.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 22.5^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

(95.0g)\times c_1\times (48.5-100.0)^oC=-[(50.0g)\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (48.5-22.5)^oC]

c_1=1.11J/g^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is, 1.11J/g^oC

The density of H2O2 is 1.407 g/mL, and the density of O2 is 1.428 g/L. How many liters of O2 can be made from 55 mL H2O2
balandron [24]

Explanation:

mass H2O2 = 55 mL(1.407 g/mL) = 80.85 g

molar mass H2O2 = 2(1.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 34.02 g/mol

moles H2O2 = 80.85 g/34.02 g/mol = 2.377 moles H2O2

For each mole of H2O2 you obtain 0.5 mole of O2 (see the equation).

moles O2 = 2.377 moles H2O2 (1 mole O2)/(2 moles H2O2) = 1.188 moles O2

Now, you need the temperature.  If you are at STP (273 K, and 1.00 atm) then 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L.  Without temperature you are not really able to continue.  I will assume you are at STP.

Volume O2 = 1.188 moles O2(22.4 L/mole) = 0.0530 L of O2.

which is  53 mL.

Sugar dissolves readily in water because it is a(n) ____ substance.
Mnenie [13.5K]
The answer to this question would be D. Hydrophilic.

The word hydrophilic mean attracted by water. That means the molecule has a force to attract water molecule, thus be able to dissolve in water.  The polarity of the molecule would determine whether a molecule hydrophilic or not.
Its opposite would be hydrophobic which the molecule can't dissolve in water.  One example of this would be oil or fat. That is why sometimes it is called lipophilic too.

Choose the reaction that represents the combustion of C6H12O2.
Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  letter D

Explanation:

In a combustion reaction, the reactants are always a molecule with Carbon that reacts with oxygen and the products are carbon dioxide and water.

According to the explanation, the only possible solution is:

a) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g)

b) Mg(s) + C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ MgC₆H₁₂O₂(aq)

c) 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₂(l)

d) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) + 8 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

e) None of the above represent the combustion of C₆H₁₂O₂.
