The temperature of 15.71 grams of gold rises from 32°C to 1,064°C, and then the gold melts completely. If gold’s specific heat i

s 0.1291 joules/gram degree Celsius and its heat of fusion is 63.5 joules/gram, how much energy is gained by the gold?

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The total energy gained is equal to 3091 Joules.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate how much energy is gained by the gold, we need to use the formula to calculate the heat transfer, it's defined by the following equation:

Q=mc\Delta T

We know that the gold melts completely (it reached its melting point or fusion temperature), so, we need to rewrite the equation as follow:

Q=mc\Delta T+m\Delta H_{fusion}

Where,

m,is the mass of the material

c, is the specific heat of the material

ΔT, is the change of temperature.

ΔH, is the heat of fusion of the material.

So, from the statement we know the following information:

m=15.74grams\\\\\Delta T=1064\°C-32\°C=1032\°C\\\\c=0.1291\frac{Joules}{gram\°C}\\\\m\Delta H_{fusion=15.71grams*\frac{63.5Joules}{gram}=997.59Joules

Then, substituting and calculating, we have:

Q=mc\Delta T+m\Delta H_{fusion}

Q=15.71grams*0.1291\frac{Joules}{gram\°C}*1032\°C+997.59Joules

Q=2093.06Joules+997.59Joules=3090.65Joules=3091Joules

Hence, we have that the total energy gained is equal to 3091 Joules.

Have a nice day!

Why is the electron in a Bohr hydrogen atom bound less tightly when it has a quantum number of 3 than when it has a quantum numb
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: An electron having a quantum number of one is closer to the nucleus

Explanation:

The Bohr model relies on electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and orbital electron. Hence, the closer an electron is to the nucleus the more closely it is held by the nucleus and the lesser its energy (the more stable the electron is and the more difficult it is to ionize it). The farther an electron is from the nucleus ( in higher shells or energy levels), the less the electrostatic attraction of such electron to the nucleus due to shielding effect. Hence it is less tightly held.

PLEASE<br> What is the H30+ concentration of a solution with a pH of 3?
Alenkinab [10]
PH = -log[H3O+]
Solving for [H3O+] gives
[H3O+] = 10^-pH
             = 10^-3 
or 1x10^-3 M

Why does increasing the temperature of a reaction cause the reaction rate to increase?
Tems11 [23]
The temperature of a reaction causes its rate of reaction to increase because the heat inputted into the solution excites the electrons that make up the solution, therefore making them move faster, colliding more often with other molecules of the solution. This increase in collision rates causes the rate of reaction to increase.
