A 248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 mL of water at 22.6 °C. The final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °C.

Calculate the initial temperature of the piece of copper. Assume that all heat transfer occurs between the copper and the water.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Initial temperature of copper = 67.1°C

Explanation:

Data

mass Copper = 248 g

volume Water = 390 ml

T1 water = 22.6°C

T2           = 39.9°C

T1 copper = ?

Specific heat water = 1 cal/g°C

Specific heat copper = 0.092 cal/g°C

Formula       copper             water

Heat is negative for copper because it releases heat

                  - mCp(T2 - T1) = mCp(T2 - T1)                  

                  - (248)(39.9 - T1) = 390 (1)((39.9 - 22.6)           Substitution

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 390(17.3)                             Simplification

                 -9895.2 + 248T1 = 6747

                 248 T1 = 6747 + 9895.2

                 248 T1 = 16642.2

                 T1 = 16642.2 / 248

                 T1 = 67.1 °C                                                         Result

Convert the following into balanced equations:
sesenic [268]

Gallium metal is heated in oxygen gas, it melts and forms solid gallium(III) oxide.

             Ga + O₂⇒   Ga O₂

Balance the atoms with simple - whole coefficients.

4 Ga + 3 O₂   2 Ga₂O₃.

Specify the states of matter.

4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g) ⇒   2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

Therefore, balanced equation is----- 4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g)  ⇒ 2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

What is the balanced formula equation?

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Why are equations balanced?

A balanced equation obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass. This is an important guiding principal in science. Finally, a balanced equation lets up predict the amount of reactants needed and the amount of products formed.
