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

Ice cubes in water and explain why it is either a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.
alexandr402 [8]
Ice cubes are made of water which has undergone freezing, which made it into ice. Both ice cubes and water have the same properties. But in this case, when ice and water are mixed, it is considered a heterogeneous mixture and not homogeneous. Why? Going back to the definition of what a heterogeneous mixture is, this mixture shows a visible difference of difference phases or substances. In the ice and water mixture, it is obviously seen that ice is solid, and water is liquid.

PLEASE HELP!!!<br><br> What is the mass of one lead atom in amu?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: 207.2

Explanation:

In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass. This is approximately 1.67377 x 10 -27 kilogram (kg), or 1.67377 x 10 -24 gram (g). The mass of an atom in AMU is roughly equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

A mixture contains NaHCO3 together with unreactive components. A 1.75 g sample of the mixture reacts with HA to produce 0.561 g
Lynna [10]

Answer:

\%NaHCO_3=61.2\%

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction is only between the sodium bicarbonate and the acid HA:

NaHCO_3+HA\rightarrow NaA+H_2O+CO_2

For 0.561 g of yielded carbon dioxide (molar mass 44 g/mol), the following mass of sodium bicarbonate (molar mass 84 g/mol) that reacted was:

m_{NaHCO_3}=0.561gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2} *\frac{1molNaHCO_3}{1molCO_2} *\frac{84gNaHCO_3}{1molNaHCO_3} \\\\m_{NaHCO_3}=1.071g

Considering the 1:1 mole ratio between CO2 and NaHCO3. Finally, the percent by mass of NaHCO3 is computed by dividing the mass of reacted NaHCO3 and t the mixture:

\%NaHCO_3=\frac{1.071g}{1.75g}*100\%\\ \\\%NaHCO_3=61.2\%

Best regards.

If an element contains 8 electrons how many electrons will be placed in the 2nd valence shell?
RideAnS [48]
If an element contains 8 electrons, then there would be 6 electrons that will be placed in the 2nd valence shell. Each shell in an atom can only take up a fixed number of electrons. For the first shell, only two electrons can be found. For the second shell, it can hold up to 8 electrons. However, for this case only six electrons can be found since the others are found in the first shell.
