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

How can one separate and collect the solvent from a salt solution​
satela [25.4K]
Simple distillation is a method for separating the solvent from a solution

EXAMPLE: water can be separated from salt solution, because water has a much lower boiling point than salt. When the solution is heated, the water evaporates.

Which bicylic compounds are unstable at room temperature?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

the compounds are:

Chlorine Trifluoride (CLF3)

Substance N (another way to call CLF3)

Azido Azide Azide (C2N14)

Explanation:

The instability of the C2N14 is beyond our handling capabilities. Minor tests of load and friction led to explosive decomposition.

This is the most explosive compound known, ironically two nitrogen atoms linked with a triple covalent bond is the most stable molecule, but in the case of Azido Azide Azide none of its 14 nitrogen atoms is linked by a triple bond, which makes it very unstable.

Substance N in 1930 was a new compound was discovered by Ruff and Krug in Germany. It was too volatile, so it was ignored, until a few years after it sparked interest in Nazi scientists. They named the compound substance n and it showed very particular properties:

· Boils at room temperature and produces toxic gas

· If the gas is ignited it burns at more than 2,400 degrees Celsius

· Explodes on contact with water

· If combined with coal it forms an explosive that detonates on contact with anything else

Seeing these properties and that substance n was so good at setting fire to things that were not flammable like glass or sand the Germans decided to use it.

It is a colorless gas or a highly reactive white solid with a sweet, suffocating odor. It is transported as a greenish-yellow liquid.

It is used in rocket boosters and in the processing of fuels for atomic reactors.

What is the oxidation number for zinc? How does zinc's electron configuration account for this oxidation number?
IRINA_888 [86]
+2 is the oxidation number for Zinc
<span>Oxidation Number for a Transition metal = Number of Unpaired d-electrons + Two s-electrons  
</span>[Ar]4s2 3d10 is the electron configuration for zinc. The d-block is full with 10 electrons meaning there are no unpaired d-electrons, so the oxidation number is 0 unpaired d-electrons + 2 s-electrons = +2

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize
oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

What is determined by calculating the slope of the position versus time graph distance
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Determining the Slope on a p-t Graph. It was learned earlier in Lesson 3 that the slope of the line on a position versus time graph is equal to the velocity of the object. ... If the object has a velocity of 0 m/s, then the slope of the line will be 0 m/s. The slope of the line on a position versus time graph tells it all.

Explanation:

#<em>c</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>r</em><em>y</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>n</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em>
