In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.6 grams of z

inc to 98.37°C and then drops it into a cup containing 82.9 grams of water at 24.16°C. She measures the final temperature to be 25.70°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of zinc to be __ J/g°C. g

Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.375 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of zinc = 19.6 grams

Mass of water = 82.9 grams

Initial temperature of zinc T1= 98.37 °C

Initial temperature of water T1= 24.16 °C

Final temperature of water (and zinc) T2 = 25.70 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate Specific heat of zinc

Q=m*c*ΔT

Qzinc = -Qwater

m(zinc)*C(zinc)*ΔT(zinc) = -m(water)*C(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒ with mass of water = 82.9 grams

⇒ with C(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 25.70 - 24.16 = 1.54

⇒ with mass of zinc = 19.6 grams

⇒ with C(zinc) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT(zinc) = T2 -T1 = 25.70 - 98.37 = -72.67°C

Qzinc = -Qwater

m(zinc)*c(zinc)* ΔT(zinc) = - m(water)*c(water)* ΔT(water)

19.6g* C(zinc) * (-72.67°C) = - 82.9g* 4.184 J/g°C * 1.54 °C

-1424.332*C(zinc) = -534.155

C(zinc) = 0.375 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.375 J/g°C

Consider separate solutions of NaOH and KClmade by dissolving 100.0 g of each solute in 250.0 mL of solution. Calculate the conc
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

MW of NaOH = 40 g/mol

MW of KCl = 74.55 g/mp;

250 mL = .25 L

100g NaOH / 40 g = 25 mol

100g KCl/ 74.55g = 1.34 mol

Molarity of NaOH: 25/.25 = 100M

Molarity of KCl: 1.34/.25 = 5.36 M

In a redox reaction, reduction is defined by the:
jonny [76]

Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.
