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

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

  • <u>68.3g</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Word equation:</u>

  • <em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>

<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>

  • 2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

<u>3. Mole ratio</u>

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

       2molHgO/1molO_2

<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>

Use the equation for ideal gases:

          pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol

<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>

         \dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO

<u>6. Convert to mass</u>

  • mass = # moles × molar mass

  • molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

  • mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

Use the unbalanced equation NH3+O2=NO+H2O to find the mole ratio between NO and H2O
Leona [35]

Answer:

For every 4 moles of NO created, 6 moles of H2O are created so the ratio is 4:6

Explanation:

You just need to balance the equation.

NH3 + O2 -> NO + H2O

1. I started with hydrogen; there's 3 on the left and 2 on the right. Multiply them together to find a number they both go into (3×2=6, but in this case 6 hydrogen on each side does not work so I doubled it so there is 12 hydrogen on each side).

This will bring you to this:

4NH3 + O2 -> NO + 6H2O

2. Now get equal amounts of nitrogen on each side. There's 4 nitrogen on the left side, and 1 on the right. Multiply the right by 4. Then you will have this:

4NH3 + O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

3. Last thing you need to do is have the same amount of oxygen on both sides. On the left you have 2 and on the right you have 10. Get the left to 10 by multiplying it by 5.

Balanced: 4NH3 + 5O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

In word form, for every reaction between 4 moles of ammonia and 5 moles of oxygen, 4 moles of nitric oxide and 6 moles of water will be created.

I hope this helps!
