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

Calculate the theoretical yield of glycolysis and complete glucose breakdown
rusak2 [61]
Eukaryotic cells, the theoretical maximum yield of ATP generated per glucose is 36 to 38, depending on how the 2 NADH generated in the cytoplasm during glycolysis enter the mitochondria and whether the resulting yield is 2 or 3 ATP per NADH

How many electrons are in an uncharged atom of chromium
deff fn [24]
Look up chromium on periodic table.
It's atomic number is 24.
It gives number of protons in an element.
Since the atom is uncharged (no extra or subtracted electrons), the number of protons will equal the number of electrons.
