Answer:
Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.
Explanation:
In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.
Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.
This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.
the formula of the heavy water is D2O
From the coefficients of the equation, we know that for every 3 moles of water consumed, 1 mole of diphosphorus trioxide is consumed.
This means we need to find the mass of 0.75 moles of diphosphorus trioxide.
- The atomic mass of phosphorous is 30.973761998 g/mol.
- The atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 g/mol.
So, the formula mass of diphosphorus trioxide is:
- 2(30.973761998)+3(15.9994)=109.945723996 g/mol.
Thus, 0.75 moles have a mass of:
- 0.75(109.945723996), which is about 82.5 g (to 3 sf)
