Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0,50 J/gºC

Explanation:

Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings

(Q = m . C . ΔT)metal + (Q = m . C . ΔT)water = 0

Let's replace our values.

55g . C . (18,7ºC - 75ºC) + 100g . 4,184 J/g·°C . (18,7ºC - 15ºC) = 0

55g . C . -56,3 ºC + 418,4J/·°C . 3,7ºC = 0

-3096,5 gºC . C + 1548,08 J = 0

1548,08 J = 3096,5 gºC . C

1548,08 J / 3096,5 gºC  = C = 0,50 J/gºC

How could an increase in industrial activity in developing nations contribute to global climate change?
netineya [11]
If there is an increase in industrial activity, that means that more heat will be dissipated to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. Industrialization requires fuel to keep the processes on the go. At the end of the pipeline, the combustion of fuel would result to carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere. That's how it is contributing to the global climate change through the greenhouse effect.

46.6 grams of mercury II sulfate (HgSO4) reacts with an excess of sodium Chloride (NaCl). How many grams of mercury II chloride
slega [8]

Answer:

m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

HgSO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow HgCl_2+Na_2SO_4

In such a way, the mercury II sulfate (molar mass 296.65g/mol) is in a 1:1 molar ratio with the mercury II chloride (molar mass 271.52g/mol), for that reason the stoichiometry to find mass in grams of mercury II chloride turns out:

m_{HgCl_2}=46.6gHgSO_4*\frac{1molHgSO_4}{296.65 gHgSO_4}*\frac{1molHgCl_2}{1molHgSO_4} *\frac{271.52gHgCl_2}{1molHgCl_2} \\\\m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Best regards.

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (02) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H20). What
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

For CH_4  :-

Mass of CH_4  = 1.28 g

Molar mass of CH_4  = 16.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.28\ g}{16.04\ g/mol}

Moles_{CH_4}= 0.0798\ mol

For O_2  :-

Mass of O_2  = 10.1 g

Molar mass of O_2  = 31.998 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{10.1\ g}{31.998\ g/mol}

Moles_{O_2}= 0.3156\ mol

According to the given reaction:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas

0.0798 mole of methane gas reacts with 2*0.0798 moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.1596 moles

Available moles of oxygen gas = 0.3156 moles

<u>Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, CH_4 is limiting reagent. </u>

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

0.0798 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 0.0798 mole of carbon dioxide.

Mole of carbon dioxide = 0.0798 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0798\ moles= \frac{Mass}{44.01\ g/mol}

Mass of CO_2 = 3.51 g

<u> Theoretical yield = 3.51 g</u>

Answer:

Explanation:

Take a random sample of nuts from the jar.  Let's take two handfuls, after shaking the jar and mixing the nuts thoroughly.  Separate the nuts into almonds and cashews.  Count each pile, then do the following calculation (these numbers are random, for example only).

                <u> Count</u>   <u>Percentage %</u>

Almonds       38        (38)/(87)x100

Cashews      <u> 49</u>         49/87x100

                      87          87/87 = 100%

Ratio of Almonds to Cashews:  <u>38/49</u>

What type of spectrum is produced when electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed as electrons change energy levels in an
Setler79 [48]
Then as the electrons in the atoms fall back down, they emit electromagnetic radiation (light). The amount of light emitted at different wavelengths, called the emission spectrum, is shown for a discharge tube filled with hydrogen gas in Figure 12.6 below.
