Answer:

100 g of water: specific heat of water 4.18 J/g°C

Explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the temperature change in each case.

For 100 g of water:

Mass (M) = 100 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 4.18 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 100 x 4.18 x ΔT

Divide both side by 100 x 4.18

ΔT = 55000/ (100 x 4.18)

ΔT = 131.6 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 131.6 °C

For 50 g of water:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 4.18 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 50 x 4.18 x ΔT

Divide both side by 50 x 4.18

ΔT = 55000/ (50 x 4.18)

ΔT = 263.2 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 263.2 °C

For 50 g of lead:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.128 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 50 x 0.128 x ΔT

Divide both side by 50 x 0.128

ΔT = 55000/ (50 x 0.128)

ΔT = 8593.8 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 8593.8 °C.

For 100 g of iron:

Mass (M) = 100 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.449 J/g°C

Heat absorbed (Q) = 55 KJ = 55000 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Q = MCΔT

55000 = 100 x 0.449 x ΔT

Divide both side by 100 x 0.449

ΔT = 55000/ (100 x 0.449)

ΔT = 1224.9 °C

Therefore the temperature change is 1224.9 °C.

The table below gives the summary of the temperature change of each substance:

Mass >>> Substance >> Temp. Change

100 g >>> Water >>>>>> 131.6 °C

50 g >>>> Water >>>>>> 263.2 °C

50 g >>>> Lead >>>>>>> 8593.8 °C

100 g >>> Iron >>>>>>>> 1224.9 °C

From the table given above we can see that 100 g of water has the smallest temperature change.

aliya0001 [1]
Answer is: <span>the molarity of HCl is </span>0.097 M.
Chemical reaction: LiOH + HCl → LiCl + H₂O.
V(HCl) = 13.60 mL - 1.25 mL = 12.35 mL.
V(LiOH) = 11.20 mL - 2.65 mL = 8.55 mL.
c(LiOH) = 0.140 M.
From chemical reaction: n(LiOH) : n(HCl) = 1 : 1.
c(HCl) · V(HCl) = c(LiOH) · V(LiOH).
c(HCl) = 8.55 mL · 0.140 M / 12.35 mL.
c(LiOH) = 0.097 M.

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX
liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.

Find the pH of a 0.100 molar H2C6O6 solution with ka, where KA is equal 8.0×10–5​
lubasha [3.4K]

The pH of the solution is 2.54.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity of the solution and Ka is the dissociation constant. Dissociation constant is the measure of concentration of hydrogen ion donated to the solution.

The solution of C₆H₂O₆ will get dissociated as C₆HO₆ and H+ ions. So the molar concentration of 0.1 M is present at the initial stage. Lets consider that the concentration of hydrogen ion released as x and the same amount of the base ion will also be released.

So the dissociation constant Kₐ can be written as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants. As the concentration of reactants is given as 0.1 M and the concentration of products is considered as x for both hydrogen and base ion. Then the

K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][HB] }{[reactant]}

[HB] is the concentration of base.

8 * 10^{-5} =\frac{x^{2}  }{0.1}\\\\\\x^{2} = 8 * 10^{-5}*0.1

x^{2} = 0.08 * 10^{-4}\\ \\x = 0.283*10^{-2}

Then

pH = - log [x] = - log [ 0.283 * 10^{-2}]\\ \\pH = 2 + 0.548 = 2.54

So the pH of the solution is 2.54.
