A 151.5-g sample of a metal at 75.0°C is added to 151.5 g at 15.1°C. The temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C. Calculate the

specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C·g. Specific heat capacity = J/°C·g Submit AnswerTry Another Version

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.268 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 151.5 grams

The temperature of the metal = 75.0 °C

Temperature of water = 15.1 °C

The temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C.

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C*g

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal

heat lost = heat gained

Q = m*c*ΔT

Qmetal = - Qwater

m(metal) * c(metal) * ΔT(metal) = m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of the metal = 151.5 grams

⇒ c(metal) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT( metal) = T2 - T1 = 18.7 °C - 75.0 °C = -56.3 °C

⇒ mass of the water = 151.5 grams

⇒ c(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = 18.7° - 15.1 = 3.6 °C

151.5g * c(metal) * -56.3°C = 151.5g * 4.184 J/g°C * 3.6 °C

c(metal) = 0.268 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.268 J/g°C

What is the percent composition of hydrogen in vinegar (CH3COOH)?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

                      %H  = 6.72 %

Explanation:

                   Percent composition of an element is the total mass of that element divided by the molecular mass of compound (or molecular mass) of which it is present in.

So,

Percent composition of Hydrogen will be given as,

         %H  =  Total mass of H / Molecular Mass of Acetic Acid × 100

So,

Total Mass of H  =  1.01 × 4 = 4.04 g

Molecular Mass of Acetic acid  =  60.052 g/mol

Putting values in above formula,

         %H  =  4.04 g/mol ÷ 60.052 g/mol × 100

         %H  = 6.72 %

What can you tell by tracking oxidation numbers?
Alla [95]

<u>Answer</u>:

By tracking oxidation numbers we can identify the number electron in the atom

<u>Explanation</u>:

Tracking of electrons helps us to know when and how many electrons get transferred from one atom to other atom . Oxidation  referred as the “loss of one or more electrons” by an atom. When the oxidation number of an element increases, there is a loss of electrons and that element is being oxidized. Oxidation numbers are usually written with the sign (+plus or −minus) followed by the magnitude, which is the opposite of charges on ions. In their elemental stage oxidation number of an atom is zero.

What are the characteristics of electromagnetic waves?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature as they propagate by varying the electric and magnetic fields such that the two fields are perpendicular to each other.

Accelerated charges are responsible to produce electromagnetic waves.

What volume (in liters) does 3.91 moles of nitrogen gas at 5.35 atm and 323 K occupy
daser333 [38]
Moles   =  n  = 3.91 mol

                  Pressure  =  P  =  5.35 atm

                  Temperature  =  T  =  323 K

                  Volume  =  V  =  ?

Formula used: Ideal Gas Equation is used,

                                        P V  = n R  T
Solving for V,
                                           V  =  n R T / P
Putting Values,
                           V  =  (3.91 mol × 0.0825 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 323 K) ÷ 5.35 atm

                         V  =  19.36 L
