<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.111 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Mass of the unknown metal sample as 58.932 g
  • Initial temperature of the metal sample as 101°C
  • Final temperature of metal is 23.68 °C
  • Volume of pure water = 45.2 mL

But, density of pure water = 1 g/mL

  • Therefore; mass of pure water is 45.2 g
  • Initial temperature of water = 21°C
  • Final temperature of water is 23.68 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

We are required to determine the specific heat of the metal;

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the amount of heat gained by pure water</h3>

Q = m × c × ΔT

For water, ΔT = 23.68 °C - 21° C

                       = 2.68 °C

Thus;

Q = 45.2 g × 4.184 J/g°C × 2.68°C

    = 506.833 Joules

<h3>Step 2: Heat released by the unknown metal sample</h3>

We know that, Q =  m × c × ΔT

For the unknown metal, ΔT = 101° C - 23.68 °C

                                              = 77.32°C

Assuming the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is c

Then;

Q = 58.932 g × c × 77.32°C

   = 4556.62c Joules

<h3>Step 3: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal sample</h3>
  • We know that, the heat released by the unknown metal sample is equal to the heat gained by the water.
  • Therefore;

4556.62c Joules = 506.833 Joules

c = 506.833 ÷4556.62

  = 0.111 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.111 J/g°C

At 25 °c, what is the hydroxide ion concentration, [oh–], in an aqueous solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of [h ] = 3.0
chubhunter [2.5K]

As,

Water has a pkw=14

so it can be represented as,

[H+] [OH-] = 1*10^-14

If [H+] = 3*10^-5M

[OH-] = (1*10^-14) / ( 3*10^-5)

[OH-] = 3.3*10^-9 M

14) The central iodine atom in the ICl4- ion has __________ nonbonded electron pairs and __________ bonded electron pairs in its
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Two non bonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs

Explanation:

An image of the compound as obtained from chemlibretext is attached to this answer.

The ion ICl4- ion, is an AX4E2 ion. This implies that there are four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. As expected, the shape of the ion is square planar since the lone pairs are found above and below the plane of the square. This is clear from the image attached.

How many atoms of oxygen are represented in 3Fe(NO3)2?
nexus9112 [7]
There are 18. In each molecule of Fe(NO3)2 there are 6 oxygen atoms because you have 2 nitrate (NO3) components which each contain 3 oxygen atoms. 2 x 3 = 6. Because you have 3 molecules of Fe(NO3)2, you need to multiply 6 by 3, which gives you 18 oxygen atoms.

The equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

The term chemical reaction has to do with the combination of substances to give products. We know that reactants and products must follow the law of conservation of mass.

Hence, the equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.
