Answer:

31.9 °C  

Explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by an object is

q = mCΔT where ΔT = (T₂ - T₁)

Data:

q = 12.35 cal

m = 19.75 g

C = 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₂ = 37.0 °C

Calculations

(a) Calculate ΔT

q = mCΔT

12.35 cal = 19.25 g × 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × ΔT

12.35 = 2.406ΔT °C⁻¹  

ΔT  = 12.35/(2.406 °C⁻¹) = 5.13 °C

(b) Calculate T₂

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - ΔT = 37.0 °C - 5.13 °C = 31.9 °C

The original temperature was 31.9 °C.

How do I calculate the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction at 25 °C ?
ladessa [460]
MgCl2(s) + H2O(l) → MgO(s) + 2 HCl(g) 

Using the standard enthalpies of formation given in the source below: 

(−601.24 kJ) + (2 x −92.30 kJ) − (−641.8 kJ) − (−285.8 kJ) = +141.76 kJ 
So: 

MgCl2(s) + H2O(l) → MgO(s) + 2 HCl(g), ΔH = +141.76 kJ

A 0.24g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to contain 0.144g of Oxygen.calculate the percentage compos
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Mass of compound = 0.24 g and, mass of boron = 0.096 g percentage of boron in the compound = mass of boron / mass of compound * 100 = 0.096/0.24 * 100 = 40% mass of oxygen = 0.144 g again, mass of compound = 0.24 g percentage of oxygen in compound = mass of oxygen/mass of of compound * 100 = 0.144/0.24 * 100 = 60%
