Why is a measured amount of water needed to determine the specific heat of a metal object?

Chemistry

This  is  because  absorbed  heat  energy or  released  by  water  is dependent on  mass of  water.
q=mc delta  T
where  q is  the amount  of  energy  required,   m  is  the  mass , C  is   the  specific  heat  capacity  and  delta  T is change  in  temperature.

What reagent is <br>used to test for starch<br>​
Elodia [21]

Answer:

iodine

Explanation:

In the presence of starch, iodine turns a blue/black colour. It is possible to distinguish starch from glucose (and other carbohydrates) using this iodine solution test. For example, if iodine is added to a peeled potato then it will turn black. Benedict's reagent can be used to test for glucose.

How much heat is required to change temperature of 2g of water from 34°C to 68°C? (Water has a specific heat of 4.18)
statuscvo [17]

Answer: B

Explanation:

To find the amount of heat required, you would use q=mcΔT.

q=2g(4.18J/g°C)(68-34°C)

q=284.2 J

*Please ignore the capital A in the equation. I can't find a way to type in the degree sign into the equation without the A appearing.

What types of bonds or interactions are overcome when a nonmetal extended network melts?
STatiana [176]

Covalent bonds or interactions are overcome when a nonmetal extended network melts.

Typically, nonmetals form covalent bonds with one another. A polyatomic ion's atoms are joined by a form of link called covalent bonding. A covalent bond requires two electrons, one from each of the two atoms that are connecting.

One technique to depict the formation of covalent connections between atoms is with Lewis dot formations. The number of unpaired electrons and the number of bonds that can be formed by each element are typically identical. Each element needs to share an unpaired electron in order to establish a covalent bond.

Therefore, covalent bonds or interactions are overcome when a nonmetal extended network melts.

POS MOLECULES SPEED UP WHEN ENERGY IS CREATED AND SLOW DOWN WHEN ENERGY IS DESTROYED True False? explain why​
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: Scientists use the term bioenergetics to describe the concept of energy flow (Figure 4.2) through living systems, such as cells. Cellular processes such as the building and breaking down of complex molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are spontaneous and release energy, whereas others require energy to proceed. Just as living things must continually consume food to replenish their energy supplies, cells must continually produce more energy to replenish that used by the many energy-requiring chemical reactions that constantly take place. Together, all of the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that consume or generate energy, are referred to as the cell’s metabolism.

A quantity of 0.225 g of a metal M (molar mass = 27.0 g/mol) liberated 0.303 L of molecular hydrogen (measured at 17°C and 741 m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Oxide of M is M_2O_3 and sulfate of M_2(SO_4)_3

Explanation:

0.303 L of molecular hydrogen gas measured at 17°C and 741 mmHg.

Let moles of hydrogen gas be n.

Temperature of the gas ,T= 17°C =290 K

Pressure of the gas ,P= 741 mmHg= 0.9633 atm

Volume occupied by gas , V = 0.303 L

Using an ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9633 atm\times 0.303 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 290 K}=0.01225 mol

Moles of hydrogen gas produced = 0.01225 mol

2M+2xHCl\rightarrow 2MCl_x+xH_2

Moles of metal =\frac{0.225 g}{27.0 g/mol}=8.3333 mol

So, 8.3333 mol of metal M gives 0.01225 mol of hydrogen gas.

\frac{8.3333}{0.01225 mol}=\frac{2}{x}

x = 2.9 ≈ 3

2M+6HCl\rightarrow 2MCl_3+3H_2

MCl_3\rightarrow M^{3+}+Cl^-

Formulas for the oxide and sulfate of M will be:

Oxide of M is M_2O_3 and sulfate of M_2(SO_4)_3.
