A 2.61 g sample of a substance suspected of being pure gold is warmed to 72.8 ∘C and submerged into 15.8 g of water initially at
24.9 ∘C. The final temperature of the mixture is 26.1 ∘C. What is the specific heat capacity of the unknown substance (in J/g*ºC)?
1 answer:
<span>mg = 2.42 g
Tg = 72.2 deg.C
mw = 15.8 g
Tw = 24.5
Tf = 27 deg. C
Cw = 4.18 J/g. deg. C
Energy balance for insulated system,
ΔE = 0
ΔUw + ΔUg = 0
ΔUw = - ΔUg
Qin = Qout
mg*cg*ΔTg = mw*cw*ΔTw
2.42*cg*(72.2 - 27) = 15.8*4.18*(27 - 24.5)
cg = 1.5095 J/g. deg.C or 1.5095 J/g.K</span><span>

Answer: 8500 J lost or -8500 J
Explanation:
q=cmt
t=375-26
t=349
q=0.38(64)(349)
q=8487.68 J
Answer must have 2 sig figs, which means it rounds to 8500 J.
Networks of feeding relationships is correct
Kinetic Molecular Theory states that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions.
C7H14 + 10.5 O2 -> 7 CO2 + 7 H2O
Or, if whole numbers must be used:
2 C7H14 + 21 O2 -> 14 CO2 + 7 H2O
Answer:
56.69905
Explanation:
The conversion factor from pounds to kilograms is 0.45359237, which means that 1 pound is equal to 0.45359237 kilograms.
