Answer:

0.71 J/g°C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

thermometer A 51.9 g sample of quartz is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 300.0 g of water. The quartz sample starts off at 97.8 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 17.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 19.3 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. insulated container water sample Calculate the specific heat capacity of quartz according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits. a calorimeter g °C

Solution

Since the temperature of the water increases from 17.0 °C to 19.3 °C, it means that it loses heat. Also, the final temperature of the quartz equals the final temperature of the water 19.3 °C. Since the quartz temperature decreases from 97.8 °C to 19.3 °C it loses heat.

So, heat lost by quartz, Q = heat gained by water, Q'

-Q = Q'

-mc(θ₂ - θ₁) = m'c'(θ₂ - θ₃) where m = mass of quartz = 51.9 g, c = specific heat capacity of quartz, θ₁ = initial temperature of quartz = 97.8 °C, θ₂ = final temperature of quartz = 19.3 °C, m' = mass of water = 300 g, c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g °C , θ₃ = initial temperature of water = 17.0 °C, θ₂ = final temperature of water = 19.3 °C

Making c subject of the formula, we have

c = -m'c'(θ₂ - θ₃)/m(θ₂ - θ₁)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

c = -300 g × 4.2 J/g °C(19.3 °C - 17.0 °C)/51.9 g(19.3 °C - 97.8 °C)

c = -1260 J/°C(2.3 °C)/51.9 g(-78.5 °C)

c = -2898 J/-4074.15 g°C

c = 0.711 J/g°C

c ≅ 0.71 J/g°C to 2 significant digits

Boiling water is a physical change, because it is changing state of matter, there is a controllable temperature change, and you can change it back.

Chloroform, CHCl3, reacts with chlorine, Cl2, to form carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. In an experiment 2
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Chloroform= limiting reactant

0.209mol of CCl4 is formed

And 32.186g of CCl4 is formed

Explanation:

The equation of reaction

CHCl3 + Cl2= CCl4 + HCl

From the equation 1 mol of

CHCl3 reacts with 1mol Cl2 to yield 1mol of CCl4

From the question

25g of CHCl3 really with Cl2

Molar mass of CHCl3= 119.5

Molar mass of Cl2 = 71

Hence moles of CHCl3= 25/119.5 = 0.209mol

Moles of Cl2 = 25/71 = 0.352mol

Hence CHCl3 is the limiting reactant

Since 1 mole of CHCl3 gave 1mol of CCl4

It implies that 0.209moles of CHCl3 will also give 0.209mol of CCl4

Mass of CCl4 formed = moles× molar mass= 0.209×154= 32.186g

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area
Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = 5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2      (Conversion factor:  1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2  )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = 182.88\times 10^3cm     (Conversion factor:  1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}

We are given:

Density of ice = 0.917g/cm^3

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = 142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g

Hence, the mass of ice is 2.39\times 10^{22}g
