A 76.0-gram piece of metal at 96.0 °C is placed in 120.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 24.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

lorimeter is 31.0 °C. Determine the specific heat of the metal. Show your work by listing various steps, and explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to this situation.

Answer:

S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C

Explanation:

We can find specific heat of a material, S, using the equation:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is change in heat, m is the mass of the substance, S specific heat and ΔT change in temperature.</em>

The heat given by the metal is equal to the heat that water absorbs, that is:

m(Metal)*S(metal)*ΔT(Metal) = m(Water)*S(water)*ΔT(water)

<em>Where:</em>

m(Metal) = 76.0g

S(metal) = ?

ΔT(Metal) = 96.0°C-31.0°C = 65.0°C

m(Water) = 120.0g

S(water) = 4.184J/g°C

ΔT(water) = 31.0°C-24.5°C = 6.5°C

Replacing:

76.0g*S(metal)*65.0°C = 120.0g*4.184J/g°C*6.5°C

S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C

<em />

The law of conservation applies because the energy is not been created or destroyed. The energy that the metal gives is absorbed by the water.

galben [10]

Answer:

I. Increasing pressure will allow more frequent successful collision between particles due to the particles being closer together.

II. Rate of reaction increases due to more products being made; as increased pressure favours the exothermic side of the equilibrium.

III. Increasing temperature provides particles lots of (Kinetic) energy, for more frequent successful collision due to the particles moving at a faster rate than before. However, favouring the endothermic side of the equilibrium due to lots of energy required to break and form new bonds.

IV. Rate of reaction increases due to increase temperature favouring both directions of the equilibrium - causing products to form faster.

One __________ of a substance contains the same number of molecules/atoms as in 12 grams of carbon 12
mash [69]

Answer:

"mole"

Explanation:

That is the definition of mole. Mole is a unit for the measurement of how much there is of something. In other words, in SI, 1 mol of a substance contains the same number of molecules/atoms as in 12 grams of carbon 12.

(Approximately 6.28 × 10^23 --> Avogadro's constant)

just olya [345]
1. Group: Groups shows the number of valence electrons and are shown in columns on the periodic table.

2. Period: Periods show the number of energy levels each element has and are shown in rows on the periodic table (up and down).

3. Blocks are show the amount of orbitals each element has. There is an s block, d block, p block, and f block.
