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.

What volume of carbon dioxide is produced when 6.40 g of methane gas, CH4 (g), reacts with excess oxygen? All gases are at 35.0C
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

V = 10.3 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of methane = 6.40 g

Volume of CO₂ produced = ?

Temperature = 35°C (35+273 = 308 K)

Pressure = 100.0 KPa (100.0/101 = 0.98 atm)

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ +  2O₂        →       CO₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of CH₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6.40 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with CH₄.

         CH₄          :         CO₂

           1             :           1

        0.4            :         0.4

Volume of CO₂:

Formula:

PV = nRT

0.98 atm ×V = 0.4 mol ×0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×  308 K

0.98 atm ×V = 10.11 atm.L

V = 10.11 atm.L /0.98 atm

V = 10.3 L

Answer:

The answer to your question is     V2 = 4.97 l

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 4.40 L                    Volume 2 =

Temperature 1 = T1 = 19°C               Temperature 2 = T2 = 37°C

Pressure 1 = P1 = 783 mmHg           Pressure 2 = 735 mmHg

Process

1.- Convert temperature to °K

T1 = 19 + 273 = 292°K

T2 = 37 + 273 = 310°K

2.- Use the combined gas law to solve this problem

                  P1V1/T1  = P2V2/T2

-Solve for V2

                  V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2

-Substitution

                  V2 = (783 x 4.40 x 310) / (292 x 735)

-Simplification

                 V2 = 1068012 / 214620

-Result

                 V2 = 4.97 l
