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.

dedylja [7]
1 can of soda has 12 ounces * 2.01 mg/oz = 24.12 mg of caffeine.

1 gram = 1000 mg

10 grams x 1000 mg = 10,000 mg

Divide total mg by mg per can:

10,000 / 24.12 = 414.59 cans

Round to 415 cans

Porque esta vivo un ser vivo?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>Scientifically speaking, living things are alive because they have complex systems that allow them to be born, grow, reproduce and, when systems fail, die.</u>

Explanation:

The translation of the question is:

  • why is a living being alive?

<h2>Solution</h2>

Answering from a scientific point of view, not a philoshophical one, a <em>living </em>organism is differentiated from a non-living entity in that the <em>living being</em> is born, grows, has the ability to reproduce and dies.

All that is possible because the living beings posses a complex network of systems that sustain their life.

Those systems include the homeosthasis, the metabolism, the answer to external stimulus, the ability of adaptation, the development (growing) and the reproduction.

To be considered a living being the organism must count wiht all those systems.

It is important that you know that viruses are not living organisms: they are chemical molecules which do not have metabolism and do not grow.

The standard free energy change in physiological conditions (G') for the reaction catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase in the citri
Papessa [141]

Answer: The actual value of \Delta G is -618 J/mol

Explanation:

Relation of ree energy change and equilibrium constant

\Delta G=\Delta G^0+2.303\times RT\times \log K_{eq}

where,

\Delta G = Free energy change

\Delta G^o = standard free energy change = +29 kJ/mol =

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature = 37^0C=(37+273)K=310K

K_{eq} = equilibrium constant = 1.02\times 10^{-5}

\Delta G=+29000J/mol+2.303\times 8.314J/Kmol\times 310K\times \log (1.02\times 10^{-5})

\Delta G=29000J/mol-29619J/mol=-618J/mol

The actual value of \Delta G is -618 J/mol

You work in a lab. You need a 15% acid solution for a procedure, but your supplier only sells a 10% solution and a 30% solution.
aev [14]

Answer:

10% solution volume =7.5 L

30% solution volume =  2.5 L

Explanation:

assume 10% solution volume is  x

So  30% solution volume = 10-x  

Required 15% solution= x volume of 10% solution+ (10-x) volume of 30% solution

0.15 * 10L= 0.1 x + (10- x)* 0.3

1.5= 0.1 x+ 3 -0.3 x

0.2 x= 1.5

x= 7.5

10% solution volume is  x =7.5 L

So  30% solution volume = 10-x  = 10-7.5= 2.5 L
