An unknown piece of metal weighing 95.0 g is heated to 98.0°C. It is dropped into 250.0 g of water at 23.0°C. When equilibrium i

s reached, the temperature of the water and piece of metal is 29.0°C. Determine the specific heat of the metal. Assume the heat capacity of the container, a styrofoam cup, is negligible.

Answer:

C_{metal}=126.6\frac{J}{g\°C}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when two substances at different temperature are put in contact and an equilibrium temperature is attained, we can evidence that the heat lost by the hot substance (metal) is gained by the cold substance (water) and we can write:

Q_{metal}=-Q_{water}

Which can be also written as:

m_{metal}C_{metal}(T_{EQ}-T_{metal})=-m_{water}C_{water}(T_{EQ}-T_{water})

Thus, since we need the specific heat of the metal, we solve for it as shown below:

C_{metal}=\frac{m_{water}C_{water}(T_{EQ}-T_{water})}{-m_{metal}(T_{EQ}-T_{metal})} \\\\C_{metal}=\frac{250.0g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}(29.0\°C-98.0\°C)}{95.0g(29.0\°C-23.0\°C)} \\\\C_{metal}=126.6\frac{J}{g\°C}

Best regards.

How many primary tectonic plates make up the surface of Earth?
dimaraw [331]


There are about 7 or 8 primary tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made of about a dozen plates. The plates fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. However, the plates can move. This causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains to form.

Hope it helps

In Part III, the phenolphthalein indicator is used to monitor the equilibrium shifts of the ammonia/ammonium ion system. The phe
AnnZ [28]

The pink color in the solution fades. Some of the colored indicator ion converts to the colorless indicator molecule.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the initial color of the solution?

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} is a salt soluble in water. \text{NH}_4\text{Cl} dissociates into ions completely when dissolved.

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} \; (aq)\to {\text{NH}_4}^{+} \; (aq) +{\text{Cl}}^{-} \; (aq).

The first test tube used to contain \text{NH}_4\text{OH}. \text{NH}_4\text{OH} is a weak base that dissociates partially in water.

\text{NH}_4\text{OH} \; (aq) \rightleftharpoons {\text{NH}_4}^{+}  \;(aq)+ {\text{OH}}^{-} \; (aq).

There's also an equilibrium between \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions.

{\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l).

\text{OH}^{-} ions from \text{NH}_4\text{OH} will shift the equilibrium between \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} to the right and reduce the amount of {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} in the solution.

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions along with the colored indicator ions. The solution will show a pink color.

What's the color of the solution after adding NH₄Cl?

Adding \text{NH}_4\text{Cl} will add to the concentration of {\text{NH}_4}^{+} ions in the solution. Some of the {\text{NH}_4}^{+} ions will combine with \text{OH}^{-} ions to produce \text{NH}_4\text{OH}.

The equilibrium between  \text{OH}^{-} and {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} ions will shift to the left to produce more of both ions.

{\text{OH}}^{-}\;(aq) + {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} \;(aq) \to 2\; \text{H}_2\text{O} \;(l)

The indicator equilibrium will shift to the left as the concentration of {\text{H}_3\text{O}}^{+} increases. There will be less colored ions and more colorless molecules in the test tube. The pink color will fade.
