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.

What is the mole fraction of O2O2 in a mixture of 15.1 gg of O2O2, 8.19 gg of N2N2, and 2.46 gg of H2H2
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Mole fraction O₂=  0.43

Explanation:

Mole fraction is the moles of gas/ total moles.

Let's determine the moles of each:

Moles O₂ → 15.1 g / 16 g/mol = 0.94

Moles N₂  →  8.19 g / 14 g/mol = 0.013

Moles H₂  → 2.46 / 2 g/mol = 1.23

Total moles = 2.183

Mole fraction O₂= 0.94 / 2.183 → 0.43
