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.

In this experiment, we will be performing a titration with a buret. place the steps in order. 1. record the ph when 0.0 ml of na

I am guessing that your solutions of HCl and of NaOH have approximately the same concentrations. Then the equivalence point will occur at pH 7 near 25 mL NaOH.

The steps are already in the correct order.

1. Record the pH when you have added 0 mL of NaOH to your beaker containing 25 mL of HCl and 25 mL of deionized water.

2. Record the pH of your partially neutralized HCl solution when you have added 5.00 mL of NaOH from the buret.

3. Record the pH of your partially neutralized HCl solution when you have added 10.00 mL, 15.00 mL and 20.00 mL of NaOH.

4. Record the NaOH of your partially neutralized HCl solution when you have added 21.00 mL, 22.00 mL, 23.00 mL and 24.00 mL of NaOH.

5. Add NaOH one drop at a time until you reach a pH of 7.00, then record the volume of NaOH added from the buret ( at about 25 mL).

6. Record the pH of your basic HCl-NaOH solution when you have added 26.00 mL, 27.00 mL, 28.00 mL, 29.00 mL and 30.00 mL of NaOH.

7. Record the pH of your basic HCl-NaOH solution when you have added 35.00 mL, 40.00 mL, 45.00 mL and 50.00 mL of NaOH from your 50mL buret.

which tool was mostly likely used in a procedure if the lab report shows that approximately 300 ml of water was used
DiKsa [7]

it is most likely a beaker, beacuse 300ml is quite a large volume. Otherwise, it would be a measuring cylinder or pippette

Why are isotopes with short half-lives not useful for dating very old rocks?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes within these brains typically record the ages of the grains-not the time when the sedimentary rock was formed, making it difficult to date using radiometric dating. The half-life of U-235 is 704 million years.

Explanation:

hope this helps but if i'm wrong then i'm sorry..
