Water has a high specific heat. It needs to absorb 4.184 Joules of heat for one gram of water to increase its temperature by 1 degree celsius.
Water in car radiators is used as coolant because it takes longer to heat up. It needs to absorb large amount of heat energy before it changes its temperature and begins to get hot.
b) law of conservation of energy
Answer:
6,04x10⁻³M
Explanation:
For the reaction:
Fe(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → Cu(s) + FeSO₄(aq)
The precipitate of Cu(s) weights 96,0 mg. In moles:
Moles of Cu(s):
0,096g×(1mol/63,546g) = 1,51x10⁻³ moles of Cu(s). If you see the balanced equation 1 mole of CuSO₄ produce 1 mole of Cu(s). That means moles of CuSO₄ are the same of Cu(s), <em>1,51x10⁻³ moles of CuSO₄</em>
As volume of the solution is 250 mL, 0,250L, the molar concentration of the original solution is:
1,51x10⁻³ moles of CuSO₄ / 0,250L = <em>6,04x10⁻³M</em>
I hope it helps!
