It is amorphous because it gets softer and softer, and it doesn't melt at a distinct temperature.

3. A 31.2-g piece of silver (s = 0.237 J/(g · °C)), initially at 277.2°C, is added to 185.8 g of a liquid, initially at 24.4°C,

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$Cp_{liquid}=2.54\frac{J}{g\°C}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since silver is initially hot as it cools down, the heat it loses is gained by the liquid, which can be thermodynamically represented by:

$Q_{Ag}=-Q_{liquid}$

That in terms of the heat capacities, masses and temperature changes turns out:

$m_{Ag}Cp_{Ag}(T_2-T_{Ag})=-m_{liquid}Cp_{liquid}(T_2-T_{liquid})$

Since no phase change is happening. Thus, solving for the heat capacity of the liquid we obtain:

$Cp_{liquid}=\frac{m_{Ag}Cp_{Ag}(T_2-T_{Ag})}{-m_{liquid}(T_2-T_{liquid})} \\\\Cp_{liquid}=\frac{31.2g*0.237\frac{J}{g\°C}*(28.3-227.2)\°C}{185.8g*(28.3-24.4)\°C}\\ \\Cp_{liquid}=2.54\frac{J}{g\°C}$

Best regards.

Answer:

HCl is the formula for Hydrochloric acid

Explanation:

Chemical formula is a formula of a compound showing the symbols of elements present in the compound.
Chemical formula also shows the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.
HCl is the chemical formula of hydrochloric acid. From this formula we can tell that hydrochloric acid is made up of hydrogen and chlorine elements.
The formula also shows that HCl contains 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom.
