14. In the lab, an experimenter mixes 75.0 g of water (initially at 30oC) with 83.8 g of a solid metal (initially at 600oC). At
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Tungsten is used for this experiment

Explanation:

This is a Thermal - equilibrium situation. we can use the equation.

Loss of Heat of the Metal = Gain of Heat by the Water

                      -Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\

                    Q = mΔTC_{p}

Q = heat

m = mass

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₂ = final temperature

T₁ = Initial temperature

Cp = Specific heat capacity

<u>Metal</u>

m = 83.8 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 600⁰C

Cp = x

<u>Water</u>

m = 75 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 30⁰C

Cp = 4.184 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

               -Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\

⇒ - 83.8 x x x (50 - 600) = 75 x 4.184 x (50 - 30)

⇒ x = \frac{6276}{46090} = 0.13 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

We know specific heat capacity of Tungsten = 0.134 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

So metal Tungsten used in this experiment

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction occurring in an electrolytic cell:
Vikki [24]
The answer is (4) at the cathode, where reduction occurs. The Na+ gains one electron and become Na(l). So the reaction occurs at cathode and is reduction reaction.

Carbon is the main constituent of hydrocarbons. Why some are called unsaturated hydrocarbon? Briefly describe.
maw [93]

Some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

<h3>What are hydrocarbons?</h3>

Hydrocarbons are any organic compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon in its structure.

Hydrocarbons can be grouped into the following based on whether they contain single or double bonds:

  1. Saturated hydrocarbons - contain only single bonds e.g. alkanes
  2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons - contain double and triple bonds e.g. alkenes

Therefore, it can be said that some hydrocarbons are regarded as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.

What happens to an object at rest if balanced forces act upon it?
OLga [1]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it. If you apply balanced forces on the object there would be no net force. The body does not accelerate but instead stays at rest.

Another way to look at this problem is to use Newton's second law of motion. The first law states that F = m\times a, where a is the accelerationF is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

When F is zero, the acceleration of the object is zero. This means that if the object had a velocity of zero before the balanced forces started acting, the velocity will stay at zero after the balanced forces begin to act. If  the object was moving at a constant velocity before the balanced forces started acting on it, it would continue at that constant velocity after the balanced forces begin to act.
