Answer:

1.104 J/g°C

Explanation:

Using Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific hear capacity (J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

For a colorimeter,

Q(water) = - Q(metal)

m. c. ∆T (water) = - m. c. ∆T (metal)

According to the information provided;

For water:

m = 28.0g

c = 4.184 J/g°C

∆T = (21.23 - 19.73°C)

For the metal:

m = 2.05g

c = ?

∆T = (21.23 - 98.88°C)

m. c. ∆T (water) = - m. c. ∆T (metal)

[28 × 4.184 × (21.23 - 19.73°C)] = -[2.05 × c × (21.23 - 98.88°C)]

[117.152 × 1.5] = -[2.05 × c × (-77.65)]

175.728 = -[-159.1825c]

175.728 = 159.1825c

c = 175.728 ÷ 159.1825

c = 1.104

c = 1.104 J/g°C

An electrochemical cell is constructed using two half-cells: Al(s) in Al(NO2)3(aq) and Cu(s) in Cu(NO3)2(aq). The two half cells
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)

Explanation:

The standard reduction potential (E°) is the energy necessary to reduce the atom in a redox reaction. When an atom reduces it gains electrons from other than oxides. As higher is E°, easily it will reduce. The substance that reduces is at the cathode of a cell, where the electrons go to, and the other that oxides are at the anode of the cell.

The standard reduction potentials from Al(s) and Cu(s) are, respectively, -1.66V and +0.15V, so the half-cell of Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) is the cathode.

What is the similarities of freezing of water and electrolysis of water​
erastova [34]

Answer:

Electrolysis of water is the process of using electricity to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas released in this way can be used as hydrogen fuel, or remixed with the oxygen to create oxyhydrogen gas, which is used in welding and other applications.Ordinarily, the freezing point of water and melting point is 0 °C or 32 °F. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs or if there are impurities present in the water which could cause freezing point depression to occur. Under certain conditions, water may remain a liquid as cold as -40 to -42°
