A student obtained an unknown metal sample that weighed 65.3 g and at a temperature of 99.8oC, he placed it in a calorimeter con

taining 43.7 g of water at 25.7oC. At equilibrium the temperature of the water and metal was 34.5oC. Knowing the specific heat of the water to be 4.18 J/goC, what is the specific heat of the metal

Answer:

0.377 J/gºC

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of metal (Mₘ) = 65.3 g

Initial temperature of metal (Tₘ) = 99.8 °C

Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 43.7 g

Initial temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 25.7 °C

Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 34.5 °C

Specific heat capacity of water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.18 J/gºC

Specific heat capacity of metal (Cₘ) =?

The specific heat capacity of metal can be obtained as illustrated below:

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water.

MₘCₘ(Tₘ – Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Cᵥᵥ)

65.3 × Cₘ (99.8 – 34.5) = 43.7 × 4.18 (34.5 – 25.7)

65.3Cₘ × 65.3 = 182.666 × 8.8

4264.09Cₘ = 1607.4608

Divide both side by 4264.09

Cₘ = 1607.4608 / 4264.09

Cₘ = 0.377 J/gºC

Therefore the specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.377 J/gºC

The British gold sovereign coin is an alloy of gold and copper having a total mass of 7.988 g, and is 22-karat gold.
azamat

Answer:

(a) m_{gold}=7.322g

(b)

V_{gold}=0.379cm^3

V_{copper}=0.122cm^3

(c) \rho _{coin}=15.94g/cm^3

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, with the given formula we easily compute the mass of gold contained in the sovereign  as shown below:

m_{gold}=\frac{m_{tota}*karats}{24}=\frac{7.988g*22}{24}=7.322g

(b) Now, by knowing the density of gold and copper, 19.32 and 8.94 g/cm³ respectively, we compute each volume, by also knowing that the rest of the coin contains copper:

V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}} =\frac{7.322g}{19.32g/cm^3}=0.379cm^3

m_{copper}=7.988g-7.322g=1.09g\\V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}=\frac{1.09g}{8.94g/cm^3}  \\\\V_{copper}=0.122cm^3

(c) Finally, the volume is computed by dividing the total mass over the total volume containing both gold and copper:

\rho _{coin}=\frac{m_{total}}{V_{gold}+V_{copper}}=\frac{7.988 g}{0.379cm^3+0.122cm^3}\\  \\\rho _{coin}=15.94g/cm^3

Best regards.

Which isotope has the greatest number of protons?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The isotope with the greatest number of protons is:

  • <u>option D:  Pu-239, with 94 protons</u>

Explanation:

The number of <em>protons</em> is the atomic number and is a unique number for each type of element.

You can tell the number of protons searching the element in a periodic table and reading its atomic number.

Thus, this is how you tell the number of protons or each isotope

Sample       Chemical symbol  Element       atomic number   # of protons

A Pa-238       Pa                         protactinium         91                        91

B U-240         U                          uranium                 92                       92

C Np-238       Np                        neptunium            93                       93

D Pu-239        Pu                        plutonium              94                       94

A bottle of coke is 250.0 mL. What is the volume in cubic centimeters?
hoa [83]

Answer:

The volume in cubic centimeters is 250

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So:

x=\frac{c*b}{a}

The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case where there is a change of units. To perform this conversion of units, you must first know that 1 mL = 1 cubic centimeters. So, if 1 cubic centimeters is 1 mL, how many cubic centimeters equals 250 mL?

cubic centimeters=\frac{250 mL*1 cubic centimeters }{1 mL}

cubic centimeters= 250

<u><em>The volume in cubic centimeters is 250</em></u>

The removal of one or more electrons from a neutral atom results in and
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The removal of one or more electrons from a neutral atom results in a cation.

Explanation:

When you remove electrons from a neutral atom, the atom becomes more positive. Electrons have a negative charge and the protons inside of the nucleus have a positive charge. When electrons are removed, the positive charges from the protons outweigh the negative charges. This results in a positively charged atom, called a cation.
