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

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

exceeds evaporation over land

Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
  • Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
  • Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.

Twenty five grams of Iron 3 oxide react with an excess of carbon monoxide to form 15 g of Fe. Carbon dioxide is the other produc
densk [106]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Theoretical mass = 17.42 g

Percent yield of Fe = 86.11%

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide is given by;

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

We are required to calculate the theoretical yield and the percentage yield of Iron.

Step 1: Moles of iron (iii) oxide

Moles are given by dividing the mass of the compound by the molar mass.

Molar mass of Iron(iii) oxide = 159.69 g/mol

Moles of Iron(III) oxide = 25 g ÷ 159.69 g/mol

                                     = 0.156 moles

Step 2: Moles of Iron produced

From the equation 1 mole of Iron(iii) oxide reacts to produce 2 moles of Fe.

Therefore, the mole ratio of Fe₂O₃ to Fe is 1 : 2.

Thus, moles of Fe = Moles of Fe₂O₃ × 2

                              = 0.156 moles × 2

                              = 0.312 moles

Step 3: Theoretical mass of iron produced

To calculate the mass of iron we multiply the number of moles of iron with the relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass = 55.845

Mass of iron = 0.312 moles × 55.845

                    = 17.42 g

Step 4: Percent yield of iron

% yield = (Actual mass ÷ Theoretical mass)×100

            = (15 g ÷ 17.42 g) × 100 %

            = 86.11%
