Answer:

As you go down the periodic table, usually atoms get bigger because n gets bigger (there are electrons in higher shells). Effective nuclear charge does get bigger too going down the periodic table, but this effect is smaller than the change in shell.

A 13.5g sample of gold is heated, then placed in a calorimeter containing 60g of water. The temperature of water increases from

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

$T_i~=163.1$ ºC

Explanation:

We have to start with the variables of the problem:

Mass of water = 60 g

Mass of gold = 13.5 g

Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC

Final temperature of water= 20 ºC

Initial temperature of gold= Unknow

Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC

Specific heat of gold = 0.13J/gºC

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Now if we remember the heat equation:

$Q_H_2_O=m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT$

$Q_A_u=m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT$

We can relate these equations if we take into account that all heat of gold is transfer to the water, so:

$m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT=~-~m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT$

Now we can put the values into the equation:

$60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C=-(13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C*(20-T_i)~{\circ}C)$

Now we can solve for the initial temperature of gold, so:

$T_i~=(\frac{60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C}{13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C})+20$

$T_i~=163.1$ ºC

I hope it helps!

You are asked to weigh approximately 0. 4g of acetylsalicylic acid to the nearest mg. When you enter the data in grams in your l

krok68 [10]

Number of significant figures will be 1

Given:

weight of acetylsalicylic acid = 0. 4g

To Find:

significant figures

Solution: Significant figures are the digits of value which carry meaning towards the resolution of the measurement. They are also called significant figures in chemistry. All the experimental measurements have some kind of uncertainty associated with them.

When we convert 0.4g acetylsalicylic acid to mg we get value 400mg

when we convert 400mg to gram we get value of 0.4 gram

Since 0 before a decimal is not significant so there is only one significant figure that is 4
