A 2.50 g sample of zinc is heated, then placed in a calorimeter containing 65.0 g of water. Temperature of water increases from

20.00 oC to 22.50 oC. The specific heat of zinc is 0.390 J/goC. What was the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample? (final temperatures of zinc and water are the same)

Answer:

719.83°C

Explanation:

The heat that the sample of Zinc gives is equal to the heat that water is absorbing. That is:

C(Zn) * m(Zn) * ΔT(Zn) = C(H2O) * m(H2O) * ΔT(H2O)

<em>Where:</em>

<em>C is specific heat (Zn: 0.390J/g°C; H2O: 4.184J/g°C)</em>

<em>m is mass (Zn: 2.50g; H2O: 65.0g)</em>

<em>ΔT (Zn: ?; H2O: (22.5°C - 20.0°C = 2.50°C)</em>

<em />

Replacing:

0.390J/g°C * 2.50g * ΔT(Zn) = 4.184J/g°C * 65.0g * 2.50

ΔT(Zn) = 697.33°C

As final temperature of Zn is 22.50°C, initial temperature is:

Initial temperature: 697.33°C + 22.50°C

719.83°C

What is the net ionic equation for the following? :)
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

1. Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) → 2Na(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)

2. 2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + Cd(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation of a reaction express only the chemical species that are involved in the reaction:

1. Mg (s) + Na2CrO4 (aq) → 2Na + MgCrO4(aq)

The ionic equation:

Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) + CrO4²⁻ (aq) → 2Na + Mg²⁺ + CrO4²⁻(aq)

Subtracting the ions that don't change:

<h3>Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) → 2Na + Mg²⁺</h3>

2. 2K(s) + Cd(NO3)2(aq) → 2KNO3(aq) + Cd(s)

The ionic equation:

2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq) + Cd(s)

Subtracting the ions that don't change:

<h3>2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + Cd(s)</h3>

In the following redox reaction which is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent? AlCl3 + Na NaCl + Al
horrorfan [7]

Answer :  Al

Explanation :

- For a given redox reaction there must be an oxidizing agent/(s) and a reducing agent/(s).

- the oxidizing agent is the substance that undergoes reduction process (gaining electrons or loss of oxygen atoms), meanwhile, the reducing agent is the substance that undergoes oxidation process (loss of electrons or gaining of oxygen atoms).

- In the reaction above, the oxidation number of (Al) in AlCl3 is (3+). However, the oxidation number of (Al) in the products is zero because it exists as a single element.

Therefore, changing from (3+) to zero means gaining of (3) electrons to neutralize the previously existing (3) protons on (Al) in AlCl3.

So Al is the oxidizing agent..
