12oz of water initially at 75oF is mixed with 20oz of water intiially at 140oF. What is the final temperature?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

115.625^{\circ}\text{F}

Explanation:

m_1 = First mass of water = 12 oz

m_2 = Second mass of water = 20 oz

\Delta T_1 = Temperature difference of the solution with respect to the first mass of water = (T-75)^{\circ}\text{F}

\Delta T_2 = Temperature difference of the solution with respect to the second mass of water = (T-75)^{\circ}\text{F}

c = Specific heat of water

As heat gain and loss in the system is equal we have

m_1c\Delta T_1=m_2c\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow m_1\Delta T_1=m_2\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow 12(T-75)=20(140-T)\\\Rightarrow 12T-900=2800-20T\\\Rightarrow 12T+20T=2800+900\\\Rightarrow 32T=3700\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{3700}{32}\\\Rightarrow T=115.625^{\circ}\text{F}

The final temperature of the solution is 115.625^{\circ}\text{F}.

What is the Law of conservation of mass? If one was given the mass of all the products, would it be possible to find the missing
DaniilM [7]
Learning Objective

Define the law of conservation of mass
Key Points

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.
Terms

reactantAny of the participants present at the start of a chemical reaction. Also, a molecule before it undergoes a chemical change.
law of conservation of massA law that states that mass cannot be created or destroyed; it is merely rearranged.
productA chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
History of the Law of the Conservation of Mass

The ancient Greeks first proposed the idea that the total amount of matter in the universe is constant. However, Antoine Lavoisier described the law of conservation of mass (or the principle of mass/matter conservation) as a fundamental principle of physics in 1789.


Antoine LavoisierA portrait of Antoine Lavoisier, the scientist credited with the discovery of the law of conservation of mass.
This law states that, despite chemical reactions or physical transformations, mass is conserved — that is, it cannot be created or destroyed — within an isolated system. In other words, in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products will always be equal to the mass of the reactants.

The Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy

This law was later amended by Einstein in the law of conservation of mass-energy, which describes the fact that the total mass and energy in a system remain constant. This amendment incorporates the fact that mass and energy can be converted from one to another. However, the law of conservation of mass remains a useful concept in chemistry, since the energy produced or consumed in a typical chemical reaction accounts for a minute amount of mass.

We can therefore visualize chemical reactions as the rearrangement of atoms and bonds, while the number of atoms involved in a reaction remains unchanged. This assumption allows us to represent a chemical reaction as a balanced equation, in which the number of moles of any element involved is the same on both sides of the equation. An additional useful application of this law is the determination of the masses of gaseous reactants and products. If the sums of the solid or liquid reactants and products are known, any remaining mass can be assigned to gas.

0.0400 M solution of HClO2, pH = 1.80 solve for Ka
umka2103 [35]
Ka for weak acids is ---> Ka= (X)²/ (initial- X)

initial= 0.0400 M

to find X, you can find the H concentration using pH

[H+]= 10^-pH
[H+]= 10^-1.80= 0.016 which is X

ka = (0.016)²/ (0.0400 - 0.016) = 0.011

How could you ensure that all the spectroscopes created the same calibration line and equation?
alekssr [168]
How could you ensure that all the spectroscopes created the same calibration line and equation?

Answer: You would simply have to take all the spectroscopes reading and ensure that all the helium lines are recorded in regard with the scale along with their colors and wavelengths. All this data should be graphed on a calibration plot and analyzed.

I hope it helps, Regards.
