Answer:

The metal sphere was made of iron.

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the metal sphere = heat gained by the mercury.

Cm(t₁-t₃) = C'm'(t₃-t₂)................... Equation 1

Where C = specific heat capacity of the metal sphere, m = mass of the metal sphere, C' = specific heat capacity of the mercury, m' = mass of the mercury.

t₁ = initial temperature of the metal sphere, t₂ = initial temperature of the mercury, t₃ = Final temperature of the mixture.

Make C the subject of the equation

C = C'm'(t₃-t₂)/m(t₁-t₃)................. Equation 2

Given: m = 0.5 kg, m' = 4.08 kg, t₁ = 300 °C, t₂ = 20 °C, t₃ = 99 °C

Constant: C' = 140 J/kgK.

Substitute into equation 2

C = [140×4.08×(99-20)]/[0.5×(300-99)]

C = 45124.8/100.5

C = 449.0 J/kgK.

Hence from the specific heat capacity data sheet, the metal is suspected to  be  made of iron.

A galvanic cell whose cell reaction is 2Fe3+(aq) + Zn(s) → 2Fe2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq) has a cell potential of 0.72V. What is the maxim
sesenic [268]

Answer:

138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work

Explanation:

The maximum electrical work that can be obtained from a cell is obtained from the equation:

W = -nFE

<em>Where W is work in Joules,</em>

<em>n are moles of electrons = 2mol e- because half-reaction of Zn is:</em>

Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

F is faraday constant = 96500Coulombs/mol

E is cell potential = 0.72V

Replacing:

W = -2mol*96500Coulombs/mol*0.72V

W = - 138960J =

<h3>138.96kJ is the maximum electrical work</h3>

Who conducted experiments to determine the quantity of charge carried by an electron?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

it was Millikan. He conducted the oil drop experiment. Thomson determined the electon charge not the quantity. Rutherford used the gold foil experiment to find positive charge and that most of the atom is empty space. Dalton proposed that matter was made of small particles called atoms but that was a concept already proposed by ancient greeks. Dalton also proposed the atomic theory.

Aaliya knows that sliced apples turn brown when left out in the open air. She also knows that pouring certain liquids on then wi
fenix001 [56]

An apple should be cut into 4 equal pieces, then put each slice in a separate container and label accordingly with letters A, B, C, and Control. Put water, ginger ale, and lemon juice into containers A, B, and C respectively but leave the Control untouched. Observe which of the slices in containers A, B, C will stay the same color after the one in control turns brown, if the slice maintains its color then the liquid added prevents an apple slice from browning. The variables are the liquids added and the control is the slice that did not have anything added to it.

During the titration of a weak acid and a strong base, you would expect the ph at the endpoint of titration to be ____.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer is: b. more than 7.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.

For example, basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

How much 2.0 M phenylmagnesium chloride solution is needed if adding 2.9 mmol of Grignard reagent to a reaction? Your answer sho
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1,45 mL

Explanation:

The Grignard reaction is a very important organometallic chemical reaction where the Grignard reagent ( alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides) acts as nucleophile in order to the formation of Carbon-Carbon bonds.

In the problem, the phenylmagnesium chloride is the grignard reagent. The volume of 2.0 M phenylmagnesium chloride solution you need to add 2.9 mmol is:

2,9 mmol × \frac{1mL}{2,0mM} = <em>1,45 mL</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
