Answer:

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the iron is 0.567J/g.°C.

<em>Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given as follows:</em>

<em>A 59.1 g sample of iron is put into a calorimeter (see sketch attached) that contains 100.0 g of water. The iron sample starts off at 85.0 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 23.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.6 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. </em>

<em> Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits</em>

Explanation:

Using the formula of heat, Q = mc∆T  

where Q = heat energy (Joules, J), m = mass of a substance (g)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g∙°C), ∆T = change in temperature (°C)

When the hot iron is placed in the water, the temperature of the iron and water attains equilibrium when the temperature stops changing at 27.6 °C. Since it is assumed that heat exchange occurs only between the iron metal and water; Heat lost by Iron = Heat gained by water

mass of iron  = 59.1 g, c = ?, Tinitial = 85.0 °C, Tfinal = 27.6 °C

∆T = 85.0 °C - 27.6 °C = 57.4 °C

mass of water = 100.0 g, c = 4.184 J/g∙°C, Tinitial = 23.0 °C, Tfinal = 27.6 °C

∆T = 27.6°C - 23.0°C = 4.6 °C

Substituting the values above in the equation; Heat lost by Iron = Heat gained by water

59.1 g * c * 57.4 °C  = 100.0 g * 4.184 J/g.°C * 4.6 °C

c = 0.567 J/g.°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the iron is 0.567 J/g.°C.

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 893 mm hg to 778 mm hg, the temperature changes from 49.3
solong [7]

Answer: The final temperature of the gas is 7.58 °C.

Explanation: We are given initial and final pressure of the system and we need to find the final temperature of the system.

To calculate it, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac.

His law states that pressure is directly related to the temperature of the gas.

P\propto T

Or,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure = 893 mmHg = 1.175atm (Conversion factor: 1atm = 760mmHg)

T_1 = initial temperature = 49.3°C = [49.3 + 273.15]K = 322.45K

P_2 = Final pressure = 778mmHg = 1.023atm

T_ = Final temperature = ?°C

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1.175atm}{322.45K}=\frac{1.023atm}{T_2}\\\\T_2=280.73K

Converting Final temperature from kelvin to degree Celsius.

T_2=280.73K=[280.73-273.15]^oC=7.58^oC

Hence, the final temperature of the gas is 7.58 °C.

How many li are in 2.5 moles of li​
NARA [144]

Answer:

15.06 × 10²³ atoms of Li

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Li = 2.5 mol

Number of toms of Li = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 2.5 mol of Li:

1 mole of lithium = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of Li

2.5 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of Li / 1 mol

15.06 × 10²³ atoms of Li

BRAINLIEST AND 30 POINTS! concept map for four types of intermolecular forces and a certain type of bond is shown.
Sphinxa [80]

D represents ion-dipole forces that are stronger than the force C.

Explanation:

D represents the ion-dipole force.

C represents the H-bonding forces.

ion-dipole force is a force that is due to electrostatic attraction and has a dipole between an ion and a neutral molecule.

It is electrostatic in nature.

A hydrogen bond is the force between the hydrogen with the electro negative atom of one molecule, to electro negative atom of some other molecule. such as: O, F, N

Ion dipole force is stronger than the H-bonding.
