Answer:

T_f=57.3\°C

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this calorimetry problem, it is possible to realize that the hot water at 87.6 °C is cooled down whereas the cold water at 34.5 °C is heated up, according to:

Q_{cold}=-Q_{hot}

Which in terms of mass, specific heat (cancelled out because they have the same value for being water) and temperature difference, is:

m_{cold}C_{cold}(T_f-T_{cold})=-m_{hot}C_{hot}(T_f-T_{hot})\\\\m_{cold}(T_f-T_{cold})=-m_{hot}(T_f-T_{hot})

Thus, solving for the final temperature, we obtain:

T_f=\frac{m_{cold}T_{cold}+m_{hot}T_{hot}}{m_{cold}+m_{hot}}

Then, we plug in to obtain:

T_f=\frac{200g*34.5\°C+150g*87.6\C}{200g+150g}\\\\T_f=57.3\°C

Best regards!

A student decomposed 3.67g of copper (ii) hydroxide into copper (ii) oxide. how many ml of 3m h2so4 is need to react with all th
vredina [299]
In the presence of heat, copper (II) hydroxide decomposes in to copper (II) oxide. 
Cu(OH)₂ (s) ----> CuO (s) + H₂O (l)
upon decomposition, water is removed from Cu(OH)₂
the amount of Cu(OH)₂ decomposed - 3.67 g
number of moles of Cu(OH)₂  - 3.67 g / 97.5 g/mol = 0.038 mol
stoichiometry of Cu(OH)₂ to CuO is 1:1
therefore number of CuO moles formed are - 0.038 mol
CuO reacts with sulfuric acid to form CuSO₄ 
CuO + H₂SO₄ ---> CuSO₄ + H₂O
stoichiometry of CuO to H₂SO₄ is 1:1
therefore number of H₂SO₄ moles that should react is 0.038 mol
the molarity of H₂SO₄ is 3M
this means that in 1000 ml - 3 mol of H₂SO₄ present 
so if 3 mol are present in 1000 ml 
then volume for 0.038 mol = 1000/3 * 0.038 
                                           = 12.67 ml
