The compound HClO4 will dissociate into the ions, H+ and ClO4-. So, the 2.0 M solution will also form 2.0 M H+. The pH is calculated through the equation,
pH = -log[H+]
Substituting,
pH = -log[2] = -0.3
So the pH of the solution is going to be -0.3.
Answer:
Aluminum foil provides a complete barrier to light, oxygen, moisture and bacteria. For this reason, foil is used extensively in food and pharmaceutical packaging. Aluminum foil is also used to make aseptic packaging. This type of packaging enables storage of perishable goods without refrigeration.
Explanation:
Answer:
The specific heat of the sample unknown metal is approximately 0.45 J/g °C.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Thermodynamics</u>
Specific Heat Formula: 
- <em>m</em> is mass (g)
- <em>c</em> is specific heat capacity (J/g °C)
- Δ<em>T</em> is the change in temperature
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables.</em>
<em>m</em> = 112 g
Δ<em>T</em> = 20.0 °C
<em>q</em> = 1004 J
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><u><em>c</em></u>
- Substitute in variables [Specific Heat Formula]:

- Simplify:

- Isolate <em>c</em>:

- Round [Sig Figs]:

∴ specific heat capacity <em>c</em> is equal to around 0.45 J/g °C.
