A sample of polystyrene, which has a specific heat capacity of 1.880 J.g .°C , is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right)

that contains 300.0 g of water. The polystyrene sample starts off at 94.9 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 22.0 When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.7 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the mass of the polystyrene sample.

Answer:

56.6g

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of water, m1= 300.0 g

Temperature of water, T1= 22°C

Specific heat capacity of water, C= 4.184 J/g°C

Mass of polystyrene, m2=?

Temperature of polystyrene = 94.9

Specific heat capacity of polystyrene, c2= 1.88 J/g°C

Final temperature = 27.7 oC

Heat lost by polystyrene = Heat gained by water

mc(dT) = mc(dT)

m2 * 1.88 * (94.9 - 27.7) = 300 * 4.184 * (27.7 - 22)

m2 * 1.88*67.2 = 300*4.184*5.7

126.336 * m2 = 7154.64

m2 = 7154.64 / 126.336

m2 = 56.631838

Hence, mass of polystyrene = 56.6g

Which of the following will produce a precipitate?
nekit [7.7K]

Reaction of option c produces precipitate.

Rhodium on reacting with potassium phosphate produces rhodium phosphate which remain in solution due to low lattice energy for rhodium phosphate.

Niobium on reacting with lithium carbonate produces niobium carbonate and it will remain in aqueous form.  

Cobalt on reacting with zinc nitrate produces cobalt nitrate. This, Co(NO3 )2 is insoluble precipitate and settles at bottom whereas zinc ion will remain in solution as follows:

Co^2^+ + Zn(NO¬_3 )¬_2    Co(NO¬_3 )¬_2    + Zn^2^+

Potassium ion on reacting with sodium sulfide produces potassium sulfide which remain in solution
