You find a 1979 copper penny (pre-1982 pennies are pure copper) in the snow and pick it up. How much heat does the penny absorb

as it warms from the temperature of the snow, -5.0∘C to the temperature of your body, 37∘C. Assume the penny is pure copper and has a mass of 3.10 g. (The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g∘C.)

Answer:

50.127 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial temperature (T₁) = –5 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 37 °C

Mass (M) = 3.10 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.385 J/gºC

Heat (Q) absorbed =?

Next, we shall determine the change in temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = –5 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 37 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 37 – (–5)

ΔT = 37 + 5

ΔT = 42 °C

Finally, we shall determine the heat absorbed. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (M) = 3.10 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.385 J/gºC

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 42 °C

Heat (Q) absorbed =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 3.10 × 0.385 × 42

Q = 50.127 J

Thus, the heat absorbed is 50.127 J.

Calculate the amount in grams of Na2CO3 needed in a reaction with HCl to produce 120g NaCl?
klemol [59]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as :

Na2CO3<span> + 2HCl === 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
</span>
We are given the amount of NaCl to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations. We do as follows:

120 g NaCl ( 1 mol / 58.44 g) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 2 mol NaCl)( 105.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1108.82 g Na2CO3 needed
