Answer:

The specific heat of iron is 0.45 J/g.°C

Explanation:

The amount of heat absorbed by the metal is given by:

heat = m x Sh x ΔT

From the data, we have:

heat = 180.8 J

mass = m = 22.44 g

ΔT = Final temperature - Initial temperature = 39.0°C - 21.1 °C = 17.9°C

Thus, we calculate the specific heat of iron (Sh) as follows:

Sh = heat/(m x ΔT)  = (180.8 J)/(22.44 g x 17.9°C) = 0.45 J/g.°C

Where is most of an atom's atomic mass?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. The diameter of an atom is on the order of 10−10 m, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly 10−15 m—about 100,000 times smaller.

Chemistry Question, Don't really know how to do it lol.
Scilla [17]

Answer: 17.2 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

\text{Moles of} HgS=\frac{20.0 g}{233g/mol}=0.085moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

4HgS(s)+4CaO(s)\rightarrow 4Hg(l)+3CaS(s))+CaSO_4(s)  

According to stoichiometry :  

4 moles of HgS produce =  4 moles of Hg

Thus 0.085 moles of HgS will require=\frac{4}{4}\times 0.085=0.085moles  of Hg

Mass of Hg=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.085moles\times 200.6g/mol=17.2g

Thus 17.2 g of Hg will be produced form 20.0 g of HgS.

If 50 liters of carbon dioxide gas are produced by the reaction below at 273 Kand 100 atm, how oxygen gas were used the reaction
oee [108]
Using the ideal gas equation:

pV = nRT
n = pV / RT

1atm = 101325Pa, so p = 10132500Pa
1L = 0.001m^3, so V = 0.050m^3
R = 8.214 (ideal gas constant)
T = 273K

Hence moles of CO2 = (10132500 * 0.050) / (8.314 * 273) = 223.2101553

Reaction ratio between oxygen and CO2 is 1:2
Hence moles of O2 = 223... / 2 = 112 moles (3sf)
