Answer:

0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}

Explanation:

m_m = Mass of metal = 19 g

c_m = Specific heat of the metal

\Delta T_m = Temperature difference of the metal = 99-23=76^{\circ}\text{C}

V = Volume of water = 150 mL = 150\ \text{cm}^3

\rho = Density of water = 1\ \text{g/cm}^3

c_w = Specific heat of the water = 4.186 J/g°C

\Delta T_w = Temperature difference of the water = 23-21=2^{\circ}\text{C}

Mass of water

m_w= \rho V\\\Rightarrow m_w=1\times 150\\\Rightarrow m_w=150\ \text{g}

Heat lost will be equal to the heat gained so we get

m_mc_m\Delta T_m=m_wc_w\Delta T_w\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{m_wc_w\Delta T_w}{m_m\Delta T_m}\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{150\times 4.186\times 2}{19\times 76}\\\Rightarrow c_m=0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}

The specific heat of the metal is 0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}.

1. In the investigation of an unknown alcohol, there was a positive Jones test and a negative Lucas test. What deductions may be
pogonyaev

Answer:

1. When observing a positive test for the jones reagent and negative for the Lucas test, it indicates that it is in the presence of a primary alcohol.

Jones reagent behaves like a strong oxidant, where it transforms the primary alcohols into carboxylic acids and the secondary alcohols into ketones. Tertiary alcohols do not react.

With the Lucas test, tertiary alcohols react immediately producing turbidity, while secondary alcohols do so in five minutes. Primary alcohols do not react significantly with Lucas reagent at room temperature.

2. No reaction (See the attached drawing)

The goal of this lesson:
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. The concentration of N₂O₄ decrease as the temperature of the system increased.

2. The formation of products was favored by the addition of heat.

3. The reaction going from right to left is exothermic.

4. N₂O₄ → 2NO₂; HR = +14 kcal.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is as follows: N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂

The forward reaction proceeds with an increase in temperature. As the temperature of the reaction was increased, more of the N₂O₄ decomposed to form NO₂. Therefore, the concentration of N₂O₄ deceased.

2. The formation of products, that is the forward reaction leading to formation of NO₂ was favored by the addition of heat. Thus, with increase in temperature, the concentration of NO₂ increased.

3. An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction which requires energy input in the form of heat in order to proceed.

From the observations during the reaction, an increase in temperature by the addition of heat resulted in an increase in the forward reaction, therefore, the forward reaction is endothermic and the backward reaction is exothermic. Thus, the reaction in which colorless N₂O₄ is produced, is an exothermic reaction.

4. The change in enthalpy of a reaction is the difference in the heat content of reactants and products. For exothermic reactions, enthalpy change is negative, whereas for endothermic reactions, enthalpy change is positive.

The decomposition of  N₂O₄ to NO₂ is an endothermic reaction. Hence, the correct chemical equation is: N₂O₄ → 2NO₂; HR = +14 kcal.

Iodine 131, cesium 137, and strontium 90 are all considered isotopes. What are isotopes?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.

Which of these equations is balanced? a. H2SO4 + 2Al → Al2(SO4)3 + H2 b. 2KCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2KNO3 + PbCl2
Lapatulllka [165]
The answer is B, you just check if it is the same on the left and right side

A:
Left side - Right side
2xH - 2xH
1xS - 3xS
4xO - 12xO
2xAl - 2xAl

Therefore A is not correct

B:
Left side - right side
2xK - 2xK
1xCl - 1xCl
1xPb - 1xPb
2xN - 2xN
6xO - 6xO

B is therefore correct as both sides add up
