How much heat must be transferred to 1600 g of iron to change the iron's
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A. 8600 J

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Thermochemistry</u>

Specific Heat Formula: q = mcΔT

  • q is heat (in J)
  • m is mass (in g)
  • c is specific heat (in J/g °C)
  • ΔT is change in temperature (in °C)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] <em>m</em> = 1600 g

[Given] ΔT = 214 °C - 202 °C = 12 °C

[Given] <em>c</em> = 0.450 J/g °C

[Solve] <em>q</em>

<u>Step 2: Find Heat</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Specific Heat Formula]:                                           q = (1600 g)(0.450 J/g °C)(12 °C)
  2. Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                                             q = (720 J/°C)(12 °C)
  3. Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                                             q = 8640 J

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs as our lowest.</em>

8640 J ≈ 8600 J

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 4.70×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.700 M, what will the
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.

Explanation:

The unit of k is s⁻¹.

The order of the reaction = first order.

First order reaction: A first order reaction is  a reaction in which the rate of reaction depends only the value of the concentration of the reactant.

-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt

[A] = the concentration of the reactant at time t

k= rate constant

t= time

Here k= 4.70×10⁻³ s⁻¹

t= 4.00

[A₀] = initial concentration of reactant = 0.700 M

-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt

\Rightarrow -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=kdt

Integrating both sides

\Rightarrow\int -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=\int kdt

⇒ -ln[A] = kt +c

When t=0 , [A] =[A₀]

-ln[A₀]  = k.0 + c

⇒c= -ln[A₀]  

Therefore

-ln[A] = kt - ln[A₀]

Putting the value of k, [A₀] and t

- ln[A] =4.70×10⁻³×4 -ln (0.70)

⇒-ln[A]=  0.375

⇒[A] = 0.686

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.

How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g
