Answer:

0.862 J/gºC

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of metal (Mₘ) = 50 g

Initial temperature of metal (Tₘ) = 100 °C

Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 400 g

Initial temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 20 °C

Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 22 °C

Specific heat capacity of water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.2 J/gºC

Specific heat capacity of metal (Cₘ) =?

The specific heat capacity of the metal can be obtained as follow:

Heat lost by metal = MₘCₘ(Tₘ – Tₑ)

= 50 × Cₘ × (100 – 22)

= 50 × Cₘ × 78

= 3900 × Cₘ

Heat gained by water = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)

= 400 × 4.2 × (22 – 20)

= 400 × 4.2 × 2

= 3360 J

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water

3900 × Cₘ = 3360

Divide both side by 3900

Cₘ = 3360 / 3900

Cₘ = 0.862 J/gºC

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.862 J/gºC

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.

nataly862011 [7]

<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>

he heat of fusion of tetrahydrofuran is . Calculate the change in entropy when of tetrahydrofuran melts at . Be sure your answer

lana [24]

Answer:

$\Delta S=1.8x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{K}=1.8\frac{J}{K}$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the heat of fusion of THF to be 8.5 kJ/mol and freezing at -108.5 °C, for the required mass of 5.9 g, we can compute the entropy as:

$\Delta S=\frac{n*\Delta H}{T}$

Whereas n accounts for the moles which are computed below:

$n=5.9g*\frac{1mol}{72g} =0.082mol$

Thus, the entropy turns out:

$\Delta S=\frac{0.0819mol*8.5 kJ/mol}{(-108.5+273.15)K}\\\\\Delta S=1.8x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{K}=1.8\frac{J}{K}$

Best regards.

How does water help us live

SSSSS [86.1K]

Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's important to re-hydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.
