A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 84 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal? 3.433 0.171 1.717 0.343

The specific heat of metal is c = 3.433 J/g*⁰C.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of metal = 68.6 g

t metal = 100 °C

mass water = 84 g

t water = 20 °C

final temperature = 52.1  °C

Required

The specific heat

Solution

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m.c.Δt

Q absorbed by water = Q released by metal

84 x 4.184 x (52.1-20)=68.6 x c x (100-52.1)

11281.738=3285.94 x c

c = 3.433 J/g*⁰C.

Which section of a lab report would most appropriately contain the possible sources of error in an experiment?
Vlad1618 [11]

The lab report contains the theory, process, data and calculation of the experiment. The theory and process are remains fixed for a particular experiment. Thus there is no chance to get error from these two part. The calculation depends upon the reading or data of the experiment. The calculation is also unique and based on the data. Thus the error come from the data of the experiment. As for example for a titration experiment the data recorded in the process from the burret is the source of error, on which the calculation depends.

Need help with these two, solve only the ones you can though :D
ad-work [718]

Answer: 27 is A and 28 is C.

Explanation: I’ll explain 28 but not 27 because that’s just definitions.

In CuSO4 there is a Cu, an S, and 4 O molecules. Add them up you get 6.

Luda [366]
Inquiring, which comes from the word inquiry which means, "an act of asking a question". In science, the first part of the scientific method is asking questions about the world around you and then after that, conducting experiments to get answers.

Which acid is almost completely ionized in a dilute solution at 298k?
Alex777 [14]
Considering choices; 
a. CH3COOH
b. H2S
c. H2PO4
d. HNO3
The answer would be HNO3; this is because it the strongest acid. Strong acids are acids that are fully ionized while weak acids are only partially ionized. At the same concentrations, strong acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen than weak acids. Examples of strong acids include; hydrocloric acid and nitric acid, while weak acids include; ethanoic acids.
