<h2>The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it.
  • The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water.
  • On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong.
  • On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.

What is the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal if 75.00 g of the metal absorbs 418.6J of heat and the temperature rises
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 \frac{J}{g*C}

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

  • Q= 418.6 J
  • c= ?  
  • m= 75 g
  • ΔT= 25 C

Replacing:

418.6 J= c* 75 g* 25 C

Solving:

c=\frac{418.6 J}{75 g*25 C}

c= 0.223 \frac{J}{g*C}

<u><em>The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 </em></u>\frac{J}{g*C}<u><em></em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

Balance it by oxidation number method:Zn +HNO3----Zn(NO3)2+NO+H2O​
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Answer:

step 1:balance skeleton equation the chemical equation:

Zn +HNO3➔Zn(NO3)2+NO+H2O

step 2: identity undergoing oxidation or reduction

here

Zn➔Zn(NO3)2

Zn is oxidized from 0 to 2 in oxidation no.

HNO3➔NO

N is reduced from 5 to 2 in oxidation no

Step 3: calculate change in oxidation no.

change in oxidation no

in Zn=0-2=-2=2

in

N=5-2=3

Step 4: Balance it by doing crisscrossed multiplication

we get;

3Zn +2HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O

step 6:Balance other atoms except H & O

3Zn +2HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O

3Zn +2HNO3+6HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O

finally: balance H

<em><u>3Zn +8HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+4H2O</u></em>
