A student is preparing to perform a series of calorimetry experiments. She first wishes to determine the calorimeter constant (C

cal) for her coffee cup calorimeter. She pours a 50.0 mL sample of water at 345 K into the calorimeter containing a 50.0 mL sample of water at 298 K. She carefully records the final temperature of the water as 317 K. What is the value of Ccal for the calorimeter? A student is preparing to perform a series of calorimetry experiments.

Answer:

  • First choice: 99 J/K

Explanation:

<u>1) First law of thermodynamic (energy balance)</u>

  • Heat released by the the hot water (345K ) = Heat absorbedby the cold water (298 K) + Heat absorbed by the calorimeter

<u>2) Energy change of each substance:</u>

  • General formula:

     

Heat released or absorbed = mass × Specific heat × change in temperature

  • density of water: you may take 0.997 g/ ml as an average density for the water.

  • mass of water: mass = density × volume = 50.0 ml × 0.997 g/ml = 49.9 g

  • Specif heat of water: 1 cal / g°C

  • Heat released by the hot water:

       Heat₁ = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (345 K - 317 K) = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (28K)

  • Heat absorbed by the cold water:

       Heat₂ = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (317 K - 298 K) = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (19K)

  • Heat absorbed by the calorimeter

       Heat₃ = Ccal × (317 K - 298 K) = Ccal × (19K)

<u>4) Balance</u>

  • Heat₁ = Heat₂ + Heat₃

49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (28 K) = 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (19 K) + Ccal × (19 K)

  • Solve for Ccal

Ccal = [49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (28 K) - 49.9 g × 1 cal / g°C × (19 K) ] / 19K

Ccal = 23.6 cal/ K

  • Convert to cal / K to Joule / K

  • 1 cal = 4.18 Joule

       23.6 cal / K × 4.18 J / cal = 98.6 J/K

Which rounded to 2 signficant figures leads to 99 J/k, which is the first choice.

Do all colors of light travel at the same speed
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

No because some lights we cannot see because they move to slow or they move to fast for our eye to see. There is just a small little gap compared to what light rays we can actually see. In this picture you can see what I mean.

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 578 mL and a pressure of 124.1 kPa. What volume would the gas occupy at 80.2 kPa if the
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

V2 = 894.4mL

Explanation:

P1= 124.1, V1= 578mL, P2 = 80.2kPa, V2= ?

Applying Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

Substitute and simplify

124.1*578=80.2*V2

V2= 894.4mL

Pls help
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

CrO₂ --------------------> Cr⁴⁺ and O²⁻

VCO₃ -------------------> V²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ -------------> Cr³⁺ and SO₄²⁻

(NH₄)₂S ----------------> NH₄⁺ and S²⁻

Explanation:

Within ionic compounds, the cation is listed first, followed by the anion. Some of the ions are polyatomic, meaning they are covalently bonded to other elements. Polyatomic ions always have a specific charge.

All of these ionic compounds have an overall charge of 0. As such, the charges of the cations and anions must balance out. In order to do so, there are some compounds which have more than one atom of each ion.

2.) CrO₂

------> Oxygen (O) always forms the anion, O²⁻.

------> Therefore, if there are 2 oxygen anions, the chromium (Cr) must have the cationic form of Cr⁴⁺.

------> +4 + (-2) + (-2) = 0

3.) VCO₃

------> Carbonate (CO₃), a polyatomic ion, always has the state CO₃²⁻.

------> If there is only one atom of each ion, the charges must perfectly balance, making vanadium (V) be the cation V²⁺.

------> +2 + (-2) = 0

4.) Cr₂(SO₄)₃

------> Sulfate (SO₄), a polyatomic ion, always has the state SO₄²⁻.

-------> The only way the charges could balance out is if the chromium (Cr) is in the cationic form Cr³⁺.

------> +3 + 3 + (-2) + (-2) + (-2) = 0

5.) (NH₄)₂S

------> Ammonium (NH₄), a polyatomic ion, always has the state NH₄⁺.

------> Sulfur (S) always forms the anion S²⁻.

------> +1 + 1 + (-2) = 0

In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen atom has two unshared pairs of electrons and two bonding pairs of electrons. How do the un
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

They reduce the bond angle to be slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle, approximately 104.45 degrees.

Explanation:

The unshared pair of electrons or lone pair electrons in order to have the minimum repulsion possible with each other pushes the other bonding pairs closer together making the bond angle smaller or bent.

The bond angle is slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle of 108 degrees, leaving the water molecule with a bent molecular geometry.
