Why is it important to determine the qcalorimeter before determining the qmetal?

8 0

In order to determine the heat absorbed or given by a metal it is important to determine the heat loss or gained by calorimeter

If we dip a hot metal piece in a calorimeter, it will lose energy which will be absorbed by calorimeter

The heat absorbed by calorimeter = heat loss by metal

the heat absorbed by calorimeter = heat capacity of calorimter X change in temperature

so we should have the value of heat absorbed by calorimeter which will be equal to the heat loss by metal

heat loss by metal = mass of metal X specific heat of metal X change in temperature

thus we can calculate the specific heat of metal.

To find the enthalpy change per mole of a substance A in a reaction between two substances A and B, the substances are added to a calorimeter and the initial and final temperatures (before the reaction started and after it has finished) are noted

If solid become liquid can it become solid again

Answer:

Yes! It's because of like freezing and or solidification. It's the phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid. It's when the temperature is lowered to or below a type of freezing point.

How are sound waves different from the waves in the sea or the ripples on water???

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

water wave shake energy over the surface to the sea, while sound waves thump energy trough the body of the air. sound waves are compression waves

Hope this helps :)

A student obtains the following data: Mass of empty, dry graduated cylinder: 21.577 g Volume added of NaCl solution: 4.602 mL Ma

klasskru [66]

Answer: The density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of cylinder, $m_1$ = 21.577 g

Mass of NaCl and cylinder combined, M = 39.664 g

Mass of NaCl, $m_2$ = $(M-m_1)=(39.664-21.577)g=18.087g$

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

We are given:

Mass of NaCl = 18.087 g

Volume of NaCl solution = 4.602 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Density of NaCl}=\frac{18.087g}{4.602mL}\\\\\text{Density of NaCl}=3.930g/mL$

Hence, the density of NaCl solution is 3.930 g/mL

There are two physical properties of minerals that both result in smooth, flat surfaces with specific angles between them. The f

stich3 [128]

Answer:

3. crystal habit and cleavage.

Explanation:

Crystal habit is a distinctive characteristic which is shown in its general shape, crystallographic forms, how developed each form is.

Cleavage is the ability of a mineral to break in smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding. Cleavage in three directions at right angles (90o). Cubic cleavage. Cleavage in three directions not at right angles (120o and 60o).
