I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The reactant for the given chemical reaction would be NaHCO3 and HCl. <span>A </span>reactant<span> is a substance that changes in a chemical reaction. It is the starting material in a reaction. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
heat gained by metal + heat lost by water = 0
m₁C₁ΔT₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0
C₁ = -(m₂C₂ΔT₂)/(m₁ΔT₁)
The factors determining C₁ are
- mass of water
- temperature change of water (T_f - Ti)
- mass of metal
- temperature change of metal (T_f - Ti)
Any factor that makes the numerator higher or the denominator lower than what you thought, will give a calculated C₁ that is too high (and vice versa).
The major sources of uncertainty are probably in determining the temperatures, especially the initial and final temperatures of the metal. However, you will have to decide what the principal factors were in your experiment.
For example, did the metal have a chance to cool during the transfer to the calorimeter? How easy was it to determine the equilibrium temperature, etc?
Factors Affecting the Calculation of Specific Heat Capacity
<u> Too Low </u> <u> Too high </u>
Water Water
Mass less than thought Mass more than thought
Ti lower Ti higher
T_f higher T_f lower
Metal Metal
Mass more than thought Mass less than thought
Ti higher Ti lower
The answer should be D. A rate law needs to be rate equaling the rate constant which is represented as k (make sure you use a lower case k since an upper case K is for equilibrium) times the concentrations of each reactant raised to the power of what ever order it has. (if A was a zero order it would be [A]⁰ and if A was third order it would be [A]³).
Do not get the order the reactants are confused with the coefficients in the chemical equation. (just because the reaction has 2B does not mean the rate law will have [B]². As shown in this example since it is first order therefore being [B] in the rate law)
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear in the comments.
