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>

What is the definition of Solvent
Helen [10]
A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "I loosen, untie, I solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g., tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g., toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g., hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes) and in perfumes (ethanol). Water is a solvent for polar molecules and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within a cell. Solvents find various applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries, including in chemical syntheses and purification processes.

The rate constant for this second‑order reaction is 0.610 M − 1 ⋅ s − 1 0.610 M−1⋅s−1 at 300 ∘ C. 300 ∘C. A ⟶ products A⟶product
Darya [45]

Answer: It takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.

Explanation:

Integrated rate law for second order kinetics is given by:

\frac{1}{a}=kt+\frac{1}{a_0}

k = rate constant = 0.610M^{-1}s^{-1}

a_0 = initial concentration = 0.860 M

a= concentration left after time t = 0.260 M

\frac{1}{0.260}=0.860\times t+\frac{1}{0.860}

t=3.120s

Thus it takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.

Given each pair, complete the sentences to determine which member of each has the stronger intermolecular dispersion forces.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

CH3CH2CH2Cl

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2SH

Br2

Explanation:

Dispersion forces increases with increase in relative molecular mass. The specie having the greater relative molecular mass definitely has greater dispersion forces. A rough estimation of the relative molecular masses of the species stated in the answer will reveal this fact.

Part a the sun produces energy via fusion. one of the fusion reactions that occurs in the sun is 411h→42he+201e how much energy
Orlov [11]
The equation for the nuclear fusion reaction is,
4 ¹₁H → ₂⁴He + 2 ₁⁰e
Calculation of mass defect,
Δm = [mass of products - mass of reactants]
      = 4(1.00782) - [4.00260 + 2(0.00054858)]
      = 0.0275828 g/mole
Given that,
Mass of Hydrogen-1 = 2.58 g
The no. of moles of ₁¹H = 2.58 g / 1.00782 = 2.56 moles
Therefore, the mass defect for 2.58 g of ₁¹H is, 
= 2.56 moles * (0.0275828 g / 4) = 0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg
Energy for (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) is, 
= (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) (3.0 x 10⁸)² = 1.59 x 10¹² J
