A calorimeter contains 72.0 g of water at 19.2 oC. A 141 g piece of metal is heated to 89.0 oC and dropped into the water. The e

ntire system eventually reaches 25.5 oC . What is the specific heat of the metal?

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.212 J/(g°C).

Explanation:

We can calculate the specific heat of the metal by the following equilibrium:

q_{a} = -q_{b}                          

m_{a}C_{a}\Delta T_{a} = -m_{b}C_{b}\Delta T_{b}

m_{a}C_{a}(T_{f_{a}} - T_{i_{a}}) = -m_{b}C_{b}(T_{f_{b}} - T_{i_{b}})

In the above equation, we have that the heat loses by the metal (b) is gained by the water (a).

m_{a}: is the water's mass = 72.0 g

C_{a}: is the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/(g°C)            

T_{i_{a}}: is the initial temperature of the water = 19.2 °C

T_{f_{a}}: is the final temperature of the water = 25.5 °C

m_{b}: is the metal's mass = 141 g

C_{b}: is the specific heat of metal =?

T_{i_{b}}: is the initial temperature of the metal = 89.0 °C

T_{f_{b}}: is the final temperature of the water = 25.5 °C

m_{a}C_{a}(T_{f_{a}} - T_{i_{a}}) = -m_{b}C_{b}(T_{f_{b}} - T_{i_{b}})

72.0 g*4.184 J/(g^{\circ} C)*(25.5 ^{\circ} C - 19.2 ^{\circ} C) = -141 g*C_{b}*(25.5 ^{\circ} C - 89.0 ^{\circ} C)            

C_{b} = -\frac{72.0 g*4.184 J/(g^{\circ} C)(25.5 ^{\circ} C - 19.2 ^{\circ} C)}{141 g(25.5 ^{\circ} C - 89.0 ^{\circ} C)} = 0.212 J/(g^{\circ} C)

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is 0.212 J/(g°C).

I hope it helps you!

If the concentration of the HCl used in your titration was 1.00 M and you used 23.68 mL to reach the endpoint, calculate the con
drek231 [11]

Answer: The concentration of the OH-, CB = 0.473 M.

Explanation:

The balanced equation of reaction is:

2HCl + Ca(OH)2 ===> CaCl2 + 2H2O

Using titration equation of formula

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

Where NA is the number of mole of acid = 2 (from the balanced equation of reaction)

NB is the number of mole of base = 1 (from the balanced equation of reaction)

CA is the concentration of acid = 1M

CB is the concentration of base = to be calculated

VA is the volume of acid = 23.65 ml

VB is the volume of base = 25mL

Substituting

1×23.65/CB×25 = 2/1

Therefore CB =1×23.65×1/25×2

CB = 0.473 M.

This is a random error/change in the DNA sequence. These may be inherited or occur in cells during the lifetime of the organism.
dusya [7]

This is the definition of a DNA mutation.

Depending on which part of the genome is affected, the consequences of a mutation may vary. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is transmitted to the next generation (see germinal mutations). It is one of the elements of biodiversity and one of the many factors that may be involved in the evolution of the species.
