Answer:

Specific heat of metal = 0.26 j/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 80.0 g

Initial temperature = 55.5 °C

Final temperature = 81.75 °C

Amount of heat absorbed = 540 j

Specific heat of metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  81.75 °C - 55.5 °C

ΔT =  26.25 °C

540 j = 80 g × c × 26.25 °C

540 j = 2100 g.°C× c

540 j / 2100 g.°C = c

c = 0.26 j/g.°C

An important industrial route to extremely pure acetic acid is the reaction of methanol with carbon monoxide:
Nastasia [14]

The reaction has had a heat that is enthalpy of -22 kJ/mol. The exothermic process has been signaled by the negative sign.

The amount of energy that the system absorbs or releases to create the products is described as the heat of reaction.

The source of the reaction's heat is

H is equal to 3(413 Kj/mol) + 358 Kj/mol + 467 Kj/mol + 1070 Kj/mol = 3134 Kj/mol.

H prod equals 3(413 kj/mol) plus 347 kj/mol plus 358 kj/mol plus 467 kj/mol plus 745 kj/mol, or 3156 kj/mol.

H=3134 kj/mol - 3156 kj/mol = -22 Kj/mol

Negative findings point to an exothermic response.

A chemical process known as an exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat or light.

What intermolecular forces can occur between a CO3<br> ion and H2O molecules? List them
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The intermolecular forces between CO3^2- and H2O molecules are;

1) London dispersion forces

2) ion-dipole interaction

3) hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction that exits between molecules. These forces are weaker in comparison to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Considering CO3^2- and H2O, we must remember that hydrogen bonds occur whenever hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as oxygen. The carbonate ion is a hydrogen bond acceptor.

Also, the London dispersion forces are present in all molecules and is the first intermolecular interaction in molecular substance. Lastly, ion-dipole interactions exists between water and the carbonate ion.

Consider the following ionic compounds: CdCO3, Na2S, PbSO4, (NH4)3PO4, and Hg2Cl2. Which compounds will be soluble when added to
Grace [21]

Answer:

a. Na₂S and (NH₄)₃PO₄ .

Explanation:

To know which salts are soluble we need to remember some <em>solubility rules</em>. And apply these as follows:

* All compounds of group 1 (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, etc.) are soluble, Na₂S is soluble.

* All ammonium salts are soluble,

<h3>(NH₄)₃PO₄ is soluble.</h3>

* All Cl⁻, I⁻, Br⁻ are soluble except when are with Ag⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂Cl₂ is <em>insoluble</em>

* Carbonates are insoluble except those with group 1 or ammonium, CdCO₃ is <em>insoluble</em>

* All sulfates are soluble except those with Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ag⁺. PbSO₄ is <em>insoluble. </em>

Right solution is:

<h3>a. Na₂S and (NH₄)₃PO₄ </h3>
