Explanation:

A displacement reaction is the one wherein the atom or a set of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule. For instance, when iron is added to a copper sulphate solution, it displaces the copper metal. A + B-C → A-C + B.

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.6 grams of z

storchak [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.375 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of zinc = 19.6 grams

Mass of water = 82.9 grams

Initial temperature of zinc T1= 98.37 °C

Initial temperature of water T1= 24.16 °C

Final temperature of water (and zinc) T2 = 25.70 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate Specific heat of zinc

Q=m*c*ΔT

Qzinc = -Qwater

m(zinc)*C(zinc)*ΔT(zinc) = -m(water)*C(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒ with mass of water = 82.9 grams

⇒ with C(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 25.70 - 24.16 = 1.54

⇒ with mass of zinc = 19.6 grams

⇒ with C(zinc) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT(zinc) = T2 -T1 = 25.70 - 98.37 = -72.67°C

Qzinc = -Qwater

m(zinc)*c(zinc)* ΔT(zinc) = - m(water)*c(water)* ΔT(water)

19.6g* C(zinc) * (-72.67°C) = - 82.9g* 4.184 J/g°C * 1.54 °C

-1424.332*C(zinc) = -534.155

C(zinc) = 0.375 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.375 J/g°C

When of alanine are dissolved in of a certain mystery liquid , the freezing point of the solution is less than the freezing poin

LenaWriter [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When 177. g of alanine $(C_3H_7NO_2)$ are dissolved in 800.0 g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is $5.9^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 177.0 g of potassium bromide are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is $7.2^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X.

Answer: The van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

Explanation:

Depression in the freezing point is defined as the difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and the freezing point of the solution.

The expression for the calculation of depression in freezing point is:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$
