A 237g sample of molybdnum metal is heated to 100.1 0C and then dropped into an insulated cup containing 244 g of water at 10.0

0C. If the final temperature of the water and metal in the cup is 15.3 0C, then what is the specific heat of molybdenum?

Answer:

The specific heat of molybdenum is 0.254 joules per gram-Celsius.

Explanation:

We consider the system formed by the molybdenum metal and water as our system, a control mass inside an insulated cup, that is, a container that avoids any energy and mass interactions between system and surroundings.

From statement we notice that metal is cooled down whereas water is heated. According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, we know that:

Q_{metal} - Q_{water} = 0

Q_{metal} = Q_{water}

Where:

Q_{water} - Heat received by water, measured in joules.

Q_{metal} - Heat released by metal, measured in joules.

Now we expand this identity by definition of sensible heat:

m_{metal}\cdot c_{metal}\cdot (T_{m,o}-T) = m_{water}\cdot c_{water}\cdot (T-T_{w,o})

The specific heat of the metal is cleared within equation above:

c_{metal} = \frac{m_{water}\cdot c_{water}\cdot (T-T_{w,o})}{m_{metal}\cdot (T_{m,o}-T)}

If we know that m_{water} = 0.237\,kg, m_{metal} = 0.244\,kg, c_{water} = 4186\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, T_{w,o} = 10\,^{\circ}C, T_{m,o} = 100.10\,^{\circ}C and T = 15.30\,^{\circ}C, the specific heat of molybdenum is:

c_{metal} = \frac{(0.237\,kg)\cdot \left(4186\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (15.30\,^{\circ}C-10\,^{\circ}C)}{(0.244\,kg)\cdot (100.10\,^{\circ}C-15.30\,^{\circ}C)}

c_{metal} = 254.119\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}

The specific heat of molybdenum is 0.254 joules per gram-Celsius.

Suppose a student titrates a 10.00-ml aliquot of saturated ca(oh)2 solution to the equivalence point with 16.08 ml of 0.0199 m h

Following chemical reaction is involved upon titration of Ca(OH)2 with HCl,
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl ↔ CaCL2 + 2H2O

Above is an example of acid-base titration to generate salt and water. Here, H+ ions of acid (HCl) combines with OH- (ions) of base [Ca(OH)2] to generated H2O

Given,
concentration of HCl = 0.0199 M
Total volume of HCl consumed during titration = 16.08 mL = 16.08 X 10^(-3) L

∴, number of moles of H+ consumed = Molarity X Vol. of HCl (in L)
                                                           = 0.0199 X 16.08 X 10^(-3)
                                                           = 3.1999 X 10^-4 mol
Thus, total number of moles of [OH-] ions present initial = 3.1999 X 10-4 mol
So, initial conc. [OH-] ion = 
\frac{number of moles of [OH-]}{volume of solution (L)} = \frac{3.1999 X 10^(^-^4^)}{10 X 10^(^-^3^)} = 0.03199 M

Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO_3)
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction always make two compounds from one.

The products always have simpler chemical structure, originated from a determined compound. This can happens  spontaneously or by a third party.

A notable example of decomposition is hydrolysis. As for example the case of water, which decomposes and generates oxygen and hydrogen gas

2H₂O (l) → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

In this case, the calium carbonate decomposes into CaO and CO₂

These two, are the products of the decomposition.

Of course, the unique reactant is the Calcium Carbonate

The balanced equation is:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
