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.

What is the limiting reagent when a 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen?​
UNO [17]

Answer:

Ammonia is limiting reactant

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.035 mol

Explanation:

Masa of ammonia = 2.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 4.00 g

Which is limiting reactant = ?

Balance chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂     →     2N₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2.00 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.00 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.125 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and oxygen with water and nitrogen.

                      NH₃          :            N₂

                        4             :             2

                      0.12           :           2/4×0.12 = 0.06

                      NH₃         :            H₂O

                        4            :             6

                        0.12       :           6/4×0.12 = 0.18

                       

                       O₂            :            N₂

                        3             :             2

                      0.125        :           2/3×0.125 = 0.08

                        O₂           :            H₂O

                        3              :             6

                        0.125       :           6/3×0.125 = 0.25

The number of moles of water and nitrogen formed by ammonia are less thus ammonia will be limiting reactant.

Amount of oxygen left:

                        NH₃          :             O₂

                           4            :              3

                           0.12       :          3/4×0.12= 0.09

Amount of oxygen react = 0.09 mol

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.125 - 0.09 = 0.035 mol

What is the balanced form of the following equation?. Br2 + S2O32– + H2O → Br1– + SO42– + H+.
zloy xaker [14]
For the equation to be balanced, the Atom's coefficient on the left side and the right side of the equation has to be equal

so, the answer would be : 

Br2 + S2032- + 5H20 -- >  BR2- + 2S02- + H+

Hope this helps

How many grams of CO₂ can be produced from the combustion of 2.76 moles of butane according to this equation: 2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂
Vilka [71]

Answer:

485.76 g of CO₂ can be made by this combustion

Explanation:

Combustion reaction:

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (g)

If we only have the amount of butane, we assume the oxygen is the excess reagent.

Ratio is 2:8. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of butane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore, 2.76 moles of butane must produce (2.76 . 8)/ 2 = 11.04 moles of CO₂

We convert the moles to mass → 11.04 mol . 44g / 1 mol = 485.76 g

What kind of chemical reaction does the chemical equation sodium + chlorine → sodium chloride represent?
scoundrel [369]
<span>The answer is synthesis. This is a kind of reaction in which numerous reactants mix to make a single product. Synthesis responses discharge energy in the way of heat and light, so they are exothermic. An instance of a synthesis reaction is the creation of water from hydrogen and oxygen.</span>
