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.

MariettaO [177]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

<span>A.The enzyme pectinase speeds up the breakdown of pectin in fruits, producing more juice.. .
B.The enzyme pectinase enhances the taste of fruit juices, making them more popular.. .
C.The enzyme pectinase speeds up the breakdown of toxins in fruits, producing more juice.

The correct answer would be A. </span>The enzyme pectinase speeds up the breakdown of pectin in fruits, producing more juice. With this, the manufacturer company will get more volume of product from same amount of resource.

Which of the following symbols represents a chlorine ion with a stable arrangement of eight valence electrons?
frozen [14]

A stable arrangement of eight valence electrons : ³⁵Cl⁻¹

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Chlorine is a halogen gas, located in group 17, p block

Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and an atomic mass of 35

Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

If we look at the electron configuration, then Cl will bind 1 more electron so that the configuration is stable like Argon (atomic number 18)

So by binding this one electron, chlorine forms negative ions (anions)

³⁵Cl⁻¹

B. Cl⁻² binds 2 electrons, exceeding the octet rule

C. Cl⁺¹, releases 1 electron, remains unstable

D. Cl, the neutral form of Cl, is still unstable with a 7-electron valence configuration

If the pOH of a nitric acid (HNO3) solution is measured as 11, what is the concentration of HNO3 solution? Choose one
miss Akunina [59]
PH + pOH = 14

pH
= 14 - pOH
= 14 - 11
= 3

pH = 3
- lg [H+] = 3
[H+]
= 0.001
= [HNO3]
= 1 x 10-3 M
