Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
heat gained by metal + heat lost by water = 0
m₁C₁ΔT₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0
C₁ = -(m₂C₂ΔT₂)/(m₁ΔT₁)
The factors determining C₁ are
- mass of water
- temperature change of water (T_f - Ti)
- mass of metal
- temperature change of metal (T_f - Ti)
Any factor that makes the numerator higher or the denominator lower than what you thought, will give a calculated C₁ that is too high (and vice versa).
The major sources of uncertainty are probably in determining the temperatures, especially the initial and final temperatures of the metal. However, you will have to decide what the principal factors were in your experiment.
For example, did the metal have a chance to cool during the transfer to the calorimeter? How easy was it to determine the equilibrium temperature, etc?
Factors Affecting the Calculation of Specific Heat Capacity
<u> Too Low </u> <u> Too high </u>
Water Water
Mass less than thought Mass more than thought
Ti lower Ti higher
T_f higher T_f lower
Metal Metal
Mass more than thought Mass less than thought
Ti higher Ti lower
The answer to both is D. Here's why:
For the first, whenever motion changes in a magnetic field, it causes electrons to move. Electricity, which is needed to power a lightbulb, is just a term for movement of these electrons. Electrons aren't created, they're always there in the wire. It's just that the permanent magnet gets them to move, which produces electricity.
For the second, it is very similar to the first. A magnet won't cause any electric current at rest, it always requires motion in order to produce an electric current. If you keep both of those in mind, it should help in the future. Hope this helps!
The molar mass of the compound potassium nitrate, KNO3 is equal to 101.1032 g/mol. Then, we determine the number of moles present in the given amount,
n = 11.75g / (101.1032 g/mol) = 0.116 mol
Then, molarity is calculated by dividing the number of moles by the volume of the solution. The answer is therefore 0.058 M.
