A 55.9 g sample of water at 99.2 °c is placed in a constant pressure calorimeter. then, 23.9 g of zinc metal at 21.1 °c is added

to the water and the temperature drops to 96.9 °c. what is the specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment?

<span>Heat released by the water: mass * specific heat * ΔT

Heat released by the water = 55.9 g * 1 cal / (°C g) * (99.2 - 96.9 )°C

Heat absorbed by the zinc metal = mass * specifi heat * ΔT

Heat absorbed by the zinc metal =  23.9 g * Cp * (96.9 - 21.1) °C

Heat absorbed by zinc metal = heat released by water

=> 23.9 * Cp * 75.8 = 55.9 * 1 * 2.3

=> Cp = 128.57 / 1811.62 = 0.0071 cal / (g°C)

Answer: 0.0071 cal / (g°C)

What is the ph of a solution made by mixing 25.00 ml of 0.100 m hcl with 40.00 ml of 0.100 m koh? assume that the volumes of the
Digiron [165]
<span>Answer: The HCl and KOH will react until one or the other is gone. As you have a larger volume of an equal concentration of HCl, the KOH will go first. moles HCl = 0.04000 L * 0.100 M = 0.00400 moles moles KOH = 0.02500 L * 0.100 M = 0.00250 moles moles HCl left = 0.00400 - 0.00250 = 0.00150 moles Your total volume is now 65.00 mL, so the [HCl] = 0.00150 moles / 0.06500 L = 0.0231 M = [H+] pH = -log [H+] = -log (0.0231) = 1.64</span>

What is the Bayer process explain it
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide) and was developed by Carl Josef Bayer. Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–60% aluminium oxide (Al2O3), the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide.

Which of these substances has the lowest pH? 0.5 M HBr, pOH = 13.5 0.05 M HCl, pOH = 12.7 0.005 M KOH, pOH = 2.3
vagabundo [1.1K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

0.5 M HBr, pOH = 13.5 ; Has the lowest pH

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

From the question;

pH = -Log [OH]

or pH = 14 - pOH

Therefore;

For 0.5 M HBr

[H+] = 0.5 M

pH = - Log [0.5]

     = 0.30

For;  pOH = 13.5

pH = 14 - pOH

     = 14 -13.5

     = 0.5

For; 0.05 M HCl

pH = - log [H+]

[H+] = 0.05

pH = - Log [0.05]

     = 1.30

For; pOH = 12.7

pH = 14 -pOH

     = 14 -12.7

     = 1.30

For;  0.005 M KOH,

pOH = - log [OH]

[OH-] = 0.005

pOH = - Log 0.005

        = 2.30

pH = 14 - 2.30

     = 11.7

For; pOH = 2.3

   pH = 14 -pOH

         = 14- 2.3

         = 11.7

If the freezing point of an aqueous 0.10 m glucose solution is −x°c, what is the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m nacl sol
maks197457 [2]
Answer is: the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m NaCl solution is -2x°C.
V<span>an't Hoff factor (i) for NaCl solution is approximately 2.
</span>Van't Hoff factor (i) for glucose solution is 1.<span>
Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT = i · Kf · m.
Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
m -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
</span>Kf and molality for this two solutions are the same, but Van't Hoff factor for sodium chloride is twice bigger, so freezing point is twice bigger.
