There is an extreme temperature difference between day and night in a desert during clear weather. However, even though the outs

ide temperature drops greatly at night, the water in a swimming pool in the desert tends to remain warm. Use your knowledge of heat energy, specific heat, and heat transfer to explain these facts.

Sand has a lower heat capacity hence it heats up easily and looses heat easily. On the other hand, water has a higher heat capacity and looses heat more slowly hence it remains warm at night.

<h3>What is heat transfer?</h3>

The transfer of heat refers to the movement of heat from one body to another. We should note that sand has a low specific heat capacity hence it is rapidly heated up in the day and looses heat quickly at night.

On the other hand, water has a high specific heat capacity hence it heat up slowly and also does not loose heat easily even when the surrounding temperature is much colder. As such, there is an extreme temperature difference between day and night in a desert during clear weather and the water in a swimming pool in the desert tends to remain warm even when the outside temperature drops greatly at night.

Answer: Equilibrium concentration of [Cl^-] at 50^0C is 4.538 M

Explanation:

Initial concentration of CoCl_2 = 0.056 M

Initial concentration of Cl^- = 4.60 M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

               COCl_2+2Cl^-\rightleftharpoons [CoCl_4]^{2-}+6H_2O

Initial conc.          0.056 M      4.60 M        0 M       0 M

At eqm. conc.     (0.056-x) M   (4.60-2x) M   (x) M    (6x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[CoCl_4]^{2-}\times [H_2O]^6}{[CoCl_2]^2\times [Cl^-]^2}

Given : equilibrium concentration of [CoCl_4]^{2-} =x =  0.031 M

Concentration of Cl^- = (4.60-2x) M  = (4.60-2\times 0.031) =4.538 M  

Thus equilibrium concentration of [Cl^-] at 50^0C is 4.538 M
