149.3 g of H2O at 95 ◦C is poured over 412 g Fe at 5 ◦C in an insulated vessel. What is the final temperature? The specific heat

of H2O is 4.184 J /g· ◦C, the specific heat of Fe is 0.444 J/g · ◦C. Answer in units of ◦C.
I believe I am supposed to use the equation -Q=Q, where each Q=mc(change in T). But how do I know whether the water or the iron is the negative Q?

You are correct, but you needn't worry about the signs so much. Just remember that the negative sign is used to denote a loss of energy; since the water is hotter, it will be losing energy (-Q) and the iron will gain energy (Q). Now, we substitute the values:
-149.3 * 4.184 * (T - 95) = 412 * 0.44 * (T - 5)
Solving this equation for T,
T = 74.8 °C

The accepted value is 29.35. Which correctly describes this student's experimental data?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

- Both accurate and precise.

Explanation:

The experimental data is characterized as the data that is generated through a specific test or measurement with the purpose of analysis or evaluation. As per the question, the minuteness of the given data(29.27, 29.32, and 29. 27)most aptly describes that the experimental data collected by the student possesses 'accuracy and precision' apt and specific. It would yield the most worthy and reliable conclusion.

Four balloons, each with a mass of 10.0 g, are inflated to a volume of 20.0 L, each with a different gas: helium, neon, carbon m
weeeeeb [17]
On temperature 25°C (298,15K) and pressure of 1 atm each gas has same amount of substance:
n(gas) = p·V ÷ R·T = 1 atm · 20L ÷ <span>0,082 L</span>·<span>atm/K</span>·<span>mol </span>· 298,15 K
n(gas) = 0,82 mol.
1) m(He) = 0,82 mol · 4 g/mol = 3,28 g.
d(He) = 10 g + 3,28 g ÷ 20 L = 0,664 g/L.
2) m(Ne) = 0,82 mol · 20,17 g/mol = 16,53 g.
d(Ne) = 26,53 g ÷ 20 L = 1,27 g/L.
3) m(CO) = 0,82 mol ·28 g/mol = 22,96 g.
d(CO) = 32,96 g ÷ 20L = 1,648 g/L.
4) m(NO) = 0,82 mol ·30 g/mol = 24,6 g.
d(NO) = 34,6 g ÷ 20 L = 1,73 g/L.
