Answer : The specific heat (J/g-K) of this substance is, 0.780 J/g.K

Explanation :

Molar heat capacity : It is defined as the amount of heat absorbed by one mole of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.

1 mole of substance releases heat = 92.1 J/K

As we are given, molar mass of unknown substance is, 118 g/mol that means, the mass of 1 mole of substance is, 118 g.

As, 118 g of substance releases heat = 92.1 J/K

So, 1 g of substance releases heat = \frac{92.1}{118}=0.780J/g.K

Thus, the specific heat (J/g-K) of this substance is, 0.780 J/g.K

A race car is driven by a professional driver at 99 . What is this speed in and ? 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers 1 hour = 60 minutes E
slavikrds [6]

Answer: The speed is equivalent to <u>159.39 kilometers per hour </u>or <u>2.65 kilometers per minute.</u>

Explanation:

Given, The speed of a race car = 99 miles/ hour

To convert the speed into  kilometers per hour and kilometers per minute

Since   1 mile = 1.61 kilometers

So, Speed of car = (99 ) x (1.61 )

= 159.39 kilometers per hour.

Also, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, Speed of car = (159.39) ÷60

= 2.6565≈2.65 kilometer per minute.

Hence, the speed is equivalent to <u>159.39 kilometers per hour </u>or <u>2.65 kilometers per minute.</u>

Scientists determine that the wooden beams of a sunken ship have 67 % of the concentration of Carbon-14 that is found in the lea
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The age of ship is 1900 years.

Explanation:

The half life period of carbon - 14 is 5730 years

Ship have 67 % of the concentration of Carbon-14

And the ship lost (100- 67 = 33%) 33% of carbon - 14.

Therefore,

The age of ship = lost percentage X half life period of carbon -14

= 33 \times 5730 yrs = 1890.9yrs\equiv 1900\,years

Therefore, The age of ship is 1900 years.

A 23.74-mL volume of 0.0981 M NaOH was used to titrate 25.0 mL of a weak monoprotic acid solution to the stoi- chiometric point.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Molar concentration of the weak acid solution is 0.0932

Explanation:

Using the formula: \frac{C_aV_a}{C_bV+b}  = \frac{n_a}{n_b}

Where Ca = molarity of acid

Cb = molarity of base = 0.0981 M

Va = volume of acid = 25.0 mL

Vb = volume of base = 23.74 mL

na = mole of acid

nb = mole of base

Since the acid is monopromatic, 1 mole of the acid will require 1 mole of NaOH. Hence, na = nb = 1

Therefore, C_a = \frac{C_bV_b}{V_a}

Ca = 0.0981 x 23.74/25.0

                 = 0.093155 M

To 4 significant figure = 0.0932 M

Suppose that 0.323 g of an unknown sulfate salt is dissolved in 50 mL of water. The solution is acidified with 6M HCl, heated, a
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

1) 41.16 % = 0.182 grams

2) The alkali cation is K+ , to form the salt K2SO4

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of unknown sulfate salt = 0.323 grams

Volume of water = 50 mL

Molarity of HCl = 6M

Step 2: The balanced equation

SO4^2- + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2Cl-

Step 3: Calculate amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4

The precipitate will be BaSO4

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (Molar mass of SO4^2-/Molar mass BaSO4)*100 %

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (96.06 /233.38) * 100

= 41.16%

So in 0.443g of BaSO4 there will be 0.443 * 41.16 % = <u>0.182 grams</u>

<u />

<u />

2. If it is assumed that the salt is an alkali sulfate determine the identity of the alkali cation.

The unknown sulphate salt has 0.182g of sulphate. This means the alkali cation has a weight of 0.323-0.182 = 0.141g grams

An alkali cation has a chargoe of +1; sulphate has a charge of -2

The formula will be X2SO4 (with X = the unknown alkali metal).

Calculate moles of sulphate

Moles sulphate = 0.182 grams (32.1 + 4*16)

Moles sulphate = 0.00189 moles

The moles of sulphate = 0.182/(32.1+16*4)

The moles of sulphate = 0.00189 moles

X2SO4 → 2X+ + SO4^2-

For 2 moles cation we have 1 mol anion

For 0.00189 moles anion, we have 2*0.00189 = 0.00378 moles cation

Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 0.141 grams / 0.00378 grams

Molar mass = 37.3 g/mol

The closest alkali metal is potassium. (K2SO4 )

What element is being oxidized in the following redox reaction?
gregori [183]

Answer:

C is the element thats has been oxidized.

Explanation:

MnO₄⁻ (aq)  +  H₂C₂O₄ (aq)  →  Mn²⁺ (aq)  +  CO₂(g)

This is a reaction where the manganese from the permanganate, it's reduced to Mn²⁺.

In the oxalic acid, this are the oxidation states:

H: +1

C: +3

O: -2

In the product side, in CO₂ the oxidation states are:

C: +4

O: -2

Carbon from the oxalate has increased the oxidation state, so it has been oxidized.
