A 2.50 g sample of zinc is heated, and then placed in a calorimeter containing 65.0 g of water. Temperature of water increases f

rom 20.00 oC to 22.50 oC. The specific heat of zinc is 0.390 J/g oC. Assuming no heat loss, what was the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample?

718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of the zinc metal sample.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of zinc sample = 2.50 grams

mass of water  = 65 grams

initial temperature of water = 20 degrees

final temperature of water = 22.5 degrees

ΔT  = change in temperature of water is 2.50 degrees

specific heat capacity of zinc cp= 0.390 J/g°C

initial temperature of zinc sample = ?

cp of water = 4.186 J/g°C

heat absorbed = heat released (no heat loss)

formula used is

q = mcΔT

q water = 65 x 4.286 x 2.5

q water = 696.15 J

q zinc = 2.50 x 0.390 x (22.50- Ti)

equating the two equations

696.15 = - 22.50+ Ti

Ti = 718.65 degrees is the initial temperature of zinc.

To find the number of moles of gas we can use the ideal gas law equation, we dont need to use the mass of gas given as we only have to find the number of moles 
PV = nRT 
P - pressure - 300.0 kPa 
V - volume - 25.0 x 10⁻³ m³
n - number of moles 
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 27 °C + 273 = 300 K
substituting these values in the equation 
300.0 kPa x 25.0 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 300 K 
n = 3.01 mol 
number of mols of gas - 3.01 mol

A student determines measures the mass of one mole of carbon and finds it to be 12.22 grams. if the accepted value is 12.11 gram
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:-

0.91% is the students % of error

Explanation: -

Accepted value= 12.11 grams

Measured value = 12.22 grams

Error = 12.22-12.11 = 0.11 grams

Percentage error = \frac{0.11 grams}{12.11 grams}x100

                           = 0.91 %

Thus 0.91% is the students % of error

Ti is a transition metal.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Chemical symbol represent element or compound

The elements are arranged in the periodic system

  • 1. 22

This is the atomic number of Titanium

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons of an element

  • 2. Ti

This is the symbol (chemical formula) of titanium

  • 3. 47.90

This is the mass number of Titanium

Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

  • 4. Titanium

This is the name of the element

To determine which group, alkaline, alkaline earth or transition it can be seen from the electron configuration

alkali and alkali earth : configuration from orbital 1s-7s

transition : configuration from orbital 3d-6d (Block d)

Electron configuration from Ti : [Ar] 3d²4s²

if we look at the configuration, then Ti is in the d block which is included in the transition metal

Draw a sodium formate molecule. The structure has been supplied here for you to copy. To add formal charges, click the button be

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

                       In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

                             Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

                    HCOOH (formic acid)    →     HCOO⁻ (formate)  +  H⁺

                H₃CCOOH (acetic acid)     →      H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate)  +  H⁺

Formal Charges:

                           Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

          F.C  =  [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 2/2]

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 1]

                    F.C  =  6 - 7

                    F.C  =  -1

For Sodium:

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0 + 0/2]

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0]

                    F.C  =  1 - 0

                    F.C  =  +1
