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.

When food spoils, it is a chemical reaction. For example, rancid butter is produced when the fat molecules in the butter undergo
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: Decreases the rate of reaction

  • Remove water from food by dehydration.
  • Transport food in a refrigerated truck.
  • Store food in airtight containers.
  • Store food in a refrigerator after opening.

Does not decrease the rate of reaction

  • Store food in the open air.
  • Place food on a warm surface.

Explanation: Dehydration of food excludes water from food which is one of the factor needed by microorganisms for growth, <em>so it decreaese the rate of reaction.</em>

Transporting food in refrigerated trucks lowers the temperature of food and not many microorganisms are active at very low temperatures, so it <em>decreases the rate of reaction.</em>

Storing food in airtight containers excludes air which is one of the factors required for microbial activity, so <em>it decreases reaction rate.</em>

Storing food in refrigerators after opening also <em>lowers the temperature of food and hence the the rate of microbial activit</em>y.

Storing food in the open air <em>does not decrease microbial activity</em> instead it provides microorganisms with the favorable conditions for their activity such as air and water from water vapor in the air.

Placing food on a warm surface <em>does not decrease rate of reaction</em> because microorganisms are very active in warm and humid environments.

Like all equilibrium constants, Kw varies somewhat with temperature. Given that Kw is 3.31 × 10−13 at some temperature, compute
Artyom0805 [142]
Since Kw= [H⁺][OH⁻], and the concentration of both substances are the same, the equation is now Kw=[H⁺]²
So,
3.31x10⁻¹³ = [H⁺]²
Take the square root= 5.75x10⁻⁷
Then take the negative log to find the pH:
-log(5.75x10⁻⁷) = 6.25

Cu + 2AgNO3 es002-1.jpg 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 How many moles of copper must react to form 0.854 mol Ag?
marin [14]
Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

<span>                        Cu + 2 AgNO</span>₃     →    2 Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

According to Balance Equation,

                   2 Moles of Ag is produced by reacting  =  1 Mole of Cu
So, 
     0.854 Moles of Ag will be produced by reacting  =  X Moles of Cu

Solving for X,
                             X  =  (0.854 mol × 1 mol) ÷ 2 mol

                             X  =  0.427 Moles of Cu
Result:
            0.854 Moles of Ag 
are produced by reacting 0.427 Moles of Cu.
