Answer:

D = 28.2g

Explanation:

Initial temperature of metal (T1) = 155°C

Initial Temperature of calorimeter (T2) = 18.7°C

Final temperature of solution (T3) = 26.4°C

Specific heat capacity of water (C2) = 4.184J/g°C

Specific heat capacity of metal (C1) = 0.444J/g°C

Volume of water = 50.0mL

Assuming no heat loss

Heat energy lost by metal = heat energy gain by water + calorimeter

Heat energy (Q) = MC∇T

M = mass

C = specific heat capacity

∇T = change in temperature

Mass of metal = M1

Mass of water = M2

Density = mass / volume

Mass = density * volume

Density of water = 1g/mL

Mass(M2) = 1 * 50

Mass = 50g

Heat loss by the metal = heat gain by water + calorimeter

M1C1(T1 - T3) = M2C2(T3 - T2)

M1 * 0.444 * (155 - 26.4) = 50 * 4.184 * (26.4 - 18.7)

0.444M1 * 128.6 = 209.2 * 7.7

57.0984M1 = 1610.84

M1 = 1610.84 / 57.0984

M1 = 28.21g

The mass of the metal is 28.21g

A compound contains 10.13% C and 89.87% Cl (by mass). Determine both the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the comp
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = CCl_3

The molecular formula = C_2Cl_6

Explanation:

Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

% of C = 10.13

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

% moles of C = 10.13 / 12.0107 = 0.8434

% of Cl = 89.87

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

% moles of Cl = 89.87 / 35.453 = 2.5349

Taking the simplest ratio for C and Cl as:

0.8434 : 2.5349

= 1 : 3

The empirical formula is = CCl_3

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 12*1 + 3*35.5 = 118.5 g/mol

Molar mass = 237 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

237 = n × 118.5

⇒ n ≅ 2

The molecular formula = C_2Cl_6

Given the following equation and heat of reaction: 2 moles of A combine with 2 moles of B to produce 6 moles of C and 26 kJ What
Hoochie [10]

Answer: The change in enthalpy will be -13.

Explanation:-

Endothermic reactions are those in which heat is absorbed by the system and exothermic reactions are those in which heat is released by the system.

\Delta H for Endothermic reaction is positive and  \Delta H for Exothermic reaction is negative.

2A+2B\rightarrow 6C+26kJ  

2A+2B\rightarrow 6C       \DeltaH=-26kJ

When 1 mole of A combining with 1 mole of B to produce 3 moles of C

Thus as the stoichiometry has got half of the original , enthalpy of the reaction will also get half.

Thus for reaction :

A+B\rightarrow 3C+\frac{26}{2}kJ  

A+B\rightarrow 3C       \DeltaH=-13kJ

Thus the change in enthalpy will be -13.

Write the symbolic notation of an isotope of an element having 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 11 neutrons. Click on the “Templates”
horrorfan [7]
Attached to this answer is the format of Isotope Notation that you can use for future reference. <em>(Please open)</em>

There are 8 Protons. The Atomic Number is the same number of an element's proton.

If you can see in the format, the mass number is calculated by adding the atomic number/protons and neutrons.

Mass number = 8 + 11
Mass number = 19

A solution contains 90 milliequivalents of HC1 in 450ml. What is its normality?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Normality N = 0.2 N

Explanation:

Normality is the number of gram of equivalent of solute divided of volume of solution, where the number of gram of equivalent of solute is weight of the solute divided by the equivalent weight.

Normality is represented by N.

Mathematically, we have :

\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{Number \ of \ gram \of \ equivalent\  of\  solute }{volume \ of \ solution}}

Given that:

number of gram of equivalent of solute = 90 milliequivalents 90 × 10⁻³ equivalent

volume of solution (HCl) = 450 mL 450 × 10⁻³ L

\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{-3}}{450 \times 10^{-3}}}

Normality N = 0.2 N
