A 74.0-gram piece of metal at 94.0 °C is placed in 120.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 26.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

lorimeter is 32.0 °C. Determine the specific heat of the metal. Show your work by listing various steps, and explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to this situation.

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat lost by metal = mass x specific heat x fall in temperature

= 74 x S x ( 94 - 32 )

= 4588 S

heat gained by water = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

= 120 x 1 x ( 32 - 26.5 )   ( specific heat of water is 1 cals / gm )

= 660

Heat lost = heat gained

4588S = 660

S = .14 cal /gm .

Specific heat of metal = .14 cal  / gm

Fluorine gas is placed in contact with calcium metal at high temperatures to produce calcium fluoride powder. What is the formul
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Upper F subscript 2 (g) plus upper C a (s) right arrow with delta above upper C a upper F subscript 2 (s).

Explanation:

This is a chemical reaction problem.

In expressing any chemical reaction, we need to understand that there are reactants and products.

  • The reactants are the species on the left hand side that are combining.
  • The products are the species on the right hand side that are formed.
  • Every chemical reaction is obeys the law of conservation of matter i.e equal number of matter on both sides.

Using the statement of this problem, we can deduce that;

 Reactants are Fluorine gas and Calcium metal

  Product is Calcium Fluoride

Note: A metal is a solid(s) and powder is a solid(s). A gas is denoted as (g). They depict the state of the species reacting.

                    F₂_{(g)}     +    Ca_{(s)}               →           CaF₂_{(s)}

We can see that equal number of atoms are on both sides of the expression.

spayn [35]

Answer:

The other signal that would indicate the presence of a C= C bond appears close to 3100 cm^{-1}.

Explanation:

Bands that appear above 3000 cm^{-1}  are often unsaturation diagnoses suggest. The band at 3000- 3100 cm^{-1} is characteristics for C-H stretching frequencies and normally is overlaps with the ones for alkanes because it is a band of weak intensity.

A student is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. He weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a
Nata [24]

Answer:

There are present 5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.

Explanation:

The mass of CuSO₄ anhydrous is:

23,403g - 22,652g = 0,751g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159,609g/mol. The moles are:

0,751g ×\frac{1mol}{159,609g} = 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄

Now, the mass of water present in the initial sample is:

23,875g - 0,751g - 22,652g = 0,472g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄hydrate - CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of H₂O is 18,02g/mol. The moles are:

0,472g ×\frac{1mol}{18,02g} = 2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O

The ratio of moles H₂O:CuSO₄ is:

2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O / 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄ = 5,5668

That means that you have <em>5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.</em>

I hope it helps!

If this decay has a half life of 2.60 years, what mass of 72.5 g of sodium 22 will remain after 15.6 years
Vlad1618 [11]

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g
