A 72.0-gram piece of metal at 96.0 °C is placed in 130.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 25.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

lorimeter is 31.0 °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: The answer is S = 0.1528 cal/g °C

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed.

So, energy lost by metal pieces is equal to the energy gained by water in the calorimeter.

Specific heat of water is 1 cal/g °C

⇒ heat energy  Q = mSΔT, where m = mass of a substance

                                                        S = specific heat

                                                        ΔT = change in temperature

Now, the heat lost by metal piece, Q = 72×S×(96-31)

                                                      = 4680×S cal

Heat gained by water, Q = 130×1×(31-25.5)

                                        = 715 cal

⇒ 4680×S = 715.

⇒ S = 0.1528 cal/g °C.

When you apply heat energy to a substance, where does the energy go? Think about the law of conservation of energy.
MAVERICK [17]

The energy is transformed into kinetic energy which makes the substance to move. The law of conservation of energy which is the first law of thermodynamics states that in a closed system energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can change from one form to another

How many lead (Pb) atoms will be generated when 5.38 moles of ammonia react according to the following equation: 3PbO+2NH3→3Pb+N
jasenka [17]

Answer:

4.86×10^23 molecule of Pb

Explanation:

Based on that equation, for every 2 moles of ammonia, you get 3 moles of lead.

So:

2 mol NH3/ 3 mol Pb

Using this ratio we can find the amounts of either molecule. Given 5.38 mol NH3:

(5.38 NH3)(3 Pb/ 2 NH3) = (5.38)(3/2) mol Pb = 8.07 mol Pb

Then, we just need to use Avagadro's number to get the number of molecules.

(8.07)(6.02×10^23) = 4.86×10^23 molecule of Pb

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s
andre [41]
No, because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic
particles, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not effect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

What is the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3?​
ra1l [238]

Answer: The oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6

Explanation:

SeO3 is the chemical formula for selenium trioxide.

- The oxidation state of SeO3 = 0 (since it is stable and with no charge)

- the oxidation number of oxygen (O) IN SeO3 is -2

- the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)

Hence, SeO3 = 0

Z + (-2 x 3) = 0

Z + (-6) = 0

Z - 6 = 0

Z = 0 + 6

Z = +6

Thus, the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6
