Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a sample of a solid substance. You may assume that the substance does not

react with water. In your answer, make sure to include a description of what equipment you would use and how you would interpret the data you collected.

Answer:

I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample. I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance. I would heat the substance to a known temperature. I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature. I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change. I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed. I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.

<span>I would measure the mass of the solid substance. I would prepare a known mass of room temperature water large enough to submerge the solid substance in question. I would place the water in an insulated container. Then I would heat the solid substance to a known temperature. I would measure the temperature of the heated sample and the water. Then I would submerge the sample in the water and allow the sample and the water to reach the same temperature. I would measure this equilibrium temperature. I would interpret the difference in temperature between the heated sample and the equilibrium temperature as the change in temperature in the sample. Given the known mass, the beginning temperature of the water, and the equilibrium temperature I can determine how much energy was transferred from the heated sample to the water. Now the mass of the sample, a change in temperature in the solid substance, and the amount of energy transferred to create the temperature is known. This is sufficient to determine the specific heat of the solid substance</span>

Suppose you wanted to make a buffer of exactly ph 7.00 using kh2po4 and na2hpo4. if the final solution was 0.10 m in kh2po4, wha
OleMash [197]

Answer:- 0.138 M

Solution:- The buffer pH is calculated using Handerson equation:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{base}{acid})

KH_2PO_4 acts as a weak acid and Na_2HPO_4 as a base which is pretty conjugate base of the weak acid we have.

The acid hase two protons(hydrogen) where as the base has only one proton. So, we could write the equation as:

H_2PO_4^-\rightleftharpoons H^++HPO_4^-^2

Phosphoric acid gives protons in three steps. So, the above equation is the second step as the acid has only two protons and the base has one proton.

So, we will use the second pKa value. The acid concentration is given as 0.10 M and we are asked to calculate the concentration of the base to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00.

Let's plug in the values in the equation:

7.00=6.86+log(\frac{base}{0.10})

7.00-6.86=log(\frac{base}{0.10})

0.14=log(\frac{base}{0.10})

Taking antilog:

10^0^.^1^4=\frac{base}{0.10}

1.38=\frac{base}{0.10}

On cross multiply:

[base] = 1.38(0.10)

[base] = 0.138

So, the concentration of the base that is Na_2HPO_4 required to make the buffer is 0.138M.

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is the chemical being used up while the excess reactant is the chemical left after the reaction process.

Before calculating the limiting and excess reactant, it is important to balance the equation first by stoichiometry.

C25N3H30Cl + NaOH = C25N3H30OH + NaCl

Since the reaction is already balanced, we can now identify which is the limiting and excess reagent.

First, we need to determine the number of moles of each chemical in the equation. This is crucial for determining the limiting and excess reagent.

<span>Assuming that there is the same amount  of solution X for each reactant</span>

1.0 M NaOH ( X ) = 1.0 moles NaOH

1.00 x 10-5 M C25N3H30Cl ( X ) = 1.00 x 10-5 moles C25N3H30Cl

<span>The result showed that the crystal violet has lesser amount than NaOH. Thus, the limiting reactant in this chemical reaction is crystal violet and the excess reactant is NaOH.</span>

What is the sequence of energy transformations that occur in a nuclear reactor? nuclear energy Right arrow. Mechanical energy Ri
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

NUCLEAR ENERGY -----> MECHANICAL ENERGY -------> THERMAL ENERGY --------> ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Explanation:

In nuclear reactor, various energy transformations occur in order to generate electricity. Nuclear reactor converts the energy released from nuclear fission and the heat generated is removed from the reactor by a cooling system where steam is generated. The steam then drives a turbine which powers a generator to produce electricity.

A nuclear reactor is hence an equipment where nuclear chain reactions occur and control can be obtained. The nuclear reactor uses mostly uranium-235 and Plutonium-239. When these radioactive substances absorbs neutrons, they undergo nuclear fission causing the nucleus to split into two or more smaller compounds with  the release of kinetic energy a form of mechanical energy, gamma radiations and others.The kinetic energy is then harnessed in the equipment as heat (thermal energy) which is received by a cooling system and steam is generated. The steam can then power the generator from which electricity is obtained (electrical energy).

So therefore, in a nuclear reactor, the nuclear energy is transformed to mechanical energy and then thermal energy which powers the generation of the electrical energy.

Over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide solutions are 3% (w/v). What is this concentration in moles per liter?
Marina CMI [18]
<span>1 ml of water weighs 1 gram so 1 liter (1000 ml) weighs 1000 grams. A 3% solution (3% = 0.03) of hydrogen peroxide (w/v) would contain 1000 grams x 0.03 or 30 grams. The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 and a mole weighs 34.0147 grams/mole. So 30 grams of H2O2 divided by 34.0147 grams/mole equals 0.88 moles of H2O2. The concentration of a 3% (w/v) hydrogen peroxide solution therefore contains 30 grams of H202 (or 0.88 moles of H202) per in a liter of water (or 1000 grams H20) would thus be 0.88 moles H2O2 per liter (0.88 moles H2O2/l) .</span>
