The specific heat of aluminum, iron and copper is 0.897 J/g °C, 0.452 J/g °C and 0.385 J/g °C respectively.

The formula that relates specific heat capacity and change in temperature is as follows:

E=m×c×ΔT

Here, E is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat and ΔT is change in temperature.

On rearranging,

c=\frac{E}{m\times \Delta T}

Thus, change in temperature is inversely proportional to change in temperature. Change in temperature will be more for the element with low value of specific heat which is Cu in this case.

Since, the initial temperature is same for all the samples thus, Cu will reach the highest  temperature.

A 1.0 x 102- gram sample is found to be pure alanine, an amino acid found in proteins. How many moles of alanine are in the samp
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

1.123x10⁻⁴ moles of alanine

Explanation:

In order to convert grams of alanine into moles, <em>we need to know its molecular weight</em>:

The formula for alanine is C₃H₇NO₂, meaning <u>its molecular weight would be</u>:

  • 12*3 + 7*1 + 14 + 16*2 = 89 g/mol

Then we <u>divide the sample mass by the molecular weight</u>, to do the conversion:

  • 1.0x10⁻² g ÷ 89 g/mol = 1.123x10⁻⁴ moles

In Part A, you found the amount of product (1.80 mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of phosphorus and excess oxygen. In Par
Finger [1]

First step is to balance the reaction equation. Hence we get P4 + 5 O2 => 2 P2O5

Second, we calculate the amounts we start with

P4: 112 g = 112 g/ 124 g/mol – 0.903 mol

O2: 112 g = 112 g / 32 g/mol = 3.5 mol

Lastly, we calculate the amount of P2O5 produced.

2.5 mol of O2 will react with 0.7 mol of P2O5 to produce 1.4 mol of P2O5.

This is 1.4 * (31*2 + 16*5) = 198.8 g

Lithium acetate, LiCH3CO2, is a salt formed from the neutralization of the weak acid acetic acid, CH3CO2H, with the strong base
Vesna [10]

Answer : The pH of 0.289 M solution of lithium acetate at 25^oC is 9.1

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the value of K_b.

As we know that,

K_a\times K_b=K_w

where,

K_a = dissociation constant of an acid = 1.8\times 10^{-5}

K_b = dissociation constant of a base = ?

K_w = dissociation constant of water = 1\times 10^{-14}

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get the dissociation constant of a base.

1.8\times 10^{-5}\times K_b=1\times 10^{-14}

K_b=5.5\times 10^{-10}

Now we have to calculate the concentration of hydroxide ion.

Formula used :

[OH^-]=(K_b\times C)^{\frac{1}{2}}

where,

C is the concentration of solution.

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

[OH^-]=(5.5\times 10^{-10}\times 0.289)^{\frac{1}{2}}

[OH^-]=1.3\times 10^{-5}M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (1.3\times 10^{-5})

pOH=4.9

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-4.9=9.1

Therefore, the pH of 0.289 M solution of lithium acetate at 25^oC is 9.1

Describe how sodium conducts thermal energy. [3 Marks]
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

In metals, some of the electrons (often one per atom) are not stuck to individual atoms but flow freely among the atoms. Of course, that's why metals are such good conductors of electricity. Now if one end of a bar is hot, and the other is cold, the electrons on the hot end have a little more thermal energy- random jiggling- than the ones on the cold end. So as the electrons wander around, they carry energy from the hot end to the cold end, which is another way of saying they conduct heat.

Here, sodium is a metal which possesses an extra (valence) electron carries the heat around its body as it is a free electron, which enables sodium to conduct thermal energy.

Hope this help :)
