A 13.5g sample of gold is heated, then placed in a calorimeter containing 60g of water. The temperature of water increases from 19oC to 20oC. The specific heat of gold is 0.13J/goC. What was the initial temperature of the gold metal sample?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]T_i~=163.1[/tex] ºC

Explanation:

We have to start with the variables of the problem:

Mass of water = 60 g

Mass of gold = 13.5 g

Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC

Final temperature of water= 20 ºC

Initial temperature of gold= Unknow

Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC

Specific heat of gold = 0.13J/gºC

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Now if we remember the heat equation:

[tex]Q_H_2_O=m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT[/tex]

[tex]Q_A_u=m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT[/tex]

We can relate these equations if we take into account that all heat of gold is transfer to the water, so:

[tex]m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT=~-~m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT[/tex]

Now we can put the values into the equation:

[tex]60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C=-(13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C*(20-T_i)~{\circ}C)[/tex]

Now we can solve for the initial temperature of gold, so:

[tex]T_i~=(\frac{60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C}{13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C})+20[/tex]

[tex]T_i~=163.1[/tex] ºC

I hope it helps!

Answer 2

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry,  the initial temperature of the gold metal sample is 163.36 °C.

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

For gold:Mass of gold = 13.5 gInitial temperature of gold= Unknown Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC Specific heat of gold = 0.13 [tex]\frac{J}{gC}[/tex]For water:Mass of water = 60 g Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC Final temperature of water= 20 ºC Specific heat of water = 4.186 [tex]\frac{J}{gC}[/tex]

Replacing in the expression to calculate heat exchanges:

For gold: Qgold= 0.13 [tex]\frac{J}{gC}[/tex]× 13.5 g× (20 C - Initial temperature of gold)

For water: Qwater= 4.186 [tex]\frac{J}{gC}[/tex]× 60 g× (20 C - 19 C)

If two isolated bodies or systems exchange energy in the form of heat, the quantity received by one of them is equal to the quantity transferred by the other body. That is, the total energy exchanged remains constant, it is conserved.

Then, the heat that the gold gives up will be equal to the heat that the water receives. Therefore:

- Qgold = + Qwater

- 0.13 [tex]\frac{J}{gC}[/tex]× 13.5 g× (20 C - Initial temperature of gold)= 4.186 [tex]\frac{J}{gC}[/tex]× 60 g× (20 C - 19 C)

Solving:

- 1.755 [tex]\frac{J}{C}[/tex]× (20 C - Initial temperature of gold)= 251.16 J

- 1.755 [tex]\frac{J}{C}[/tex]× 20 C - (- 1.755 [tex]\frac{J}{C}[/tex])× Initial temperature of gold= 251.16 J

- 35.1 J +1.755 [tex]\frac{J}{C}[/tex]× Initial temperature of gold= 251.16 J

1.755 [tex]\frac{J}{C}[/tex]× Initial temperature of gold= 251.16 J + 35.1 J

1.755 [tex]\frac{J}{C}[/tex]× Initial temperature of gold=286.7 J

Initial temperature of gold=286.7 J÷ 1.755 [tex]\frac{J}{C}[/tex]

Initial temperature of gold= 163.36 °C

Finally, the initial temperature of the gold metal sample is 163.36 °C.

which statement explains the energy term in this reaction

Answers

Answer:

Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:

        [tex]^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n[/tex]                       ⇒        [tex]^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy[/tex]

total mass equals 236.053 u              total mass equals 235.868 u

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Answer: From Einstein’s equation  E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.

The law of conservation of energy  holds for this type of reaction (i.e  the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.

From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u

Explanation:

If nothing dissolves into the water, then it should be clear.

Answer:You can tell if the sugar is still there by boiling off the water and leaving the sugar behind in the container. Sugar is a solid, and therefore cannot evaporate, so when the water reaches boiling point, it will evaporate at a quicker rate than before (water evaporates at any temperature in liquid form; just not enough to be noticeable) and leave the container to become water vapour

Answers

Answer: 9.91×10²³ particles

Explanation:

To find the amount of particles, you will need to use the Ideal Gas Law with what we are given.

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

After we find moles, we can use Avogadro's number to convert to particles.

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

P=101.3kPa=1.00 atm

V=4.0 L

T=23°C+273.15=296.15 K

R=0.08206 Latm/Kmol

[tex]n=\frac{(1.00 atm)(4.0 L)}{(0.08206Latm/Kmol)(296.15K)}[/tex]

[tex]n=0.164595 mol[/tex]

Now that we have moles, we can convert to particles.

[tex]0.164595mol*\frac{6.022*10^2^3 particles}{mol} =9.91*10^2^2 particles[/tex]

a. 9 mole of CO2 b. 10 moles of Xe
c. 11 moles of N2O d. 12 moles of CO

Answers

Answer:

12 moles of CO

Explanation:

According to Avogadro, one mole of a substance, contains the same number of elementary entities as 12g of carbon-12. Now the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, particles etc) in any substance is given by the Avogadro's constant.

Now since 1 mole of a substance contains Avogadro's number of atoms, it means that the substance with the highest number of moles will have the highest number of atoms.

With this in mind we can see that 12 moles of CO is expected to contain 72.24 ×10^23 atoms of CO. Hence the answer.

Answer:

c. 11 moles of N2O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for each substance, we use the Avogadro's number to compute the number of atoms in the given sample:

a.

[tex]atoms \ C=9molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ C}{1molC} =5.4x10^{24}atoms\ C[/tex]

[tex]atoms \ O=9molCO_2*\frac{2molO}{1molCO_2} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ O}{1molO} =1.1x10^{25}atoms\ O[/tex]

[tex]Total\ atoms=1.1x10^{25}+5.4x10^{24}=1.64x10^{25}atoms[/tex]

b.

[tex]atoms \ Xe=10molXe *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ Xe}{1molXe} =6.022x10^{24}atoms[/tex]

c.

[tex]atoms \ N=11molN_2O*\frac{2molN}{1molN_2O} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ N}{1molN} =1.3x10^{25}atoms\ N[/tex]

[tex]atoms \ O=11molN_2O*\frac{1molO}{1molN_2O} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ O}{1molO} =6.6x10^{24}atoms\ O[/tex]

[tex]Total\ atoms=1.3x10^{25}+6.6x10^{24}=2.0x10^{25}atoms[/tex]

d.

[tex]atoms \ C=12molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ C}{1molC} =7.2x10^{24}atoms\ C[/tex]

[tex]atoms \ O=12molCO_2*\frac{1molO}{1molCO_2} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms\ O}{1molO} =7.2x10^{24}atoms\ O[/tex]

[tex]Total\ atoms=7.2x10^{24}+7.2x10^{24}=1.44x10^{25}atoms[/tex]

Thus, we notice 11 moles of N2O have the greatest number of atoms.

The reaction between solid calcium carbonate and a mineral acid such as aqueous HCl is a neutralization reaction and occurs with the evolution of CO2 gas.

The balanced equation is given below

CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H20 + CO2

The product CaCl2 is water soluble which accounts for why the stain is removed, while CO2 gas escapes away from the reaction surface.

Answer:

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + 2CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Explanation:

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + 2CO2(g) + H2O(l)

When an acid reacts with a metal carbonate a salt, carbon dioxide and water are formed. Hard water usually contain Ca^2+ in the form of Ca(HCO3)2. Minor heating causes CaCO3(calcium carbonate) to deposit on surfaces through which the hard water passes.

Calcium carbonate reacts with acids to produce a calcium salt, water and carbon dioxide: Calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid → Calcium chloride + Water + Carbon dioxide. The carbonate radical breaks up into carbon dioxide and oxygen; the oxygen binds with the acid's hydrogen ions to make water; and a solution of calcium chloride remains.

Please help, and solve the problem in kJ

Answers

Answer:

1. Exothermic.

2. Yes, released.

3. 38.65KJ of heat is released.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

2NO2 —> N2O4...... ΔH = –55.3KJ

1. The sign of the enthalpy change, ΔH tells whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic. Since the sign of the enthalpy change, ΔH is negative, the reaction is exothermic.

2. The negative sign indicate that heat is released to the surrounding. Since the reaction is generally an exothermic reaction, 64.3g of NO2 will also release heat to the surroundings.

3. Molar mass of NO2 = 14 + (16x2) = 46g/mol

Mass of NO2 from the balanced equation = 2 x 46 = 92g.

From the balanced equation above:

92g of NO2 reacted to release –55.3KJ of heat.

Therefore, 64.3g of NO2 will react to release = (64.3 x –55.3)/92 = 38.65KJ of heat.

Therefore, 38.65KJ of heat is released.

Answers

Answer:

O, S, Se, Te, Po

Explanation:

O, S, Se, Te, Po are all elements found in group sixteen of the periodic table. Remember that the commonality between all the elements in the same group of the periodic table is that they all possess the same number of outermost electrons. All elements in the same group must have the same number of outermost electrons in their outermost shell.

Now, having six electrons in their outermost shell implies that they readily bond with two other atoms to complete their octet. In accordance with the octet rule. This explains why oxygen bonds with calcium by gaining two electrons in calcium oxide.

A reducing agent is a substance which gives up its electrons to become oxidized. Generally, metals are oxidized (reducing agents) while non-metals are reduced (oxidizing agents).

However, hydrogen which is a non-metal is usually oxidized in the presence of stronger oxidizing non-metals such as fluorine and oxygen.

Hydrogen thus, acts as a reducing agent by giving up its electrons to become oxidized. Even though among all non-metals, Hydrogen has the greatest potential to be oxidized, it is a poor reducing agent compared to reactive metals.
