The SI unit for specific heat is J/g°C. Therefore, specific heat can be determined using this formula:

Specific Heat = Energy / (mass x temperature change)

Thus,

Specific Heat = 3.912 cal / (9.84 oz x (191.2 ˚F – 73.2 ˚F))

Specific Heat = 3.369 x 10^-3 cal/oz-˚F

A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The
KiRa [2933]
To determine the specific heat capacity of the metal and assist in its identification, the heat absorbed by the calorimeter can be computed using: Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change Q = 250 * 1.035 * (11.08 - 10) Q = 279.45 cal/g. Next, we employ the same formula for the metal because the heat taken in by the calorimeter should equal the heat expelled by the metal. -279.45 = 50 * c * (11.08 - 45) [the minus sign indicates energy release] solving for c gives us 0.165. Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the metal amounts to 0.165 cal/g°C.

A substance is 35.7% carbon by mass. How much carbon could be recovered from 769 g of the substance? 1. 180 mol 2. 258 mol 3. 22
KiRa [2933]

Response:

22.9 moles (Option 5)

Clarification:

A substance being 35.7% carbon by mass signifies that in every 100 g of the substance, there is 35.7 g of carbon.

Using a rule of three, we get:

100 g of substance ___ has __ 35.7 g of C

769 g of substance ___ has ___ ( 769.35.7) / 100 = 274.5 g of C

1 mol of C = 12 g/m

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

274.5 g / 12 g/m = 22.9 moles

You have two 500.0 ml aqueous solutions. solution a is a solution of a metal nitrate that is 8.246% nitrogen by mass the ionic c
lorasvet [2795]
1) The ionic compound present in solution b is K₂CrO₄ (potassium chromate). This compound contains two potassiums (oxidation state +1), a single chromium (oxidation state +6), and four oxygen atoms. The oxidation state of oxygen is -2, resulting in a neutral compound: 2 · (+1) + 6 + x · (-2) = 0. Hence, x = 4, denoting the count of oxygen atoms. 2) The ionic compound in solution a is AgNO₃ (silver nitrate). ω(N) = 8.246% ÷ 100%. Thus, ω(N) = 0.08246, indicating the mass percentage of nitrogen. M(MNO₃) = M(N) ÷ ω(N). It follows that M(MNO₃) = 14 g/mol ÷ 0.08246, leading to M(MNO₃) = 169.8 g/mol; the molar mass of the metal nitrate. M(M) = M(MNO₃) - M(N) - 3 · M(O). Consequently, M(M) = 169.8 g/mol - 14 g/mol - 3 · 16 g/mol, resulting in M(M) = 107.8 g/mol which is the atomic mass of silver (Ag). 3) The balanced chemical equation is: 2AgNO₃(aq) + K₂CrO₄(aq) → Ag₂CrO₄(s) + 2KNO₃(aq). In ionic form: 2Ag⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq) → Ag₂CrO₄(s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq). The net ionic equation is: 2Ag⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq) → Ag₂CrO₄(s). Thus, the red precipitate is identified as silver chromate (Ag₂CrO₄). 4) The mass of solid silver chromate created is m(Ag₂CrO₄) = 331.8 g. The amount is determined by n(Ag₂CrO₄) = m(Ag₂CrO₄) ÷ M(Ag₂CrO₄). Therefore, n(Ag₂CrO₄) = 331.8 g ÷ 331.8 g/mol yields n(Ag₂CrO₄) = 1 mol. From the balanced equation, n(Ag₂CrO₄): n(AgNO₃) = 1: 2, it follows n(AgNO₃) = 2 · 1 mol, which means n(AgNO₃) = 2 mol. Then, the mass of silver nitrate is computed as m(AgNO₃) = n(AgNO₃) · M(AgNO₃). Hence, m(AgNO₃) = 2 mol · 169.8 g/mol gives m(AgNO₃) = 339.6 g; thus, m(AgNO₄) equals m(K₂CrO₄). Therefore, m(K₂CrO₄) = 339.6 g; amount of potassium chromate is n(K₂CrO₄) = m(K₂CrO₄) ÷ M(K₂CrO₄). Thus, n(K₂CrO₄) = 339.6 g ÷ 194.2 g/mol thus arrives at n(K₂CrO₄) = 1.75 mol. 5) The dissociation of silver nitrate in water is expressed as: AgNO₃(aq) → Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq). Volume of solution a = 500 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L results in V(solution a) = 0.5 L. Concentration equation c(AgNO₃) = n(AgNO₃) ÷ V(solution a), thus c(AgNO₃) = 2 mol ÷ 0.5 L, yielding c(AgNO₃) = 4 mol/L = 4 M. As a result: c(AgNO₃) = c(Ag⁺) = c(NO₃⁻). Thus, c(Ag⁺) = 4 M; the concentration of silver ions in the initial solution a. 6) The dissociation of potassium chromate in water is represented as: K₂CrO₄(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq). Volume of solution b = 500 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L results in V(solution b) = 0.5 L. Following, c(K₂CrO₄) is calculated as n(K₂CrO₄) ÷ V(solution b). So c(AgNO₃) = 1.75 mol ÷ 0.5 L gives c(AgNO₃) = 3.5 mol/L = 3.5 M. Consequently: c(K⁺) = 7 M; the concentration of potassium ions in solution b. Therefore, c(CrO₄²⁻) = 3.5 M; the concentration of chromium ions in the same solution. 7) The total final volume is V(final solution) = V(solution a) + V(solution b). Thus, V(final solution) = 500.0 mL + 500.0 mL leads to V(final solution) = 1000 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L results in V(final solution) = 1 L. Then n(NO₃⁻) = 2 mol. Therefore, c(NO₃⁻) = n(NO₃⁻) ÷ V(final solution) finds c(NO₃⁻) = 2 mol ÷ 1 L and results in c(NO₃⁻) = 2 M; the concentration of nitrate anions in the final solution. 8) In solution b, there are 3.5 mol of potassium cations while part of that combines with 2 moles of nitrate anions: K⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → KNO₃(aq). From the reaction: n(K⁺): n(NO₃⁻) = 1: 1. Thus, Δn(K⁺) = 3.5 mol - 2 mol results in Δn(K⁺) = 1.5 mol, signifying the remaining potassium anions in the final solution. Thus, c(K⁺) = Δn(K⁺) ÷ V(final solution) yields c(K⁺) = 1.5 mol ÷ 1 L, leading to c(K⁺) = 1.5 M; the final concentration of potassium cations.

"A sample of silicon has an average atomic mass of 28.084amu. In the sample, there are three isotopic forms of silicon. About 92
lorasvet [2795]

Answer: The percentage abundance for _{14}^{30}\textrm{Si} isotope is 3.09 %.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking the sum of the masses of all isotopes weighted by their respective natural fractional abundances.

To compute average atomic mass, the following formula is applied:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

From the information provided:

Let the fractional abundance for _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope be 'x'

  • For _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope:

Mass of _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope = 27.9769 amu

Percentage abundance of _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope = 92.22 %

Fractional abundance for _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope = 0.9222

  • For _{14}^{29}\textrm{Si} isotope:

Mass of _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope = 28.9764 amu

Percentage abundance for _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope = 4.68%

Fractional abundance of _{14}^{28}\textrm{Si} isotope = 0.0468

  • For _{14}^{30}\textrm{Si} isotope:

Mass of _{14}^{30}\textrm{Si} isotope = 29.9737 amu

Fractional abundance for _{14}^{30}\textrm{Si} isotope = x

  • The average atomic mass of silicon is 28.084 amu

By inserting these values into equation 1, we derive:

28.084=[(27.9769\times 0.9222)+(28.9764\times 0.0468)+(29.9737\times x)]\\\\x=0.0309

To convert this fractional abundance into a percentage, multiply by 100:

\Rightarrow 0.0309\times 100=3.09\%

This shows that the percentage abundance for _{14}^{30}\textrm{Si} isotope is 3.09 %.
