When you mix two substances, the heat gained by one substance is equal to the heat lost by the other substance. Suppose you place 125 g of aluminum in a calorimeter with 1,000 g of water. The water changes temperature by 2 °C and the aluminum changes temperature by –74.95 °C. Water has a known specific heat capacity of 4.184 J/g °C. Use the specific heat equation to find out how much heat energy the water gained (q). Assume that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the heat energy lost by the aluminum. Use the specific heat equation to solve for the specific heat of aluminum. (Hint: Because heat energy is lost, the value of q is negative.)

Answers

Answer 1

From the calculation, the specific heat capacity of the aluminum is 9.5 * 10^-5  J/g °C

What is specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity refers to the heat that is required to raise the temperature of a body by 1K. The heat gained by the water is equal to the heat energy lost by the aluminum hence the negative sign.

Thus;

-(125 * c *  –74.95) = 1,000 g *  4.184 *  2

c =  1,000 g *  4.184 *  2/125 * 74.95

c = 8368/9368.75

c= 9.5 * 10^-5  J/g °C

First some discussion, then the solution. Forgive me if the points seem obvious:

a) The colder water will warm up (heat energy "flows" in to it). The warmer metal will cool down (heat energy "flows" out of it).

b) The whole mixture will wind up at the SAME temperature. This is very, very important.

c) The energy which "flowed" out (of the warmer water) equals the energy which "flowed" in (to the colder water)

mixing water and food coloring

food molding (rotting)

writing on paper

dyeing fabric

Answers

Fogging a mirror with your breath is a physical change because it involves a phase change of water vapor condensing and adsorbing to the mirror surface. Phase changes are physical changes.

Breaking a bone is a physical change insofar as we're focusing on the  "breaking" part.

Mending a broken bone, however, is a different story. Bones are living things: They consist of tissues that in turn consist of cells. The actual mending process involves some very complicated biochemistry. Suffice it to say that mending a broken bone would be a chemical change.

Burning paper is a chemical change. Burning anything implies combustion, which is a chemical reaction where some fuel is oxidized (usually by oxygen gas, producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor).

Slicing potatoes for fries is a physical change. You can slice, dice, smash, mash, stretch, bend, compress, or grind a potato: What you will have is still a potato (okay, there are some chemical changes going on as you're rupturing cells in the process, causing them to release their contents which may participate in chemical reactions). But the key, again, is that cutting up some material doesn't fundamentally change the chemical identity of that material.

Mixing sugar with coffee actually involves two physical processes: the mixing and the (presumed) solvation of the solid sugar particles as they dissolve into the coffee. In either case, either mixing or dissolving would be a physical change. The sugar molecules are still in the coffee and are chemically unchanged.

Frying chicken is a chemical change. In fact, frying chicken likely entails several different types of chemical changes. The common thread among them is that frying involves breaking chemical bonds in and on the chicken by the addition of thermal energy, and new chemical bonds end up being formed. That's the hallmark of a chemical change.

A nail rusting is a chemical change. Rusting is an electrochemical process; the familiar corrosion of iron into rust is, at bottom, a chemical reaction where iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxides (often catalyzed by the presence of water and salts).

A paper ripping is analogous to slicing potatoes: it's a physical change. If you ripped one sheet of paper into two halves, each half would retain all the chemical properties of the original sheet.

Likewise, wood burning is analogous to burning paper, and as such is a chemical change. Again, combustion is a chemical process.

As we said earlier with sugar in coffee, mixing in itself is a physical process. While it may seem like you've permanently changed the nature of the water by dyeing it with food coloring, the molecules comprising the food coloring are simply dispersed within the vast sea of water molecules. There are no intramolecular bonds that are broken or formed; the chemical identities of all the substances here are preserved. So, this is a physical change.

Food molding (rotting) is a chemical change. Rotting is biochemical decomposition: the chemical bonds that make up the food are broken down by enzymes released by the mold.

Writing on paper, whether it be with a pen, pencil, crayon, or marker, is a physical change. The molecules from the writing instrument are physically stuck to the paper. But unless you're writing on paper by, say, burning letters onto it, there are no chemical changes occurring when the writing instrument meets the paper.

As with writing on paper, dyeing fabric can be a physical change. The dye consists of molecules that interact with light in a way that we perceive a certain color. When dyeing fabric, these molecules are transferred and fixed into the fabric by adsorption, absorption, and other intermolecular phenomena. But the molecules of the dye (and the molecules in the fabric) don't experience any breaking and forming of bonds. All of the substances involved retain their chemical identities.

However, it's possible that, depending on the dye, there may be chemical changes involved. Some dyes, appropriate named "reactive dyes," undergo chemical reactions with their substrate (which, in this case, would be the fabric), or dyes may be used that undergo chemical reactions with one another, both of which would constitute chemical changes. And it can depend on what you mean by "dyeing": Bleaching a colored shirt can technically be conceived of as "dyeing" the shirt white, and this process involves cleavage of bonds within the color-producing molecules in the fabric by reacting with the molecules in the bleach.

So, for dyeing fabric, it can be a physical or chemical change depending on the dye.

Acceptance of Responsibility creates more rapport, increases teamwork, increases honesty, and makes each party look at things from a position of rationality and mutual understanding.

What is Acceptance of Responsibility?

When a person accepts responsibility for their actions and or tasks or their work or their organization, it means that they have elected to become more accountable, looking at things from what they can do to help achieve the collective goal rather than their personal aspirations.

For the reaction HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + H2O, how many grams of magnesium nitrate are produced from 8.00 mol of nitric acid, HNO3? Balance the equation

Answers

Answer:

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2 --> 2H2O + Mg(NO3)2

593.2 grams Mg(NO3)2

Explanation:

First, balance the equation

The first thing I notice is that there are 2 nitrates on the reactant side so I would put a 2 in front of HNO3. Now the problem is that there are 4 hydrogens on the reactants side, so add a 2 to H2O.

Next is stoichiometry

We are looking for Mg(NO3)2 so use the balanced equation to create a mole ratio and then convert to grams.

8 mol HNO3 * 1 mol Mg(NO3)2/2 mol HNO3 * 148.3 g Mg(NO3)2/1 mol Mg(NO3)2 = 593.2 grams Mg(NO3)2

593.2 grams of Magnesium Nitrate [[tex]Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex]] are produced.  

Balancing the equation we get:

[tex]2HNO_3 + Mg(OH)_2 = 2H_2O + Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex]

Here we can see that [tex]2HNO_3[/tex]  produces [tex]1Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex]

It implies that to make 1 mole of [tex]Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex] we need 2 moles of [tex]2HNO_3[/tex]

Therefore in 8 moles of  [tex]2HNO_3[/tex] , 4 moles of [tex]Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex]will be produces.

Now, 1 mole of [tex]Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex] = 148.3 g

       4 moles of [tex]Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex] = 4 × 148.3 g = 593.2 g of magnesium nitrate will be produced.
