A 2.74-g sample of a substance suspected of being pure gold is warmed to 72.1 oC and submerged into 15.2 g of water initially at 24.7 oC. The final temperature of the mixture is 26.3 oC. What is the heat capacity of the substance? Could the substance be pure gold?

(The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g oC)

J/g oC (Round to three significant digits)

Look up the specific heat capacity of gold.

Could the unknown substance be pure gold? Write yes or no in the following box:

Answers

Answer 1

1. The specific heat capacity of the sample of gold obtained is 0.81 J/gºC

2. The substance is not pure gold

1. How to determine the specific heat capacity of gold From the question given above, the following data were obtained:Mass of gold (M₉) = 2.74 gTemperature of gold (T₉) = 72.1 °CMass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 15.2 g Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 24.7 °C Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 26.3 °C Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC Specific heat capacity of gold (C₉) =?

The specific heat capacity of the sample of gold can be obtained as follow:

Heat loss = Heat gain

M₉C₉(M₉ –Tₑ) = MᵥᵥC(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)

2.74 × C₉(72.1 – 26.3) = 15.2 × 4.184 (26.3 – 24.7)

C₉ × 125.492 = 101.75488

Divide both side by 125.492

C₉ = 101.75488 / 125.492

C₉ = 0.81 J/gºC

2. How to determine if the substance is pure Specific heat capacity of gold calculated = 0.81 J/gºC Specific heat capacity of pure gold = 0.13 J/gºC

From the above we can conclude that the substance is not pure gold since the calculated and standard value of the specific heat capacity of the gold sample is not the same

A sample of boron consist of 10B (mass 10.0 amu) and 11B(mass 11.0). If the average atomic mass of B is 10.8 amu, what is the % abundance of each boron isotope

Answers

Answer:

%abundance of isotope B-11 is 80%, therefore, the %abundance of isotope B-10 is 20%.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of an element is actually a weighted average atomic mass, taking into account the percent abundance of the naturally occurring isotopes of the element.

To calculate the weighted average mass, you must take the sum of atomic masses of all the naturally occurring isotopes multiplied by their %abundance.

Ave At. Mass = sum of [(isotopic mass)(%abundance)]/100

If we let the %abundance of B-11 be represented by X, then the %abundance of B-10 must be (100-X).

Now we can set up the following equation and solve for X

10.8 = [(10)(100-X) + (11)(X)]/100

1080 = 1000 - 10X + 11X

80 = X

So, the %abundance of isotope B-11 is 80%, therefore, the %abundance of isotope B-10 is 20%.

Pure copper may be produced by the reaction of copper (I) sulfide with oxygen gas:

Cu2S (s) + O2 (g) --> 2Cu (s) + SO2 (g)

If 3-kg of copper (I) sulfide reacts with excess oxygen, what mass of copper metal may be produced??

Answers

If 3-kg of copper (I) sulfide reacts with excess oxygen, 3.9 kg of copper metal may be produced.

Let's consider the following balanced equation for the obtaining of pure copper.

Cu₂S(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 Cu(s) + SO₂(g)

The molar mass of Cu₂S is 95.61 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 3 kg (3000 g) of Cu₂S are:

[tex]3000 g \times \frac{1mol}{95.61g} = 31 mol[/tex]

The molar ratio of Cu₂S to Cu is 1:2. The moles of Cu obtained from 31 moles of Cu₂S are:

[tex]31 mol Cu_2S \times \frac{2molCu}{1molCu_2S} =62 mol Cu[/tex]

The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 62 moles of Cu is:

[tex]62 mol \times \frac{63.55g}{mol} = 3.9 \times 10^{3} g = 3.9 kg[/tex]

If 3-kg of copper (I) sulfide reacts with excess oxygen, 3.9 kg of copper metal may be produced.

Redox reaction

A redox reaction is one in which there is loss or gain of electrons. The equation of the reaction is 5Fe2+ + MnO4- + 8H+ - - > 5Fe2+ + Mn2+ +4H2O

Number of moles of permanganate =   0.0200 mol. dm3 * 18.10cm3/1000 L

= 0.000362 moles

If 5 moles of iron II reacted with 1 mole of permanganate

x moles of iron II reacts with 0.000362 moles of permanganate

x = 5 moles * 0.000362 moles/ 1 mole

= 0.00181 moles of iron II

Recall that;

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of iron  II = 56 g/mol

0.00181 moles  = x/56 g/mol

x = 0.00181 moles * 56 g/mol = 0.1 g

If 1 mole of the complex contains 1 mole of iron then;

0.00181 moles = 500 * 10^-3/MM

Which element has four times as many protons in its nucleus than are found in Neon?

Explanation: Neon has 10 Protons and four times ten is 40. And Zirconium has 40 protons the symbol for Zirconium is Zr

Neon has 10 protons, the element which has four times more protons than Neon in its nucleus is Zirconium(Zr).

What is a proton?Every atom has a proton, a subatomic particle, in its nucleus. The particle possesses an electrical charge that is positive and opposite to the electrons. A single proton has a mass of only [tex]1.673[/tex]×[tex]10^{-27}[/tex] kilogram when isolated. Just slightly less than a neutron's mass.The atomic number is the number of protons in an element's nucleus. Each element is given a unique identification by this number. The number of protons in the nucleus is constant in all atoms of a given element. The nucleus of an atom of pure hydrogen is made up entirely of one proton. All other elements' nuclei almost usually have neutrons in addition to protons.Protons need not just be found in atoms' nuclei. Protons acquire fascinating, peculiar, and potentially hazardous characteristics when they are discovered outside of atomic nuclei, which are analogous to neutrons in comparable situations. Protons have another characteristic, they can be accelerated by electric and/or magnetic fields because they carry an electric charge. During solar flares, a lot of high-speed protons and atomic nuclei holding them are released. The acceleration of the particles by the earth's magnetic field results in geomagnetic storms, which are ionospheric disturbances.

What is the pH of the solution obtained by mixing 68.00 mL of 0.280 M HCl and 60.00 mL of 0.125 M NaOH

Answers

The pH of the solution is approximately : 1.05

Given data :

volume of HCl = 68.00 mL = 0.068 L

concentration of HCl = 0.280 M

Volume of NaOH = 60 mL = 0.6 L

concentration of NaOH = 0.125 M

Determine the pH of the solution

First step : determine the number of mol of HCl and NaOH

mol of HCl = 0.068 * 0.280  = 0.0190 mol HCl

mol of NaOH = 0.06 * 0.125 = 0.0075 mol NaOH volume of

excess moles of H⁺ after reaction  = 0.0190 - 0.0075 = 0.0115 mol

Next step : determine the pH value of the solution

Total volume of solution = 0.068 + 0.060 = 0.128

concentration of the solution [ H⁺ ] = excess moles / total volume

                                                         = 0.0115 / 0.128 = 0.0898

Therefore

pH = - log [ H⁺ ]

    = - log ( 0.0898 ) = 1.047 ≈ 1.05

Hence we can conclude that The pH of the solution is approximately : 1.05 .
