A beaker of hot water with a volume of 43.9 mL has an initial temperature of 94.3 °C. You place a block of metal that has a mass of 43.89 g into the water until the water and metal are at thermal equilibrium. You record that the temperature of the metal increases by 66.56 °C. What is the final temperature °C at thermal equilibrium of the water and block, assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings? The specific heat of the metal block is 0.237 J/g·°C
When 130. mL of 0.204 M NaCl(aq) and 130. mL of 0.204 M AgNO3(aq), both at 21.1°C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the mixture increases to 23.6°C as solid AgCl forms. NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) This precipitation reaction produces 2.71x10³ J of heat, assuming no heat is absorbed by the calorimeter, no heat is exchanged between the calorimeter and its surroundings, and that the specific heat and density of the solutions are the same as those for water (4.18 J/g.°C, and 0.997 g/mL, respectively). Using this data, calculate AH in kJ/mol of AgNO3(aq) for the given reaction. 4.0✔✓ kJ/mol
In the laboratory a student determines the specific heat of a metal.He heats 18.4 grams of platinum to 99.28 °C and then drops it into an insulated cup containing 85.3 grams of water at 23.56 °C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, he measures the final temperature to be 24.10 °C.Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, he calculates the specific heat of platinum to be J/g°C.
