Answer from: lyly214

The substance has the specific heat capacity of steel and is therefore probably steel.

Let the specific heat of the unknown lump of substance be .

Energy Exchange = Specific Heat ⨯ Mass ⨯ Temperature Change

Energy the Hot Lump Lost = Energy the Cold Water Gained

Water has a specific heat of $4.2 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g} ^{-1}\cdot \text{K}^{-1}$ and a density of $1 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{ml}^{-1}$ . 25.0 milliliters of water thus has a mass of 25.0 grams.

$115.7 \times (168.3 - 76.5) \; c = 4.2 \times 25.0 \times (76.5 - 25.0) \\c = 0.51 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}$

Steel has a specific heat of approximately $0.51 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}$ . This substance is thus probably steel.

The specific heat capacity of the substance: 509.18 J / Kg.K, which approaches the specific heat capacity of metals table chart is Steel, Mild

Further explanation

The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, i.e. the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released

Q in = Q out

Heat can be calculated using the formula:

Q = mc∆T

An unknown substance is placed in 25.0 mL of water and there will be heat transfer:

$\displaystyle m_mc_m (T_m-T) = m_wc_w (T-Tw)$

m = substance

w = water

T = the final temperature of the mixture

A hot lump of 115.7 g of an unknown substance initially at 168.3 ° C is placed in 25.0 mL of water initially at 25.0 ° C and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. The final temperature of the system is 76.5 ° C

known:

m of substance = 115.7 g = 0.1157 kg

Tm = 168.3 ◦C + 273 = 441.3 K

m of water = 25 ml = 25 g = 0.025 kg

Tw = 25 ◦C + 273 = 298 K

cw = 4,200 J / kg C

T = 76.5 + 273 = 349.5 K

the specific heat capacity of the substance:

$\displaystyle m_mc_m (T_m-T) = m_wc_w (T-Tw)$

$\displaystyle 0.1157.c_m (441.3-349.5) = 0.025.4200 (349.5-298)$

Answer from: Quest

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?
