Question

A student collected the following data to determine the specific heat of a metal sample.  50.0 g of metal were transferred from boiling water into a calorimeter containing 100 g of H2O at 22.3oC.  The temperature of the water rose to 23.5oC.  Calculate the specific heat of the metal.

Enter your answer with 3 significant figures.

Based on the calculated specific heat, what is the most likely identity of the metal in the previous problem? Give your answer as the elemental symbol (e.g. sodium as Na)

QUESTION 12

Ethylene glycol is produced according to the following equation

Explanation / Answer

11) heat lost by metal = heat gained by water

m metal *S metal *DT1 = mwater*swater*DT1

DT2 = Tinitial - Tfinal = 100 - 23.5

DT2 = Tfinal - Tinitial = 23.5 - 22.3

50 * s*(100 - 23.5) = 100*4.184*(23.5-22.3)

smetal = specificheat of metal = 0.131 j/g.c

12)

( 2 C2H4O + 5 O2 ---> 4 CO2 + 4 H2O )*1/2

2 CO2 + 3 H2O ---> HOCH2CH2OH + 5/2 O2

---------------------------------------------

C2H4O + H2O HOCH2CH2OH   DHrxn = (-2612.2*1/2)+1189.8 = -116.3 kj

------------------------------------

13) heat released (q) = m*s*DT

                      = 50.5*4.184*(22.5-5.1) = 3.68 kj

   no of mole of NH4Cl = 10.5/53.5 = 0.196 mole

enthalpy of hydration of ammonium chloride (DHhyd) = q/n

     = 3.68/0.196 = 18.77 kj/mol

    = 18770 j/mol
