A block of an alloy of mass 37.0 g and at a temperature of 15.51 Â°C is placed in a calorimeter containing 41.0 g of water at 81.93 Â°C. If the final temperature of the alloy and water is 39.77 Â°C, calculate the specific heat (in J/g/K) of the metal. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g/K.

A block of an alloy of mass 25.0 g and at a temperature of 5.64 Â°C is placed in a calorimeter containing 40.0 g of water at 88.00 Â°C. If the final temperature of the alloy and water is 63.55 Â°C, calculate the specific heat (in J/g/K) of the metal. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g/K. Express your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.

Hi there,

I need help with these two chemistry gas/pressure questions. Please show your work. Thank you.

Q1) A 9.82 g sample of 2-ethylhexanal (formula C₈H₁₆O), is mixed with 29.39 atm of O₂ in a 1.96 L combustion chamber at 333 Â°C. The combustion reaction to CO₂ and H₂O is initiated and the vessel is cooled back to 333 Â°C.

What is P_CO2 (in atm) in the combustion chamber assuming the reaction goes to completion? Assume all water is water vapour and that the volume of the system does not change.

Q2) an alloy of mass 40.0 g and at a temperature of 14.51 Â°C is placed in a calorimeter containing 47.0 g of dichlorobenzene at 88.81 Â°C. If the final temperature of the alloy and dichlorobenzene is 60.56 Â°C, calculate the specific heat (in J/g/K) of the metal. The specific heat of dichlorobenzene is 1.13 J/g/K. Express your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.

A) What is PCO2 the combustion chamber assuming the reaction goes to completion? Assume all water is water vapour and that the volume of the system does not change. Answer in atm.

Last answer: 1.947 atm (wrong)

B) What is P_O2 (in atm) in the combustion chamber after the reaction goes to completion?

Q2) A block of an alloy of mass 40.0 g and at a temperature of 14.51 Â°C is placed in a calorimeter containing 47.0 g of dichlorobenzene at 88.81 Â°C. If the final temperature of the alloy and dichlorobenzene is 60.56 Â°C, calculate the specific heat (in J/g/K) of the metal. The specific heat of dichlorobenzene is 1.13 J/g/K. Express your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.

Last answer: 1.52 J/g/K. (Wrong)
