A 126-gram sample of titanium metal is heated from 20.0°C to 45.4°C while absorbing 1.68 kJ of heat. What is the specific heat of titanium?

The specific heat for the titanium metal is 0.524 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1.68 kJ   = 1680 Joules

mass = 126 grams

T₁ = 20°C

T₂ = 45.4°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

Here, ΔT =  T₂ - T₁ = 45.4 - 20 = 25.4°C.

Substituting values,

1680 = (126)(25.4)(Cp)

By solving,

Cp = 0.524 J/g°C.

The specific heat for the titanium metal is 0.524 J/g°C.

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8
