Question

Since Kim’s reaction mixture was mostly water, she took the reaction
mixture’s specific heat to be that of water, c
w = 4.184 J/g °C, and the
density was taken to be the density of water (1.00 g/mL).
a. What was the mass of Kim’s mixture?

Answer 1

hm. does it give you the volume of the mixture?

Answer 2

yes 50mL, and the other mass is .962 grams

Answer 3

0.962g? is that the mass of the solute added?

Answer 4

anyway, since you have density, you can multiply density of water (4.184 g/mL) times the volume of water (50mL) to get the mass of water; if they give you the mass of solute you can add that as well

Answer 5

Thanks!
