How to solve determine the final temperature when 450.2 grams of aluminum at 95.2°c is placed in an insulated calorimeter with 60.0 grams of water at 10.0°c?

To solve this, we simply equate the change in enthalpy for the two substances since heat gained by water is equal to heat lost of aluminum. We know that the heat capacity of aluminum is 0.089 J/g°C and that of water is 4.184 J/g°C. Therefore:

450.2 (95.2 - T) (0.089) = 60 (T – 10) (4.184)

3,814.45456 – 40.0678 T = 251.04 T – 2,510.4

291.1078 T = 6,324.85456

T = 21.7°C

pure water does not conduct electricity very well. however, when certain substances are dissolved in water, the solution does conduct electricity. you can make a simple device that shows how well a solution conducts electricity. this device uses a flashlight bulb to indicate how well the solution conducts electricity. the better the solution conducts electricity, the brighter the bulb will glow.

explanation:

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
