Generating electricity from solar panels produce no greenhouse gases whatsoever, and so can help to reduce the effect of climate change if used widely. With solar energy powering a home or business, these is no burning of fuel and no emissions from energy production.
Answer:
specific heat.
Explanation:
Definition:
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree is called specific heat.
Formula:
Q = m. c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat required
m = mass of substance
c = specific heat of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
The substance with greater value of specific heat require more heat to raise the temperature while the substance with lower value will raise its temperature very quickly by absorbing smaller heat.
For example the beach sand gets hot very quickly because of lower specific heat of sand while water is colder than sand because of higher specific heat capacity.
Answer:
- 178 ºC
Explanation:
The ideal gas law states that :
PV = nRT,
where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is number of moles , R is the gas constant and T is the absolute temperature.
For the initial conditions :
P₁ V₁ = n₁ R T₁ (1)
and for the final conditions:
P₂V₂= n₂ R T₂ where n₂ = n₁/2 then P₂ V₂ = n₁/2 T₂ (2)
Assuming V₂ = V₁ and dividing (2) by Eqn (1) :
P₂ V₂ = n₁/2 R T₂ / ( n₁ R T₁) then P₂ / P₁ = 1/2 T₂ / T₁
4.10 atm / 25.7 atm = 1/2 T₂ / 298 K ⇒ T₂ = 0.16 x 298 x 2 = 95.1 K
T₂ = 95 - 273 = - 178 º C
