A 100-gram sample of material requires 1220 calories of heat energy to raise its temperature from 20 0C to 80 0C. What is the sp

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, sensible heat and latent heat, the specific heat capacity of the material is 0.203 \frac{calories}{gC}.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

The amount of heat a body receives or transmits is determined by:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the material</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • Q= 1220 calories
  • c= ?
  • m= 100 g
  • ΔT=Tfinal - Tinitial= 80 C - 20 C= 60 C

Replacing in the definition of amount of heat:

1220 calories= c× 100 g× 60 C

Solving:

c= 1220 calories÷ (100 g× 60 C)

<u><em>c= 0.203 </em></u>\frac{calories}{gC}

Finally, the specific heat capacity of the material is 0.203 \frac{calories}{gC}.

Which feature is most likely found at a divergent boundary?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Fault-block mountain

In geography, fault-block mountains arise when the Earth's crust pulls apart and divides. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upwards whereas the other moves downward forming a divergent boundary. In geological studies, a divergent boundary can be described as a linear feature which arises due to plate tectonics which are being pulled apart from each other. Hence, fault-block mountains are most likely to be seen in a divergent boundary.

Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that molten lava rises to fill.

Need some help, please. Explain why anions are always larger than the atoms from which they are derived, while cations are alway
ANTONII [103]

The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.

To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.

While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.

On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.

How many moles of water can be formed from 0.57 moles of hydrogen gas?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

0.57 water

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to write the reaction expression first.

The reactants are oxygen gas and hydrogen gas.

They react to give a product of water

       2H₂    +    O₂   →   2 H₂O  

Given that;

Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 0.57moles

From the balanced reaction expression;

       2 moles of hydrogen gas produces 2 moles of water

   So;

    0.57mole of hydrogen gas will also produce 0.57 water
