What does the specific heat for a substance indicate?

Chemistry
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
7 0

O the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 gram by 1°C

Explanation:

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C. It is an intensive property that is specific to every substance.

The unit is given as J/g⁻¹°C⁻¹ or J/g⁻¹K⁻¹

This related to the quantity of heat using the expression below:

             Q = mC∅

Q is the quantity of heat added

m is the mass

C is the specific heat

∅ is the temperature change.

He molecular formula mass of this compound is 180 amu . what are the subscripts in the actual molecular formula?
mezya [45]
I can't actually answer this one if the empirical formula is not given. Luckily, I've found a similar problem from another website. The problem is shown in the picture attached. It shows that the empirical formula is CH₂O. Let's calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula.

Molar mass of E.F = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30 g/mol

Then, let's divide this to the molar mass of the molecular formula.
Molar mass of M.F/Molar mass of E.F = 180/30 = 6

Therefore, let's multiply 6 to each subscript in the empirical formula to determine the actual molecular formula.
<em>Actual molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆</em>

C (graphite) is used as a lubricant, whereas C (diamond) is used as an abrasive. Why is this?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Carbon atoms in graphite and diamond are arranged in different ways. Hence, the two allotropes of carbon have different physical properties.

Explanation:

Both graphite and diamond are both made of only carbon atoms. However, their physical properties differ from each other. Hence, they are called allotropes. Think about how these carbon atoms are arranged in each of the allotropes.

<h3>Graphite</h3>

In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will be located in the same plane. A chunk of graphite can contain many of these planes.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. Three of these electrons will be used in the bonds. The other electron will be delocalized. These electrons would flow between the sheets of carbon atoms. That keeps the sheets separate and allow them to slide on top of each other.

<h3>Diamond</h3>

In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will form a tetrahedral network.  

In graphite, there's a significant separation between two adjacent sheets of carbon atoms. The force between the two sheets is rather weak. When a piece of graphite is between two objects that move over one another, the layers in the graphite would also slide over one another. Since the attraction between two adjacent sheets isn't very strong, there wouldn't be much resistance. Hence the graphite acts as a lubricant.  

In contrast, most of the carbon atoms in a piece of diamond would be connected to each other. Unlike the sheets in graphite, in a diamond there are almost no moving parts. Also, the forces between neighboring carbon atoms are very strong. When an external force acts on a chunk of diamond, the carbon atoms would barely move. Hence, the structure appears to be very rigid. That gives diamond its abrasive properties.
