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.

A certain drug has a half-life in the body of 3.5h. Suppose a patient takes one 200.Mg pill at :500PM and another identical pill
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the amount of drug in the body at 90 min by using the exponential decay equation:

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

λ: is the decay constant = ln(2)/t_{1/2}

t_{1/2}: is the half-life of the drug = 3.5 h

N(t): is the quantity of the drug at time t

N₀: is the initial quantity

After 90 min and before he takes the other 200 mg pill, we have:

N_{t} = 200e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*90 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 148.6 mg

Now, at 7:00 pm we have:

t = 7:00 pm - (5:00 pm + 90 min) = 30 min

N_{t} = (200 + 148.6)e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*30 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 315.7 mg    

Therefore, the amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg (from an initial amount of 400 mg).

I hope it helps you!

A student was asked to determine the densities of the four metals listed. The student was asked to determine the density of an u
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

D is correct

Explanation:

because

we know that

density of lead is 11.36 g/cm3

and

density of tin is 7.31 g/cm3

so..

density of alloy by mixing 50/50

=(11.36+7.31)/2 g/cm3

=18.67/2 g/cm3

=9.33 g/cm3
