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.

What is the freezing point (in degrees Celcius) of 3.75 kg of water if it contains 189.9 g of C a B r 2?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The freezing point of the solution is -1.4°C

Explanation:

Freezing point decreases by the addition of a solute to the original solvent, <em>freezing point depression formula is:</em>

ΔT = kf×m×i

<em>Where Kf is freezing point depression constant of the solvent (1.86°C/m), m is molality of the solution (Moles CaBr₂ -solute- / kg water -solvent) and i is Van't Hoff factor.</em>

Molality of the solution is:

-moles CaBr₂ (Molar mass:

189.9g ₓ (1mol / 199.89g) = 0.95 moles

Molality is:

0.95 moles CaBr₂ / 3.75kg water = <em>0.253m</em>

Van't hoff factor represents how many moles of solute are produced after the dissolution of 1 mole of solid solute, for CaBr₂:

CaBr₂(s) → Ca²⁺ + 2Br⁻

3 moles of ions are formed from 1 mole of solid solute, Van't Hoff factor is 3.

Replacing:

ΔT = kf×m×i

ΔT = 1.86°C/m×0.253m×3

ΔT = 1.4°C

The freezing point of water decreases in 1.4°C. As freezing point of water is 0°C,

<h3>The freezing point of the solution is -1.4°C</h3>

How is modeling useful to scientist
Keith_Richards [23]
In science, a model is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.
Models have a variety of uses – from providing a way of explaining complex data to presenting as a hypothesis. There may be more than one model proposed by scientists to explain or predict what might happen in particular circumstances. Often scientists will argue about the ‘rightness’ of their model, and in the process, the model will evolve or be rejected. Consequently, models are central to the process of knowledge-building in science and demonstrate how science knowledge is tentative.

Which change occurs when a barium atom loses two electrons?(1) It becomes a negative ion and its radius decreases.(2) It becomes
Tcecarenko [31]
<h2>Changes Occurs when a Barium Atom - Option 3  </h2>

When a barium atom loses two electrons it becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases. Barium (Ba) has atomic number 56 so it has 2 electrons in first shell of an atom to become stable according to duplet rule. Then other 52 electrons revolve in the shells according to octet rules.

Another 2 electrons are in the outermost shell. To become stable electrons lose to form barium ions (Ba+2). Hence, by losing 2 electrons the outermost shell will be diminished so its radius decreases and by losing electrons it becomes positive ions.
