What are the units used to measure specific heat capacity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrews [41]2 years ago
7 0

The units used to measure specific heat capacity is Joules per kilogram per Kelvin.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

It is the amount of heat absorbed per kilogram of material when the temperature rises by 1 Kelvin.

Specific heat capacity C is the Joules of energy in form of heat per kilogram per Kelvin temperature. The units represented by

C = ___ J/kg.K

Thus, the units used to measure specific heat capacity is Joules per kilogram per Kelvin.

What makes slime, slime?
Naya [18.7K]
Slime flows like a liquid, but unlike familiar liquids (e.g., oil, water), its ability to flow, or viscosity, is not constant. So it's a fluid, but not a regular liquid. Scientists call a material that changes viscosity a non-Newtonian fluid. The technical explanation is that slime is a fluid that changes its ability to resist deformation according to shear or tensile stress.

What this means is, when you pour slime or let it ooze through your fingers, it has a low viscosity and flows like a thick liquid. When you squeeze a non-Newtonian slime, like oobleck, or pound it with your fist, it feels hard, like a wet solid. This is because applying stress squeezes the particles in the slime together, making it hard for them to slide against each other.

Most types of slime are also examples of polymers. Polymers are molecules made by linking together chains of subunits.


The specifics of how a type of slime works depends on its chemical composition, but the basic explanation is that chemicals are mixed to form polymers. The polymers act as a net, with molecules sliding against each other.


Two solutions are combined to make classic slime. One is diluted school glue, or polyvinyl alcohol in water. The other solution is borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O) in water.
Borax dissolves in water into sodium ions, Na+, and tetraborate ions.
The tetraborate ions react with water to produce the OH- ion and boric acid:
B4O72-(aq) + 7 H2O <—> 4 H3BO3(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
Boric acid reacts with water to form borate ions:
H3BO3(aq) + 2 H2O <— > B(OH)4-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Hydrogen bonds form between the borate ion and the OH groups of the polyvinyl alcohol molecules from the glue, linking them together to form a new polymer: slime.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Q = 3937.56  J

Explanation:

Heat transferred due to change in temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is the specific heat of water, c=4.18 J/g-°C

We have, m = 15 g, T_i=100^{\circ} C\ \text{and}\ T_f=37.2^{\circ} C

So,

Q=15\times 4.18\times (37.2-100)\\Q=-3937.56\ J

Hence, 3937.56  J of heat is transferred.
