Convert the answer from #7 to kg. Use the correct significant figures.

The metric standard for measuring of energy defined by the International System of Units is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of a newton in a displacement of one meter in the direction of force. So,

1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg·m²/s²

Calorie is also frequently used in scientific and technological applications. Calorie is a unit of thermal energy that is equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

1 cal = 4,184 J

2. Which unit is used for specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity (c) is a physical quantity that is defined as the amount of heat (q) that must be supplied to the mass unit of a thermodynamic substance or system to raise its temperature by one unit. So,

c = q / m ΔT

where m is the mass of the substance and ΔT is the temperature increase.

In this way, as heat is a form of energy, the International System of Units expresses the specific heat in joules per kilogram and per kelvin (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). Another common unit, not belonging to the SI, is the calorie per gram and per degree centigrade (cal g⁻¹ ° C⁻¹).

3. If you wanted to compare the abilities of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use?

You should use units of specific heat capacity (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) since, as mentioned above, this is a physical quantity that measures the amount of heat that must be supplied to an specific mass of a substance or system to raise its temperature.

Heat is a thermal energy, so by using heat capacity units you can compare the ability of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy by varying its temperature.

The density of solid ni is 8.90 g/cm3. how many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of ni

bulgar [2K]

Density gives mass of object per volume...... Here, density is given 8.90 g/cm3 therefore, per cubic centimeter contains 8.90 g Ni. mole of Ni = mass / atomic mass = 8.90 / 58.6934 = 0.1516 mole number of atoms: mole * 6.022 * 10^23 = 0.1516 * 6.022 * 10^23 = 0.9129 * 10^23 = 0.9 * 10^23 (approx.)

Without doing any calculations, match the following thermodynamic properties with their appropriate numerical sign for the follo

siniylev [52]

Answer:

∆H > 0

∆Srxn <0

∆G >0

∆Suniverse <0

Explanation:

We are informed that the reaction is endothermic. An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed hence ∆H is positive at all temperatures.

Similarly, absorption of energy leads to a decrease in entropy of the reaction system. Hence the change in entropy of the reaction ∆Sreaction is negative at all temperatures.

The change in free energy for the reaction is positive at all temperatures since ∆S reaction is negative then from ∆G= ∆H - T∆S, we see that given the positive value of ∆H, ∆G must always return a positive value at all temperatures.

Since entropy of the surrounding= - ∆H/T, given that ∆H is positive, ∆S surrounding will be negative at all temperatures. This is so because an endothermic reaction causes the surrounding to cool down.
