Compare the temperature change for cold sand and cold water when the same amount of hot water was added. what do you discover?

1 answer:

6 0

When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

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

Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of a substance by 1 kelvin.

<h3>Specific heat capacity of water and sand</h3>

Water, c = 4,200 J/kg⁰C

Sand, c = 830 J/kg⁰C

Q = mcΔθ

where;

Δθ is temperature change
Q is quantity of heat added

Δθ = Q/mc

Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{9.780 \times 10^{4}\text{ u}}$

Explanation:

The molecular mass of a monomer unit is:

C₂H₃Cl = 2×12.01 + 3×1.008 + 35.45 = 24.02 + 3.024 + 35.45 = 62.494 u

For 1565 units,

$\text{Molecular mass} = \text{1565 units} \times \dfrac{\text{62.494 u}}{\text{1 unit }} = \mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}\\\\\text{The molecular mass of the chain is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}}$}$

A solution made by dissolving 33 mg of insulin in 6.5 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 15.5 mmHg at 25°C. Calculate the mo

Liula [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 15.5 mmHg

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (insulin) = 33 mg = 0.033 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 6.5 mL

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$15.5mmHg=1\times \frac{0.033\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 6.5}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of insulin}=\frac{1\times 0.033\times 1000\times 62.364\times 298}{15.5\times 6.5}=6087.2g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

Find the number of ibuprofen molecules in a tablet containing 200.0 mg of ibuprofen (c13h18o2). express the amount to four signi

Musya8 [376]

First let us calculate for the molar mass of ibuprofen:

Molar mass = 13 * 12 g/mol + 18 * 1 g/mol + 2 * 16 g/mol

Molar mass = 206 g/mol = 206 mg / mmol

Calculating for the number of moles:

moles = 200 mg / (206 mg / mmol)

moles = 0.971 mmol = 9.71 x 10^-4 moles

Using the Avogadros number, we calculate the number of molecules of ibuprofen:

Molecules = 9.71 x 10^-4 moles * (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / moles)

<span>Molecules = 5.85 x 10^20 molecules</span>

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the process that is used to determine the amount of heat that has been transferred in any process. In any chemical or physical process, the amount of energy is required. This energy is measured by the process of calorimetry. A calorimeter is a device that is used in this process. The heat that has been used in the process is measured and the change in the temperature is noted.
