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.

You are burning wood to heat water for your industrial process. What is the mass of wood required to raise the temperature of 10

natta225 [31]

Answer:

18,8kg of wood

Explanation:

The energy you need to to raise the temperature of 1000 kg of water from 25.0 to 100.0 °C is:

q = C×m×ΔT

Where: q is heat, C is specific heat of water (4,184J/g°C), m is mass in grams (1000x10³g), and ΔT is 100,0°C - 25,0°C = 75,0°C

Replacing:

q = 4,184J/g°C×1000x10³g×75,0°C

<u><em>q = 3,14x10⁸ J of heat are required</em></u>

Now, if the heating value of dry wood is 16,72 MJ/kg = 16,72x10⁶ J/kg, mass of wood required is:

3,14x10⁸J × (1kg / 16,72x10⁶ J) = <em>18,8 kg of wood are required</em>

I hope it helps!

Why is the air in a jet aircraft flying at high altitudes pressurized? *

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Explanation:

-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.

-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath a condition called hypoxia.

-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.
