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.

Most Bic lighters hold 5.0ml of liquified butane (density = 0.60 g/ml). Calculate the minimum size container you would need to "
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Volume of container = 0.0012 m³ or 1.2 L or 1200 ml

Explanation:

Volume of butane = 5.0 ml

density = 0.60 g/ml

Room temperature (T) = 293.15 K

Normal pressure (P) = 1 atm = 101,325 pa

Ideal gas constant (R) = 8.3145 J/mole.K)

volume of container V = ?

Solution

To find out the volume of container we use ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature

First we find out number of moles

<em>As Mass = density × volume</em>

mass of butane = 0.60 g/ml ×5.0 ml

mass of butane = 3 g

now find out number of moles (n)

n = mass / molar mass

n = 3 g / 58.12 g/mol

n = 0.05 mol

Now put all values in ideal gas equation

<em>PV = nRt</em>

<em>V = nRT/P</em>

V = (0.05 mol × 8.3145 J/mol.K × 293.15 K) ÷ 101,325 pa

V = 121.87 ÷ 101,325 pa

V = 0.0012 m³ OR 1.2 L OR 1200 ml
