A 200-gram liquid sample of Alcohol Y is prepared at -6°C. The sample is then added to 400 g of water at 20°C in a sealed styrof

oam container. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the temperature of the alcohol-water solution is 12°C. What is the specific heat capacity of the alcohol? Assume the sealed container is an isolated system. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.19 kJ/kg · °C. 3.14 kJ/kg \xe2\x88\x99 °C 4.14 kJ/kg \xe2\x88\x99 °C 3.72 kJ/kg \xe2\x88\x99 °C 4.88 kJ/kg \xe2\x88\x99 °C

The specific heat capacity of the alcohol will be 3.72  kJ/kg°C.

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

The amount of heat required to increase a substance's temperature by one degree Celsius is known as its "specific heat capacity."

Similarly, heat capacity is the relationship between the amount of energy delivered to a substance and the increase in temperature that results.

Given data;

Mass of liquid sample of Alcohol  m₁ = 200-gram

The temperature of alcohol, T₁ =  -6°C.

Mass of liquid sample of water  m₂ = 400-gram

The temperature of the water, T₂=  20°C.

The specific heat capacity of the alcohol, S₁=?

The specific heat capacity of water is, S₂=4.19 kJ/kg.°C

As we know that;

<h3 />

\rm Q_{gain}= Q{loss} \\\\ Q_{alcohol} =Q_{water} \\\\\ m_1s_1\triangle T_1 = m_2S_2 \triangle S_2 \\\\ 200 \times 10^{-3} \times S_1 [ (12-(-6) ] = 40 \times 10^{-3} \times 4.19 \times 10^{-3} \times (20-12)\\\\S_1 = 2 \times 4.19 \times 10^3 \times \frac {8}{18} \\\\ S_1 = 3.72  \ kJ /kg ^0 C

Hence the specific heat capacity of the alcohol will be 3.72  kJ/kg°C.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

359 m/s

Explanation:

Highest frequency a person can hear is 20,000Hz.

f = c × λ

Frequency = Wave speed × Wavelength

Wavelength = 20,000 ÷ 343 = 58.31m

Wavespeed = Frequency ÷ Wavelength

c = 20,950 ÷ 58.31 = 359.3 m/s

= 359 m/s (3 s.f.)

Why is gasoline so flammable
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Flammable and combustible liquids themselves do not burn. It is the mixture of their vapours and air that burns. Gasoline, with a flashpoint of -40°C (-40°F), is a flammable liquid. Even at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), it gives off enough vapour to form a burnable mixture in air.

he tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 47 N⋅m . You plan to tighten the plug
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

207.4 N

Explanation:

The torque \tau  on a body is

\tau = r* F  where r is the radius vector from the point of rotation to the point at which force F is applied.

The product of r and F is equal to the product of magnitude of r and F multiplied by the sine of angle between both vectors.

Therefore, torque is also given by

\tau = rF\sin \theta

Where \theta is the angle between r and F.

Use the expression of torque.

Substitute L for r in the equation \tau = rF\sin \theta

\tau = LF\sin \theta

Where L is the length of the wrench.

Making F the subject

F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}

Force required to pull the wrench is given as,

F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}

Substitute 47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}  for \tau, 25 cm for L, and 115o for \theta  

\begin{array}{c}\\F = \frac{{47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}}}{{\left( {25{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\sin {{115}^{\rm{o}}}}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}{{{{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{ m}}}}} \right)\\\\ = 207.435{\rm{ N}}\\\\ \approx 207.4{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequ
V125BC [204]

Answer:

55.8 m/s

Explanation:

f = Actual frequency of sound emitted by car

f' = frequency observed when the car moves = (0.86)f

V = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

v = Speed of car

Frequency observed is given as

f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}

(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\294.98 + (0.86) v = 343 \\v = 55.8 ms^{-1}
