<u>Given</u> :

  • Amount = 20 kg
  • Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
  • Temperature change = 15 °C

<u>Formula applied</u> :

\boxed {Q = mc \triangle T}

  • Q = absorbed heat
  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity
  • ΔT = temperature change

Let's solve for c !

⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15

⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300

⇒ \boxed {c = 790 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}}

∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is <u>790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹</u>.

1. a. FeS + 2HCl --> FeCl2 + H2S
    b. This is a double- replacement reaction. (The elements "switch partners".)

2. a.2Na + F2 --> 2NaF
    b. This is a composition/synthesis reaction. (The two reactants are combining or synthesizing to make one product.)

3. a. 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2
    b. This is a decomposition reaction. (The single reactant is breaking down or "decomposing" into multiple reactants.)

4. Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to create water in a composition/synthesis reaction.

I hope these answers will help you! If you need any explanation, ask and hopefully I can get back to you. ;)

Which law represents a balanced chemical equation?​
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

All chemical equations goes to the law of conservation of mass which says that matter can not be destroyed nor created which means there has to be an equal amount of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. I hope that helps, I'm learning this as well.

Which type of seismic waves produces the most severe ground movement?
Leto [7]
The surface waves are the type of seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movement. This wave is slow in nature and so produces a rolling effect similar to a surface wave in a pond. This kind of wave is far more devastating than the P waves and the S waves. The surface waves have the capacity to shake a building from side to side until it collapses. This kind of wave moves in a pattern similar to a circle. It actually originates at a point and then start moving outwards in a circle.

Describe in your own words, in terms of particle movement and energy, what occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point.
tino4ka555 [31]
<span>The atoms or molecules attain enough kinetic energy to overcome any intermolecular attractions they have. Since there are no longer any attractive forces between the particles, they are free to drift away into space. The same sort of thing happens in ordinary evaporation, but only at the surface. </span>
