Chemistry
1 answer:
denpristay [2]1 year ago
5 0

Fluorite is harder than gypsum but softer than apatite. Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is the hardness of any element?</h3>

The hardness of any element may be defined as the capability of a material to oppose the process of deformation and remains in actual shape precisely.  

According to the table of hardness scales by Mohs, the increasing order of given hardness of given elements is as follows:

Gypsum < Fluorite < Apatite.

Therefore, Fluorite is harder than gypsum but softer than apatite. Thus, the correct option is B.

Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminum if 14,200 J of heat is released in cooling a 350.0
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

                     Specific Heat Capacity  =  0.901 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

                     Heat is Exothermic

Explanation:

                     Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given amount of substance by one degree.

Also, Exothermic reactions are those reaction in which the heat is lost from the system to surrounding while, endothermic reactions are those in which the system gains heat from the surroundings.

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

                                                 Q  =  m Cp ΔT   ----- (1)

Where;

           Q  =  Heat  =  14200 J

           m  =  mass  =  350 g

           Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  ??

           ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  70 °C  -  25 °C  =  45 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

                                Cp  =  Q / m ΔT

Putting values,

                                Cp  =  14200 J / (350 g × 45 °C)

                                Cp  =  0.901 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

As the heat is lost by the metal therefore, the heat is exothermic.

You start with 1 L of CO2 at standard temperature and pressure in a closed container. If you raise the temperature of the gas, t
pychu [463]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

If the initial temperature and pressure is standard,

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

then we increase the temperature to 400.0 K, The pressure will be,

1 atm / 273.15 K = P₂/400.0K

P₂ = 1 atm × 400.0 K / 273.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 atm. K /273.15 K

P₂ = 1.46 atm

Pressure is also increase from 1 atm to 1.46 atm.
