Reasons why water is a good cooling agent in machines​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]1 year ago
4 0

Answer:

one reason is, Water is a very good liquid for cooling things down, for one thing there is plenty of it and it has also got a high specific heat capacity. This means that it can absorb a large amount of heat energy without getting too hot.


will not heat up or cool down very fast

Water has a high value of latent heat of vapourization so it has cooling properties.
hope this helps you. :)

Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.ClCH2COOHClCH2CH2COOHCH3CH2COOHCl2CHCOOHIn order of highest pka to lowes
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

Explanation:

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.

Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.

  • The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
  • The more substituents, the greater the effect.  
  • The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.

CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH —  EDG —                         weakest —  pKₐ = 4.82

      CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference —                                     pKₐ = 4.75

  ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger —     pKₐ = 4.00

           ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest —  pKₐ = 2.87

Be sure to answer all parts. Calculate the pH of the following two buffer solutions: (a) 1.4 M CH3COONa/1.6 M CH3COOH. (b) 0.1 M
aalyn [17]

Answer:

a) pH = 4.68 (more effective)

b) pH =4.44.

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is obtained by Henderson Hassalbalch's equation.

The equation is:

pH =pKa +log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

a) pKa of acetic acid = 4.74

[salt] = [CH₃COONa] = 1.4 M

[acid] = [CH₃COOH] = 1.6 M

pH = 4.74 + log \frac{1.4}{1.6}= 4.68

This is more effective as there is very less difference in the concentration of salt and acid.

b) pKa of acetic acid = 4.74

[salt] = [CH₃COONa] = 0.1 M

[acid] = [CH₃COOH] = 0.2 M

pH = 4.74 + log \frac{0.1}{0.2}= 4.44

Answer:

Temporary hardness is a type of water hardness caused by the presence of dissolved bicarbonate minerals (calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate). ... However, unlike the permanent hardness caused by sulfate and chloride compounds, this "temporary" hardness can be reduced by boiling the water.

The average atomic weight of copper, which has two naturally occurring isotopes, is 63.5. One of the isotopes has an atomic weig
Darya [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic weight of the second isotope is 64.81 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of atomic masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i     .....(1)

We are given:

Let the mass of isotope 2 be 'x'

Mass of isotope 1 = 62.9 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 69.1 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.691

Mass of isotope 2 = 'x'

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 30.9%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.309

Average atomic mass of copper = 63.5 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of copper}=[(62.9\times 0.691)+(x\times 0.309)]

x=64.81amu

Hence, the atomic weight of second isotope will be 64.81 amu.
