Answer:

20.11 g.

Explanation:

What is given?

c (specific heat of iron) = 0.450 J/g °C.

Q (heat energy) = 179.85 J.

ΔT (change of temperature) = |31.42 °C - 51.29 °C| = 19.87 °C.

What do we need? Mass of iron (m)

Step-by-step solution:

Let's see the formula of specific heat:

c=\frac{Q}{m\cdot\Delta T}

Where c is specific heat, Q is heat energy, m is mass and ΔT is the change of temperature.

We just have to solve for 'm' to find the mass of iron and replace the given data that we have, like this:

m=\frac{Q}{c\cdot\Delta T}=\frac{179.85\text{ J}}{0.450\text{ }\frac{J}{g\cdot\degree C}\cdot19.87\degree C}=20.11\text{ g.}

The mass of the iron would be 20.11 g.

A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad
Umnica [9.8K]

We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

What is the energy required to change a spherical drop of water to five smaller spherical drops of equal size? At room temperatu
pav-90 [236]
T<span>his is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. </span>

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

Hi:) anyone able to explain the last column? Thanks !!
RUDIKE [14]

I'll try to explain this in the simplest way I've learned it.

What the last column basically meant was that if the second word of the compound has a negative ion charge

and contains oxygen it will give the the compound a name ending with -ate
