Answer

The four steps of the scientific method are:

1) Observation and description of a natural phenomenon of group of phenomena;

2) Formulation of a hypothesis to explain the phenomena;

3) Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations, i.e to test the hypothesis if the hypothesis is true, find more evidence or find counter-evidence, if the hypothesis is false, create a new hypothesis or try again; and

4) Draw conclusions and repeat –the scientific method is never-ending, and no result is ever considered perfect.

Suppose a substance has a heat of fusion equal to 45 calg and a specific heat of 0.75

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The substance will be in liquid state at a temperature of 97.3 °C

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below :

Suppose a substance has a heat of fusion equal to 45 cal/g and a specific heat of 0.75 cal/g°C in the liquid state. If 5.0 kcal of heat are applied to a 50 g sample of the substance at a temperature of 24°C, what will its new temperate be? What state will the sample be in? (melting point of the substance = 27°C; specific heat of the solid =0.48 cal/g°C; boiling point of the substance = 700°C)

Explanation:

1.a) Heat energy required to raise the temperature of the substance to its melting point, H = mcΔT

Mass of solid sample = 50 g; specific heat of solid = 0.75 cal/g; ΔT = 27 - 24 = 3 °C

H = 50 × 0.75 × 3 = 112.5 calories

b) Heat energy required to convert the solid to liquid at its melting point at 27°C, H = m×l, where l = 45 cal/g

H = 50 × 45 = 2250 cal

c) Total energy used so far = 112.5 cal + 2250 cal = 2362.5 calories.

Amount of energy left = 5000 - 2362.5 = 2637.5 cal

The remaining energy is used to heat the liquid

H = mcΔT

Where specific heat of the liquid, c = 0.75 cal/g/°C, H = 2637.5 cal, ΔT = temperature change

2637.5 = 50 × 0.75 x ΔT

ΔT = 2637.5 / ( 50*0.75)

ΔT = 70.3 °C

Final temperature of sample = (70.3 + 27) °C = 97.3 °C

The substance will be in liquid state at a temperature of 97.3 °C

Compound a reacts with one equivalent of h2 in the presence of a catalyst to give methylcyclohexane. Compound a can be formed up

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The compound a is 1-methyl cyclohexene (see attachment for structure).

Explanation:

The reaction of 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane with sodium methoxide is a second-order reaction since the methoxide ion is a strong base and also a strong nucleophile. This ion attacks the alkyl halide faster than the alkyl halide can ionize to produce a first-order reaction. However, we can not see the product of nucleophilic substitution. The SN₂ mechanism is blocked due to the impediment of the 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane. The main product, according to the Zaitsev rule, is the 1-methyl cyclohexene, thus forming a double bond.

Then, this cyclohexene is hydrogenated to form the cyclohexane.

5. Geothermal energy

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth's surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be harnessed to generate clean electricity.
