The chemical equation for this combustion reaction is:
<span>C8H18 + O2
--> CO2 + H2O</span>
Balancing by adding whole number coefficients:
<span>2 C8H18 + 25
O2 --> 16 CO2
+ 18 H2O</span>
Including the phases:
<span>2 C8H18 (l) + 25 O2
(g) --> 16 CO2 (g) + 18 H2O (l)</span>
<span>where g is gas and l is liquid</span>
Answer:
D) The amount of heat a substance can hold.
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
The substances with higher value of specific heat capacity require more heat to raise the temperature by one degree as compared the substances having low value of specific heat capacity.
For example,
The specific heat capacity of oil is 1.57 j/g. K and for water is 4.18 j/g.K. So, water take a time to increase its temperature by one degree by absorbing more heat while oil will heat up faster by absorbing less amount of heat.
The biological risk for the first person than the second as a result of radiation weighting is 10 times.
<h3>
What is radiation weighting factor?</h3>
As stated in the question, radiation weighting factor (q) is the ability to transfer energy to the body.
If radiation factor of proton = 2, and radiation factor of alpha particles = 20.
- First person is exposed to alpha radiation = 20
- Second person is exposed to protons = 2
Risk of first person with respect to second person = 20/2 = 10 times higher
