The mass of the piece of wood is 35.58 g.

Joule = M × T × C

Where, M = mass

T = change in temperature(42C-23C=19 C)

C = specific heat capacity = 1.716 joules/gram

Substituting the values in the equation,

1160 = M × 19 × 1.716

M = 1160/32.604 = 35.58 g

Therefore, the mass of the piece of wood = 35.58 g

<h3>What is meant by specific heat capacity?</h3>

A material's specific heat capacity, which is defined as its heat capacity divided by its mass, determines how much energy is required to increase a gram's temperature by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body.

You have 8 moles of a gas at 250 K in a 6 L container. What is the pressure of the gas? Show your work
Bogdan [553]

Hello:

In this case, we will use the Clapeyron equation:

P = ?

n = 8 moles

T = 250 K

R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K

V = 6 L

Therefore:

P * V = n *  R * T

P * 6 = 8 * 0.082* 250

P* 6 = 164

P = 164 / 6

P = 27.33 atm


Hope that helps!
