Answer: 0.24cal/g^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed= 569 calories

m= mass of substance = 155 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature = T_i = 25.0°C

Final temperature = T_f  = 40.0°C

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(40-25)^0C=15^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

569=155\times c\times 15^0C

c=0.24cal/g^0C

The specific heat of the substance is 0.24cal/g^0C

Energy= 2381 joules
heat= Mass(kg) *change in temperature(K) * Cp
2381=0.155*(15)*Cp
Cp=1024 J/kg K

If a reaction produces 1.506 kJ of heat, which is trapped in 30.0 g of water initially at 26.5 C on a clorimetr liake hat in Fig
Dvinal [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of water is 38.5°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed = 1.506 kJ = 1506 J   (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

m = mass of water = 30 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 Jl/g.°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=T_2-26.5^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1506J=30g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times (T_2-26.5^oC)\\\\T_2=38.5^oC

Hence, the final temperature of water is 38.5°C

C28H36O18 would be classified as what? How do you know this? M
sveta [45]

Answer:

It is an saturated compound since there are no c-c double or tripple bonds.

Explanation:

If we had such double or tripple bonds the remaining o &H atoms cannot be accommodated to the carbon chain.

the carbon skeleton has (26×2)+6=58 valence electrons

O occupies 2 for each

18×2= 36

,58-36=22

only 22H can be directly bonded to the carbon skeleton.

remaining H= 14

therefore 7carbonyl carbon atoms will have to turn into carbinol carbon atoms .

so no space for c-c double bonds

Determine whether each of the descriptions of matter describes:
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a heterogeneous mixture,-two substances present; two phases present

a homogeneous mixture- two substances present; one phase present

a pure substance- one substance present- one phase present

no correct response-one substance present; two phases present

Explanation:

When two substances are mixed, the mixture may be homogenous or heterogeneous. If a mixture is homogenous, then the two substances form a single phase, e.g ethanol and water.

On the other hand, a heterogeneous mixture is divided into two distinct phases, e.g kerosene and water mixture.

A single substance can only give one phase, no substance can simultaneously give two phases of the same substance in the same physical state.

Similarly, a pure substance always consists of a single phase.
