Which of the following (with specific heat capacity provided) would show the smallest temperature change upon gaining 200.0 J of
Brut [27]

<u>Answer:</u> The smallest temperature change is shown by water.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

q=mC\times \Delta T      ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed = 200.0 J

m = mass of the substance

C = specific heat of substance

\Delta T = change in temperature

As, the same amount of heat is getting absorbed in all the cases. So, the change in temperature will depend on the product of mass and specific heat.

For the given options:

  • <u>Option a:</u>  50.0 g Fe, C_{Fe}=0.449J/g^oC

We are given:

m=50.0g\\C_{Fe}=0.449J/g^oC

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

200.0J=50.0g\times 0.449J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{50\times 0.449}=8.99^oC

Change in temperature = 8.99°C

  • <u>Option b:</u>  50.0 g water, C_{water}=4.18J/g^oC

We are given:

m=50.0g\\C_{water}=4.18J/g^oC

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

200.0J=50.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{50\times 4.18}=0.96^oC

Change in temperature = 0.96°C

  • <u>Option b:</u>  25.0 g Pb, C_{Pb}=0.128J/g^oC

We are given:

m=50.0g\\C_{Pb}=0.128J/g^oC

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

200.0J=25.0g\times 0.128J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{25\times 0.128}=62.5^oC

Change in temperature = 62.5°C

  • <u>Option d:</u>  25.0 g Ag, C_{Ag}=0.235J/g^oC

We are given:

m=25.0g\\C_{Ag}=0.235J/g^oC

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

200.0J=25.0g\times 0.235J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{25\times 0.235}=34.04^oC

Change in temperature = 34.04°C

  • <u>Option e:</u>  25.0 g granite, C_{granite}=0.79J/g^oC

We are given:

m=25.0g\\C_{Fe}=0.79J/g^oC

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

200.0J=25.0g\times 0.79J/g^oC\times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T=\frac{200}{25\times 0.79}=10.13^oC

Change in temperature = 10.13°C

Hence, the smallest temperature change is shown by water.

Since helium is lighter than air, it is difficult to measure the mass of a sample, so to find out the mass of helium in a birthd
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

0.7457 g is the mass of the helium gas.

Explanation:

Given:  

Pressure = 3.04 atm

Temperature = 25.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

Volume = 1.50 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

3.04 atm × 1.50 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K  

<u>⇒n = 0.1863 moles</u>

Molar mass of helium = 4.0026 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.1863\ mole= \frac{Mass}{4.0026\ g/mol}

Mass_{He}= 0.7457\ g

<u>0.7457 g is the mass of the helium gas. </u>

<h3> <u>ANSWER</u> </h3>

4. O²-

<h3><u>EXPLANATION</u> </h3>

O²- has 16 electrons while Ne has 18 electrons. O²- is a molecule that has one electron added to each atom, meaning that there are two extra electrons which makes O²- the same electron configuration as of Ne atom.

Give the major force between ethanol and water. dipole-dipole dispersion hydrogen bonding ion-ion ion-dipole
Komok [63]

Answer:

HYDROGEN BONDING

Explanation:HYDROGEN BONDING is the major intermolecular force and interaction taking place when water and ethanol are mixed.

Hydrogen bond is a weak inter-molecular force of attraction which occurs when the partially charged Negative end of an oxygen atom from one oxygen molecule attracts and interacts with the partially charged Positive end of the Hydrogen atom in another Molecule, Hydrogen bonds are also known as dipole-dipole bonds.
