Which of the following substances heats the fastest?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Zinc

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity can be described as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degrees Celsius. It is represented by C or S. The greater the carrying capacity of a substance, the more will be the heat required for that substance.

As we can see in the information given in the question, the specific heat capacity of zinc is the lowest as compared to steel, water and aluminium. Hence, zinc is the correct option.

Do all substances absorb heat the same way?
miv72 [106K]

Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material. It keeps a fire going by spreading the heat through solid material. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.

Consider the reaction: CaCO3(s) à CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

131.5 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

First, we will calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°).

ΔH° = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g) ) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CaCO₃(s) )

ΔH° = 1 mol × (-634.9 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-1207.6 kJ/mol)

ΔH° = 179.2 kJ

Then, we calculate the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°).

ΔS° = 1 mol × S°(CaO(s)) + 1 mol × S°(CO₂(g) ) - 1 mol × S°(CaCO₃(s) )

ΔS° = 1 mol × (38.1 J/mol.K) + 1 mol × (213.8 J/mol.K) - 1 mol × (91.7 J/mol.K)

ΔS° = 160.2 J/K = 0.1602 kJ/K

Finally, we calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction at T = 25°C = 298 K.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T × ΔS°

ΔG° = 179.2 kJ - 298 K × 0.1602 kJ/K

ΔG° = 131.5 kJ

Which of the following describes a covalent bond?
BaLLatris [955]

I think it is C, because a covalent bond is a distribution of 2 atoms to 1 electron, meaning they are sharing and not exchanging, and the electronegravity would be above 1.7

Question 1 (1 point)
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

Thermal energy (heat) can be transferred between objects as long as there is a temperature difference between them. However, there needs to be some kind of medium transferring it. There are basically three ways in which the energy is transferred:

1. Conduction - transfer via the direct contact  

2. Convection - transfer via the circular movement of fluids or air caused by hotter layers moving upward and colder downwards.

3. Radiation - transfer via the waves from the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation ( ultra-violet, infra-red...)

Frequency is not a type of energy transfer, but a number of times something is occurring in one second. When we say that the frequency is 200Hz it means that something is happening at a rate of 200 times in a second. It's most often used in describing oscillations.
