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.

A sample of C3H8 has 3.28 × 1024 H atoms. How many carbon atoms does the sample contain? What is the total mass of the sample in
sammy [17]
To find the number of carbon atoms, we <span>multiply </span>the 3.28x10^24 by the ratio, 3/8. The total number of carbon atoms is 1.23 x 10^24 atoms. The total mass of the sample is each number of atoms divided by avogadro's number and multiplied by the molar mass of each. The total mass is 29.96 grams.

A piece of iron metal is heated to 155 degrees C and placed into a calorimeter that contains 50.0 mL of water at 18.7 degrees C.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D = 28.2g

Explanation:

Initial temperature of metal (T1) = 155°C

Initial Temperature of calorimeter (T2) = 18.7°C

Final temperature of solution (T3) = 26.4°C

Specific heat capacity of water (C2) = 4.184J/g°C

Specific heat capacity of metal (C1) = 0.444J/g°C

Volume of water = 50.0mL

Assuming no heat loss

Heat energy lost by metal = heat energy gain by water + calorimeter

Heat energy (Q) = MC∇T

M = mass

C = specific heat capacity

∇T = change in temperature

Mass of metal = M1

Mass of water = M2

Density = mass / volume

Mass = density * volume

Density of water = 1g/mL

Mass(M2) = 1 * 50

Mass = 50g

Heat loss by the metal = heat gain by water + calorimeter

M1C1(T1 - T3) = M2C2(T3 - T2)

M1 * 0.444 * (155 - 26.4) = 50 * 4.184 * (26.4 - 18.7)

0.444M1 * 128.6 = 209.2 * 7.7

57.0984M1 = 1610.84

M1 = 1610.84 / 57.0984

M1 = 28.21g

The mass of the metal is 28.21g
