Why is it important to know what temperature scale is being used in a given situation?

Chemistry

It depends, for example, it is quite important to know the Kelvin scale (i.e 0 degrees Celsius is 273 K and -273 degrees Celsius is 0 K ) when dealing gases. But I don't know other situations where you would need to know other temperature scales.

Hope this helps and also if you are using Fahrenheit 1 Fahrenheit is -17.22 degrees Celsius

A sample of copper absorbs 4.31E+1 kJ of heat, resulting in a temperature rise of 6.71E+1 °C. Determine the mass (in kg) of the
olga2289 [7]

Answer: 1.67 kg

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=4.31\times 10^1kJ = 43100J   (1kJ=1000J)

m= mass of substance = ?

c = specific heat capacity = 0.385J/g^0C

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=6.71\times 10^1^0C=67.1^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

43100J=m\times 0.385J/g^0C\times 67.1^0C

m=1670g=1.67kg   (1kg=1000g)

Thus the mass (in kg) of the copper sample is 1.67

Question 25———-A, YA are two isotopes of element A.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Option C. 1

Explanation:

Step 1:

Determination of the Neutron of both isotopes. This is illustrated below.

For isotope y xA:

Mass number = y

Atomic number = x

Neutron =..?

Atomic number = proton number = x

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

y = x + Neutron

Rearrange

Neutron = y – x

For isotope (y + 1) xA:

Mass number = y + 1

Atomic number = x

Neutron =.?

Atomic number = proton number = x

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

y + 1 = x + Neutron

Rearrange

Neutron = y + 1 – x

Step 2:

Determination of the difference between the neutron number of both isotopes. This is illustrated below:

For isotope y xA:

Neutron number = y – x

For isotope (y + 1) xA:

Neutron number = y + 1 – x

Difference in neutron number

=> (y + 1 – x) – (y – x)

=> y + 1 – x – y + x

Rearrange

=> y – y + 1 – x + x

=> 1

Therefore, the difference in the neutron number of both isotopes is 1

Assign each species to the expression that most accurately describes the basic units of that substance. categories: single atoms
Temka [501]
Atoms are the smallest form of the substance. examples of atoms are in elemental forms such as copper, helium, silver. Diatomic molecules are made up of identical atoms. Examples are I2.. F2 and Br2. Formula units are those compounds that are made up of two or more elements such as -No2, KMnO4,<span>C3H8, MgCl2, HgBr2, Ba(OH)2</span>
