What is the specific heat of a substance if 1560 cal are required to raise the temperature of a 312-g sample by 15°C?

1 answer:

8 0

The specific heat capacity the substance is calculated using the below formula

Q(heat) = Mc delta T
Q =1560 cal
m(mass) 312 g
delta T (change in temperature ) = 15 c
C= specific heat capacity=?

by making c the subject of the formula
c=Q/m delta T
= 1560 cal/ 312g x 15 c = 0.33 cal/g/c (answer B)

Which conversion factor correctly shows the relationship between moles and representative particles?

strojnjashka [21]

This is given by Avogagro number: 1 mol = 6.02*10^23 particles

Then you can do whichever to these two relations, because they are equivalent:

- 1mol / 6.02*10^23 representative particles, and
- 6.02*10^23 representative particle /1 mol

Only the second option of the question includes one of the valid conversion factors. Then, the conversion factor of the second option is the right answer

What is the formula of this inorganic salt hydrate?

barxatty [35]

Salt hydrates are an important class of PCMs. An inorganic salt hydrate (hydrated salt or hydrate) is an ionic compound in which the ions attract a number of water molecules, which are then trapped inside the crystal lattice. A hydrated salt has the generic formula MxNy. nH2O.

Calculate the heat absorbed by a sample of water that has a mass of 45.00 g when the temperature increases from 21.0oC to 38.5 o

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous). Its mathematical expression is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

Q=?
m= 45 g
c= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$
ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 38.5 C - 21 C= 17.5 C

Replacing:

Q= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$ * 45 g* 17.5 C

Solving:

Q=3,294.9 J

The heat absorbed by the sample of water is 3,294.9 J
