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)

The solubility of nitrogen gas at 25 degrees C and 1 atm is 6.8 x 10^(-4) mol/L. If the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air
Zolol [24]

Answer:

5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.

Explanation:

  • The relationship between gas pressure and the  concentration of dissolved gas is given by  Henry’s law:

<em>P = kC</em>

where P is the partial pressure of the gaseous  solute above the solution.

k is a constant (Henry’s constant).

C is the concentration of the dissolved gas.

  • At two different pressures, there is two different concentrations of dissolved gases and is expressed in a relation as:

<em>P₁C₂ = P₂C₁,</em>

P₁ = 1.0 atm, C₁ = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

P₂ = 0.76 atm, C₂ = ??? mol/L.

<em>∴ C₂ = (P₂C₁)/P₁ =</em> (0.76 atm)(6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L)/(1.0 atm) = <em>5.168 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L ≅ 5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.</em>

A student dissolved 1.805g of a monoacidic weak base in 55mL of water. Calculate the equilibrium pH for the weak monoacidic base
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

11.39

Explanation:

Given that:

pK_{b}=4.82

K_{b}=10^{-4.82}=1.5136\times 10^{-5}

Given that:

Mass = 1.805 g

Molar mass = 82.0343 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

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

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.805\ g}{82.0343\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.022\ moles

Given Volume = 55 mL = 0.055 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity=\frac{0.022}{0.055}

Concentration = 0.4 M

Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of the base as:

                                  B +   H₂O    ⇄     BH⁺ +        OH⁻

At t=0                        0.4                          -              -

At t =equilibrium     (0.4-x)                        x           x            

The expression for dissociation constant is:

K_{b}=\frac {\left [ BH^{+} \right ]\left [ {OH}^- \right ]}{[B]}

1.5136\times 10^{-5}=\frac {x^2}{0.4-x}

x is very small, so (0.4 - x) ≅ 0.4

Solving for x, we get:

x = 2.4606×10⁻³  M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(2.4606×10⁻³) = 2.61

<u>pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.61 = 11.39</u>
