A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.158 kg. If 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32.0°C to 6

1.0°C, what is the specific heat of the substance?

Specific heat capacity is the required amount of heat per unit of mass in order to raise teh temperature by one degree Celsius. It can be calculated from this equation: H = mCΔT where the H is heat required, m is mass of the substance, ΔT is the change in temperature, and C is the specific heat capacity.

H = m<span>CΔT
2501.0 = 0.158 (C) (61.0 - 32.0)

C = 545.8 J/kg</span>·°C

The Earth's moon is unusually large. Two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which stat
Verizon [17]

Answer: D. They show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Explanation:

Theory is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon (the existence of the moon in this case) and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

In this sense, there are many theories about the Earth's moon formation and two of the "accepted" theories are described before the question. In addition, both theories explain in a certain way the reason why the Moon is predominantly composed of elements similar to those found on Earth.

However, both theories seem to be incomplete when trying to explain our Moon's origin.

The standard internal energy change for a reaction can be symbolized as Δ U ∘ rxn or Δ E ∘ rxn . For each reaction equation, cal
rosijanka [135]

Answer : The internal energy change is, -506.3 kJ/mol

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta H=\Delta U+\Delta n_gRT

or,

\Delta U=\Delta H-\Delta n_gRT

where,

\Delta H = change in enthalpy = -511.3kJ/mol=-511300.0J/mol

\Delta U = change in internal energy = ?

\Delta n_g = change in moles

Change in moles = Number of moles of product side - Number of moles of reactant side

According to the reaction:

Change in moles = 0 - 2 = -2 mole

That means, value of \Delta n_gRT = 0

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

\Delta U=\Delta H-\Delta n_gRT

\Delta U=(-511300.0J/mol)-[-2mol\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 298K

\Delta U=-511300.0J/mol+4955.144J/mol

\Delta U=-506344.856J/mol=-506.3kJ/mol

Therefore, the internal energy change is -506.3 kJ/mol

How many atoms of ca are present in 8.6 mg? the atomic weight of ca is 40.08 amu?
Elina [12.6K]
One mole of any element is Avogadro's number, which is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms. One mole of Calcium is equal to its atomic weight in grams, 1 mole Ca = 40.08 x 1000 mg = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms. We have 8.6mg of Ca which means 8.6mg / 40,080mg = .00021457 of a mole of calcium. Now multiply that by Avogadro's number which gives number of atoms = 0.00021457 * 6.02 * 10^23 atoms. So the answer is 1.292 * 10^20 atoms of Ca.
