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

Consider three gases: Ar, SF6, and Cl2. If 50.0 grams of these gases are placed in each of three identical containers, which con
adoni [48]
The ideal gas law:
pV=nRT \Rightarrow p=\frac{nRT}{V}
p - pressure, n - number of moles, R - the gas constant, T - temperature, V - volume

The volume and temperature of all three containers are the same, so the pressure depends on the number of moles. The greater the number of moles, the higher the pressure.
The mass of gases is 50 g.

Ar \\&#10;M \approx 39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\&#10;n=\frac{50 \ g}{39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx  1.25 \ mol \\ \\&#10;SF_6 \\&#10;M \approx 146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\&#10;n=\frac{50 \ g}{146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.34 \ mol \\ \\&#10;Cl_2 \\&#10;M=70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\&#10;n=\frac{50 \ g}{70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.71 \ mol

The greatest number of moles is in the container with Ar, so there is the highest pressure.

Imagine that you have a metal bar sitting half in the sun and half in the dark. On a sunny day, the part of the metal that has b
babunello [35]

Answer:

It will feel hot.

Explanation:

The part of the metal that has been sitting in the sun will heat up, and because metal is a good conductor,<em> the part sitting in the sun will heat up the part sitting in the dark</em>.

We say metal is a good conductor because it has<em> high thermal conductivity</em>, which mean heat will flow from the hot section of the bar to the cold section of the bat.

Temka [501]
The independent variable would be the amount of sunlight because that is what you are testing and the dependent variable would be the length of time the mice slept because it is what you are measuring. The constants would be everything else water, food, cage size, exercise wheel, and temperature because they stay the same.
