Answer:

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.214 calorie /gram °C

Explanation:

Specific heat:The heat requires to increase 1°C temperature of that object per unit gram.

When the aluminum comes in contact of of water then

The heat lose by aluminum = The heat gain by the water.

Q₁=Q₂

Where,

Q = m ×s× ΔT

m= mass of an object

s= specific heat of the object

ΔT= change of temperature.

The mass of aluminum(m₁)= 28.4 gram,  

ΔT for aluminum=(initial temperature - final temperature)= (39.4-23)°C=16.4°C

s₁=?

The mass of water(m₂) = 50 gram

ΔT for water =( final temperature-initial temperature)=(23-21)°C= 2°C

S₂=1 calorie /gram °C

Q₁=Q₂

⇒m₁s₁ΔT=m₂s₂ΔT

⇒(28.4×s₁×16.4)= 50×1×2

\Rightarrow s_1 =\frac{50\times 2}{28.4\times 16.4}

\Rightarrow s_1= 0.214 calorie /gram °C

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.214 calorie /gram °C

A sample of argon gas has a volume of 795 mL at a pres-sure of 1.20 atm and a temperature of 116 ∘C. What is the final volume of
jek_recluse [69]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume when the pressure and temperature has changed is 1.6\times 10^2mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

Let us assume:

P_1=1.20atm\\V_1=795mL\\T_1=116^oC=[116+273]K=389K\\P_2=0.55atm\\V_2=?mL\\T_2=75^oC=[75+273]K=348K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1.20atm\times 795mL}{389K}=\frac{0.55atm\times V_2}{348K}\\\\V_2=\frac{1.20\times 795\times 348}{0.55\times 389}=1.6\times 10^3mL

Hence, the volume when the pressure and temperature has changed is 1.6\times 10^2mL
