<u>Answer</u>:

The inner walls of a vacuum flask have a silver coating to reduce heat loss by radiation.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The vacuum flask has an inner silver lining to prevent the transfer of  heat by radiation. Radiation is a process where the emission or transformation of energy happens in the form of wave or the  particles through the material medium.

Vacuum flask being working as thermal insulator helps in maintaining the substance its actual temperature for a long time. The silver lining acts as a reflector .It  prevents the heat radiation to released out of the flask.

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter  C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given data

Heat added Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Temperature change = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 ° c

From the given condition

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Put all the values in above equation we get

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This is the value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter.

Which relationship can be used to aid in the determination of the heat absorbed by bomb calorimeter? 
NARA [144]

Answer:

ΔH = q_{p}

Explanation:

In a calorimeter, when there is a complete combustion within the calorimeter, the heat given off in the combustion is used to raise the thermal energy of the water and the calorimeter.

The heat transfer is represented by

q_{com} = q_{p}

where

q_{p} = the internal heat gained by the whole calorimeter mass system, which is the water, as well as the calorimeter itself.

q_{com}  = the heat of combustion

Also, we know that the total heat change of the any system is

ΔH = ΔQ + ΔW

where

ΔH = the total heat absorbed by the system

ΔQ = the internal heat absorbed by the system which in this case is q_{p}

ΔW = work done on the system due to a change in volume. Since the volume of the calorimeter system does not change, then ΔW = 0

substituting into the heat change equation

ΔH = q_{p} + 0

==> ΔH = q_{p}
