Answer:

0.14 J/g°C.

Explanation:

  • To calculate the specific heat capacity of Hg, we use the relation:

<em>The amount of heat absorbed by Hg = Q = m.c.ΔT.</em>

where, m is the mass of Hg (m = 50.0 g).

c is the specific heat capacity of Hg = ??? J/g°C.

ΔT is the temperature difference = (final T - initial T = 110.0°C).

∴ The amount of heat absorbed by Hg = Q = m.c.ΔT = 770.0 J.

∴ 770.0 J = (50.0 g)(c)(110.0°C).

<em>∴ c = Q/m.ΔT =</em> (770.0 J)/((50.0 g)(110.0°C) = <em>0.14 J/g°C.</em>

Briefly describe the action of hardwater with soap​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - hard water reacts to form the calcium or magnesium salt of the organic acid of the soap.

Explanation:

Soaps are made up of fatty acids or oils by treating with strong alkali and are salts of sodium and potassium. Hard water, on the other hand, has a high concentration of minerals in comparison to soft water. When hard water and soap are mixed together the salts of the minerals like Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions present in hard water react with fatty acids of the soap.

The sodium salts are changed to the salts of calcium and magnesium which are precipitated to an insoluble substance. The insoluble salts of the calcium or magnesium dirt stick on the clothes thus cleaning ability of soap is reduced.

How many moles of sucrose (C12H22O11) would be in 8.7 L of a 1.1 M solution of sucrose?
poizon [28]

Answer:

9.57 mol.

Explanation:

<em>Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of a solute per 1.0 L of the solution.</em>

<em />

<em>M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)).</em>

<em></em>

∴ M = (no. of moles of sucrose)/(V of the solution (L)).

1.1 M = (no. of moles of sucrose)/(8.7 L).

<em>∴ no. of moles of sucrose = (1.1 M)(8.7 L) = 9.57 mol.</em>
