A piece of copper with a mass of 218 g has a heat capacity of 83.9 j/°c. what is the specific heat of copper?

1 answer:

4 0

The answer to this question would be: 0.385 j/g°c

Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to increase 1 degree of celcius per one gram of a specific mass. In this question, it needs 83.9 j/°c energy to increase the temperature of 218 g copper. Then, the specific heat would be: (83.9 j/°c) / 218g= 0.38486 j/g°c

Nitella [24]

Answer: Braces are used by the people to correct the alignment and position of tooth or teeth in the jaw.

Explanation:

The teeth braces must have strong tensile strength and must create a constant pressure on the teeth so as to allow the straightening of the teeth.

The strong force of attraction between the molecules of the braces material that can be steel, nickel, molybdenum, copper, titanium. This makes the bracing material rigid on the teeth.

The atomic number,atomic mass,valence electrons and the formula for calculating the number of neutrons is also given.The following table has been completed below in the attachment.

Explanation:

Atomic Number:the number of protons /electrons present in the nucleus of an atom is called the atomic number.

Mass Number/Atomic Mass:the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus

Example: $C_{6} ^{12}$ ;here;6 implies the atomic number and 12 implies the mass number/atomic mass

No.of neutrons=Mass number-Number of protons

Valence electrons:the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons

Example:If we consider a carbon atom;as its electronic configuration is2,4 and it belongs to 4th group.Therefore the number of valency electrons in carbon is 4.

Uranium has an atomic weight of 238 amu.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

U= 238g/mol

U2O5= 556g/mol

Explanation:

Since U= 238

O=16

U3O5= 2(238)+3(16)=556g/mol
