The specific heat capacity, C, of the substance is 3.94 \frac{J}{g-^oC}. To raise one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius, a specific amount of heat must be absorbed. This is called the specific heat of the substance. The higher the specific heat of a substance, the more energy is needed to increase its temperature and vice versa.

<u>Further Explanation: </u>

The specific heat capacity, C, of a substance is related to the amount of substance and the temperature change using the following equation

q \ = \ mC(T_{f}-T_{i})

where

q = amount of heat absorbed (usually in J)

m = amount of substance (in g)

C = specific heat capacity (in \frac{J}{g-^oC})

T(f) = final temperature

T(i) = initial temperature.

To answer the problem, we sort the given information:

q = 22974 J (5 significan figures)

m = 96.5 g (3 significant figures)

C = ?

T(f) = 73.86 °C (4 significant figures)

T(i) = 13.46 °C (4 significant figures)

Then, to find C, rearrange the equation:

C \ = \frac{q}{m(T_{f} \ - \ T_{i})}

Plug in the values to the equation above to get the value of C.

C \ = \ \frac{22974 \ J}{96.5 \ g \ (73.86 \ \ -13.46 \°C)} \\C \ = \ \frac{22974 \ J}{96.5 \ g \ (60.4\°C)} \\C \ = \ \frac{22974 \ J}{5828.6 \ g -\°C} \\C \ = \ 3.941598 \ \frac{J}{g -\°C} \\

Since the least number of significant figures in the given is 3, then the final answer must have 3 significant figures, too. Therefore,

\boxed {C = 3.94 \ \frac{J}{ g -\°C}}

How many grams of hydrogen gas will form in this equation?
FrozenT [24]
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. The first two reactants have a total of 23 grams so therefore the product must have 23 grams as well.
23 - 16 = 7
There would be 7 grams of hydrogen gas.

Trimix 10/50 is a gas mixture that contians 10% oxygen and 50% helium, and the rest is nitrogen. If a tank of trimix 10/50 has a
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

Dalton's law <u>states that the sum of the partial pressures of each gas equals the total pressure of the gas mixture.</u> According to this law,

Pi = xi P

where Pi is the partial pressure of the gas i, xi is the mole fraction of the gas i in the gas mixture and P is the total pressure.

The mole fraction <u>is defined as the quotient between the moles of solute (ni) and the total moles of the mixture (nt)</u>, which is calculated by adding the moles of all its components:

xi = \frac{n_{i} }{n_{t} }

In the Trimix 10/50 mix you have 10% oxygen, 50% helium and 40% nitrogen.

To calculate the total number of moles of the mixture and thus determine the molar fraction of helium, we consider 100 g and calculate the number of moles that represent 10 g of O₂ (n₁), 50 g of He (n₂) and 40 g of N₂ (n₃):

n₁ =  10 g x \frac{1 mol}{31.998 g} = 0.313 mol

n₂ =  50 g x \frac{1 mol}{8.005 g} = 6.246 mol

n₃ =  40 g x \frac{1 mol}{28.013 g} = 1.428 mol

Then the total number of moles (nt) will be:

nt = n₁ + n₂ + n₃ = 0.313 mol + 6.246 mol +1.428 mol

nt = 7,987 mol

Then, the mole fraction of helium (x₂) in the mixture will be,

x₂ =  \frac{6.246 mol}{7.987 mol} = 0.78

and the partial pressure of helium in the mixture, according to Dalton's law, will be:

P₂ = x₂ P = 0.78 x 2.07 x 10⁴ kPa

P₂= 1.61 x 10⁴ kPa

So, <u>the partial pressure of helium if a tank of trimix 10/50 has a total pressure of 2.07 x 104 kPa is  1.61 x 10⁴ kPa</u>

Please help! If a forensic chemist discovers evidence through examination which would prove a person guilty of a crime, why then
Bogdan [553]

Explanation: You cannot be convicted of a crime without evidence. You cannot be convicted of a state crime. You cannot be convicted of a federal crime. If there is no evidence against you, under the law, it simply is not possible for the prosecutor's office to obtain a conviction at trial. So, when you do have evidence it is really impossible to not get convicted unless the judge truly believes your side of the story and declares you not guilty.

I hope this helped :) If not i'm sorry!

A solution has a pH of 11.8. What is the pOH?
amid [387]

Answer:

pOH is 2.2

Explanation:

The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. As such, the pH and the pOH add up to 14. Subtract your pH from 14 to get your answer.

14 - 11.8 = 2.2

Calculate the [oh] for 0.46 Hcl
Bad White [126]

Answer:

2.17 e -14

Explanation:

A strong acid like HCl ionize 100 % in water so [H3O+] = 0.46 M

[OH-] = Kw /  [H3O+]

        =  1.0 e -14 / 0.46

         = 2.17 e -14
