A substance releases 2,192 J of heat, changing its temperature from 50 degrees C to 5 degrees C. The mass of the substance is 73
1 answer:
The specific heat capacity of the given substance is -0.66 J/g°C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The heat absorbed by any substance is the product of its mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
q = m × c × ΔT
m is the mass in grams
q = amount of heat released or absorbed in J
ΔT = change in temperature in °C = 5 -50 = -45°C
c = specific heat capacity in J/g°C
c =
Plugin the values, we will get,
c =
= -0.66 J/g°C

Answer:
-100 kJ
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by applying the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:
where:
is the change in internal energy of a system
Q is the heat absorbed/released by the system (it is positive if absorbed by the system, negative if released by the system)
W is the work done by the system (it is positive if done by the system, negative if done on the system)
For the system in this problem we have:
W = +147 kJ is the work done by the system
Q = +47 kJ is the heat absorbed by the system
So , its change in internal energy is:
Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
Explanation:
Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.
Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.
In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .
Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X
4X= 28
X = 7
Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y
2X- Y = 10
2(7) - Y= 10
14-10 = Y
Y= 4
Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
