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 = $\frac{q}{m \times dT}

Plugin the values, we will get,

c = $\frac{2192 }{73.9 \times-45}

= -0.66 J/g°C

What is the total number of calories of heat energy absorbed when 10 grams of water is vaporized at its normal boiling point
Darya [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:

q=m\times L_{vap}

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 10 grams

L_{vap} = latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=10g\times 539Cal/g=5390Cal

Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

The Spirit of America Goodyear blimp has a volume of 2.027×105 ft3.When the blimp is in operation, it is filled with helium gas.
Andru [333]
Answer: 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
In this question, you are given the volume of the blimp (2.027×10^5 ft^3) and the density of the gas(0.179g/L). To answer this question, you need to convert the volume unit into liter. The calculation would be: 2.027×10^5 ft^3 x 28.3168L/ft3= 57.398 x 10^5L= 5.74x10^6L

Then to find the mass, multiply the volume with the density. The calculation would be: 5.74x10^6L x 0.179g/L= 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg

What is the atomic weight of a hypothetical element consisting of two isotopes, one with a mass of 62.2 u which is 24% abundant,
Alona [7]

Answer:

The atomic weight of hypothetical element will be 63.568 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

First isotope mass = 62.2 amu

Percentage abundance of first isotope = 24%

Mass of second isotope = 64 amu

Percentage abundance of second isotope = 100- 24 = 76%

Solution:

The atomic weight of hypothetical element will be the average atomic mass of its isotopes.

Average atomic mass = [mass of isotope× its abundance] + [mass of isotope× its abundance] +...[ ] / 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Average atomic mass = [24 ×62.2] + [76× 64] / 100

Average atomic mass = 1492.8 + 4864 / 100

Average atomic mass = 6356.8/100

Average atomic mass =  63.568 amu
