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

If a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter, how many halflifes have gone by?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Two half lives.

Explanation:

It is known that the decay of isotopes and radioactive material obeys first order kinetics.

Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

That means for a sample 100% to decay to 50 % it will take one half-life, and to decay the remaining 50% to 25% it will take another half-life.

So, for a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter it will have two half-lives.

You wash dishes for a chemistry laboratory to make extra money for laundry. You earn 12 dollars/hour, and each shift lasts 75 mi
nadezda [96]

Answer:

A)You must work 2 shifts to wash 10 loads of laundry

B)You can wash 15 loads pf laundry if you work for 3 shifts

C) each shift will pay for 3.75 loads of laundry if the cost per load rises to 16 quarters

Explanation:

Given:

amount  earned =   12 dollars/hour

Duration for one shift = 75 minutes

Amount needed for Laundry = 12 quarters/load.

A. How many shifts must you work if you wish to wash 10 loads of laundry

To wash 10 loads, you will be requiring

=> 10 \times 12 \text{quarters}

=> 120 quarters

1 quarter = 0.25 dollars---------------------------------(1)

120 quarters

= 120 \times 0.25 \text{ dollars}

= 30 dollars

You need 30 dollars for washing 10 loads

In one hour i,e 60 minutes you earn=  12 dollars

In one minute the amount earned will be

= \frac {12}{60}

= 0.2 dollar-------------------------------------------------------(2)

Now to earn 30 dollars you have to work for

=30 \times 0.2 minutes

= 150 minutes

Thus the number of shifts will be  

= \frac{150}{75}

= 2 shifts

B. How many loads of laundry can you wash if you work 3 shifts

We Know that 1 shift =  75 minutes

So 3 shifts = 75 \times 3 = 225 minutes

From (2),

In 1 minute = 0.2 dollars is earned

So in  225 minutes =  225 \ times 0.2 = 45 dollar is earned

45 dollar = 45 \times 4 = 180 quarters

You can wash 1 load with 12 quarters

With 180 quarters you can wash = \frac{180}{12} = 15 loads

C. How many loads of laundry will each shift pay for if the cost per load rises to 16 quarters

Cost per load = 16 quarters

From (1)

16 quarters = 0.25 \times 16  = 4 dollars per load

From (2) In 1 shift the amount earned will be

=> 75 \times 0.2

=15 dollars

With 4 dollars you can wash 1 load

So with 15 dollars = \frac{15}{4} = 3.75 loads
