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

After attending his cousin's birthday party in his backyard, Michael forgot his balloon outside when he went to bed. Overnight,
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

You see, we must cast our minds back to Charles' law. Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume of a gas and temperature of the gas.

Now, Micheal left the balloon outside at a particular temperature and volume the previous night. Overnight, the temperature dropped significantly and so must the volume of the gas in the balloon!

Remember that Charles' law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure. Since the pressure was held constant, the drop in the volume of gas in the balloon can be accounted for by the drop in temperature overnight.

. If the half-life of cesium-133 is 30 years, how much of a 600g sample of cesium-133 will be left after
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Caesium (55Cs) has 40 known isotopes, making it, along with barium and mercury, one of the elements with the most isotopes. The atomic masses of these isotopes range from 112 to 151. Only one isotope, 133Cs, is stable. The longest-lived radioisotopes are 135Cs with a half-life of 2.3 million years, ... It constitutes most of the radioactivity still left from the Chernobyl accident ...

Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is an ionic compound with a solubility product constant, Ksp, of 6.5×10–6. Calculate the solubility
kari74 [83]

Answer: The solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as K_{sp}

The equation for the ionization of the  is given as:

Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2OH^-  

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of  Ca(OH)_2 gives 1 mole of Ca^{2+} and 2 mole of OH^-

When the solubility of  Ca(OH)_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Ca^{2+}  will be S moles\liter and solubility of OH^- will be 2S moles/liter.

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^{-}]^2

6.5\times 10^{-6}=[S][2S]^2

S=0.012M

Thus solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Substituting carbonated soft drinks for dairy products in the diet is a bad idea because the resulting high _______________ inta
nata0808 [166]

Answer: The correct answer is C) carbon dioxide; calcium.

Explanation:

Carbonated soft drinks contain big concentrations of carbon dioxide, which is the bubbles that we see and feel. When these drinks are included regurly in the diet, the carbon dioxide levels are increased; and according to several studies high carbon dioxide values are related with bone loss.

Additionally, calcium is known for being an important nutrient for both formation and maintenance of bones, so inadequate intake of calcium in the diet results in a bone loss.
