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

sample of carbon monoxide gas occupies 3.20 L at 125 °C. At what temperature will the gas occupy a volume of 1.54 L if the press
Anna [14]

Answer:

-81.5 degrees C or 191.5 K

Explanation:

We want to use Charles' gas law: V/T = V/T

Our initial volume is 3.20 L, and our initial temperature is 125 degrees C, or 125 + 273 = 398 degrees Kelvin.

Our new Volume is 1.54 L, but we don't know what the temperature is. So, we use the equation:

3.20 L / 398 K = 1.54 L / T ⇒ Solving for T, we get: T = 191.5 K

If we want this in degrees Celsius, we subtract 273: 191.5 - 273 = -81.5 degrees C

Which of the following observations NOT likely describes a chemical change? a A white solid was exposed to ultraviolet light and
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - c.  A solid was added to water and the mixture was stirred until the solid was no longer visible

Explanation:

Photostabalizing is the process where a solid change its color in the presence of ultraviolet light, it is a chemical change, so the first option would not be the correct answer.

when two liquid or aqueous solutions are mixed together and form a solid substance, this reaction is known as precipitation and it is a chemical reaction too.

When a solid is placed in a liquid and after stirring it makes the solid vanish is a physical change known as dissolving character.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Where are people mostly exposed to chemicals?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

people are mostly exposed to chemicals through their nose, mouth, eyes, and ears

What is the percentage composition of CF4
adoni [48]
The percentage composition of CF4 is %C = 13.64% and %F = 86.36% 

The solution are as follows:
Molar mass of CF4 = 88 
<span>molar mass of C = 12 </span>
<span>molar mass of F = 4x19 = 76 </span>

<span>% C = 12/88 x 100 = 13.64% </span>
<span>% F = 76/88 x 100 = 86.36%</span>

Research shows that the combination of __________ and __________ can reduce the risk of death in a collision by up to 80%
r-ruslan [8.4K]
The combination of seatbelts and airbags can reduce the risk of death in a collision by up to 80%.

The seatbelts help to keep the person in one position and prevent impact with the vehicle as the vehicle comes to a sudden stop. Moreover, the airbag increases the time of collision to reduce the impact experienced by the person. An increased time of collision greatly reduces the damage that is done to the body.
