Answer : Gold will heat up faster.

Explanation : Given,

The Specific heat of Silver and gold are 0.057 & 0.0314 calories/gram^{0}C respectively.

Specific heat is the amount of energy/heat required to raise the temperature of 1 Kg mass by 1 Kelvin.

The formula of Specific heat is,

q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

Where,

c = Specific heat

q = Heat required

T_{final} = final temperature

T_{initial} = initial temperature

we are taking initial temperature as zero. According to the question, the mass and the heat are same.

Now put all the values in above formula, we get

For gold,

q=m\times 0.031\times (T_{gold}-0)        .........(1)

For silver,

q=m\times 0.057\times (T_{silver}-0)      ......... (2)

Now equating equation (1) and (2), we get

T_{gold}=1.83\times T_{silver}

From this, we conclude that the temperature of gold is 1.83 times higher than the temperature of silver.

Therefore, Gold will heat up faster.

I think the substance that will heat up faster would be the silver metal since it has a higher heat capacity. Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the system into one degree. Heat capacity and heat energy is directly related so higher value of heat capacity would lead to higher heat energy.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the heat of reaction per gram of reactant and we should know the total energy of reaction, but it is not there, we are going to assume it is 1200 J as usual in these problems, so you can change it to whatever your given heat is.

In such a way, we set up the math as shown below:

m= 1200J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}*\frac{1g}{31.0kJ}

Which results:

m=0.0387g

Best regards!

How many grams of NaoH are needed to nutralize 50 grams of H2SO4?​
sergij07 [2.7K]

to neutralize 1 mole of H2 S o4 we need one mole of any if we are having 50 grams of H2 S o4 it means the mole of H2 S o4 in 50 gram will be 50×40)/98 hence

utilising 50 grams of H2 S o4 we need approximately 20. 5 gm of Naoh
