4. By what quantity must the heat capacity be divided to obtain the specific heat of that material? (I poin
1 answer:
Answer:
its mass
its temperature
Explanation:
The heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat needed to raise that temperature of a body by 1k or 1°C.
It is expresses as:
H = m c Ф
where m is the mass of the body
c is the specific heat of the body
Ф is the temperature change of the body
Specific heat capacity is that heat content needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1k or 1°C
Heat capacity is also known as heat content;
To solve the problem:
since H = m c Ф
we make the unknown c the subject of the expression;
c = = H / mФ
So to obtain the specific heat capacity, divided the heat capacity by mass and its temperature change.

Answer:
0.03atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Total pressure = 780torr
Partial pressure of water vapor = 1.0atm
Unknown:
Partial pressure of radon = ?
Solution:
A sound knowledge of Dalton's law of partial pressure will help solve this problem.
The law states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases".
Mathematically;
P = P
+ P
+ P
Since the total pressure is 780torr, convert this to atm;
760torr = 1 atm
780torr = atm = 1.03atm
For this problem;
Total pressure = Partial pressure of radon + Partial pressure of water vapor
1.03 = Partial pressure of radon + 1.0
Partial pressure of radon = 1.03 - 1.00 = 0.03atm
Data:
p (pressure) = 81.8 kPa = 81.8*10³ Pa ≈ 8.07 atm
v (volume) = ? (in L)
n (number of mols) = 0.352 mol
R (Gas constant) = 0.082 (atm*L/mol*K)
T (temperature) = 25ºC converting to Kelvin, we have:
TK = TC + 273 → TK = 25 + 273 → TK = 298
Formula:
