Answer: 0.036 J/g°C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that,

Q = 3.42 Kilojoules

[Convert 3.42 kilojoules to joules

If 1 kilojoule = 1000 joules

3.42 kilojoules = 3.42 x 1000 = 3420J]

Mass = 2.508Kg

[Convert 2.508 kg to grams

If 1 kg = 1000 grams

2.508kg = 2.508 x 1000 = 2508g]

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 42.061°C - 4.051°C

= 38.01°C

Apply the formula, Q = MCΦ

3420J = 2508g x Z x 38.01°C

3420J = 95329.08g•°C x Z

Z = (3420J / 95329.08g•°C)

Z = 0.03588 J/g°C

Round the value of Z to the nearest thousandth, hence Z = 0.036 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat of the substance is 0.036 J/g°C

How did the quantum mechanical model of the atom improve on Borh's atomic model?
patriot [66]

n the Bohr Model, the electron is treated as a particle in fixed orbits around the nucleus. In the Quantum Mechanical Model, the electron is treated mathematically as a wave. The electron has properties of both particles and waves.

The Bohr model was a one-dimensional model that used one quantum number to describe the distribution of electrons in the atom. The only information that was important was the size of the orbit, which was described by “n” the principle quantum number.

Schrodinger's model (Quantum Mechanical Model) allowed the electron to occupy three-dimensional space. It, therefore, required three coordinates, or three quantum numbers, to describe the distribution of electrons in the atom.

Hybrid cars can switch back and forth between gasoline power and electric
Savatey [412]

B. People can use additional conservation tactics, like sometimes  bicycling.

Explanation:

The use of bicycle to cover short distances would be good change in change in behavior that would enhance the conservational tactics in using fossil fuels.

Most hybrid cars still use gasoline. Although they have dualized energy sources.

  • Driving hybrid cars more often will not curb the conservation drive for fossil fuel. It will increase more demand for it.
  • Driving separate hybrid cars will not solve conservation issue of fossil fuels.
  • Driving the car more is no efficient way to curb the reliance on fossil fuels.

The use of bicycles to cover maybe short distances will be a good approach to conserving more fossil fuels.

Consider the following mechanism: O3 => O2 + O NO + O => NO2 What is the role of O2? A. intermediate B. catalyst C. reacta
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Step 1: O_3\rightarrow O_2+O

Step 2: NO+O\rightarrow NO_2

Overall reaction can be determined  by adding all the reactions of mechanism:

O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2

Reactants in an overall reaction = O_3\& NO

Products in an overall reaction = O_2\& NO_2

According to question , the role of oxygen gas is product.

Determine the [H3O+] in a 0.265 M HClO solution. The Ka of HClO is 2.9 × 10-8.
dexar [7]

8.8 × 10-5 M is the  [H3O+] concentration in 0.265 M HClO solution.

Explanation:

HClO is a weak acid and does not completely dissociate in water as ions.

the equation of dissociation can be written and ice table to be formed.

 HClO +H2O ⇒ ClO- + H3O+

I  0.265                0        0

C  -x                    +x     +x

E  0.265-x          +x      +x

Now applying the equation of Ka, where Ka is given as 2.9 × 10-8.

Ka = \frac{[ClO-][H3O+]}{[HClO]}

2.9 × 10^-8 = \frac{[x] [x]}{[0.265-x]}

x^{2} = 7.698 x10^{-9}

x = 8.8 × 10-5 M

The hydronium ion concentration is 8.8 × 10-5 M  in 0.265 M solution of HClO.
