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

On which part of the carbon cycle have humans had the greatest impact? storage of co2 in the oceans all of the answer options ha
yarga [219]
Hello!

The part of the carbon cycle where humans had the greatest impact is the return of CO₂ to the atmosphere by burning of ancient organic matter.

The ancient organic matter is also called Fossil Fuels. Some Fossil Fuels are Petroleum and Coal. Fossil Fuels are used to power our society and are burned to provide energy for power plants and vehicles, and by burning them, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is produced, increasing the natural concentration of this compound in the atmosphere.

Have a nice day!

Compound Y has the elements C, H, N and O. It's exact mass is 91.0425. Answer the following questions. Isotope Exact Mass 1H 1.0
Talja [164]

Answer:

Six C atoms (C₆); five H atoms (H₅); one N atom (N); no O atoms

Explanation:

The rule of 13 states that the formula of a compound is a multiple n of 13 (the molar mass of CH) plus a remainder r.

MF = CₙHₙ₊ᵣ

Y has a molecular mass of 91 u

91/13 =7r0

The formula can't be C₇H₇ because a hydrocarbon must have an even number of H atoms,

The odd mass and the odd number of H atoms make it reasonable to add an N atom and subtract CH₂ (CH₂ = 14):

C₇H₇ + N - CH₂ = C₆H₅N

Check:

6C = 6 × 12.000 = 72.000 u

5H = 5 ×   1.008 =   5.040

1N =  1 × 14.003 =  <u>14.003    </u>

             TOTAL =   91.043 u

This is excellent agreement with the observed mass of 91.0425 u.

There are six  C atoms (C₆)

There are five H atoms (H₅)

There is    one N atom   (N)

There are no   O atoms.

Does density of water depend on the amount of water present ?
Nitella [24]
<span>No, the denisty of any substance/liquid is always constant, no matter what the volume or mass is. Once the mass g/ volume mL is taken into consideration, the effect of the ammount of liquid given is canceled out. Thus, no matter what your sample is, the density of water will always be 1 g/mL</span>
