Answer:

1.8 × 10² cal

Explanation:

When 0.32 g of a walnut is burned, the heat released is absorbed by water and used to raise its temperature. We can calculate this heat (Q) using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c: specific heat capacity of water

m: mass of water

ΔT: change in the temperature

Considering the density of water is 1 g/mL, 58.1 mL = 58.1 g.

Q = c × m × ΔT

Q = (1 cal/g.°C) × 58.1 g × 3.1°C

Q = 1.8 × 10² cal

According to VSEPR theory, if there are three electron domains in the valence shell of an atom, they will be arranged in a(n) __
wolverine [178]

Answer:  B. trigonal planar

Explanation:

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) is a model to predict the geometry of the atoms making up a molecule where atoms are arranged such that the forces of repulsion are minimum.

If a central atom is bound to three electron domains ,the number of electron pairs is 3, that means the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar as the electron pairs will repel each other and attain a position which is most stable.

Example: BCl_3 with 3 electron domains has trigonal planar geometry.

Mohs hardness strontium
Taya2010 [7]

Answer: 5.5

Explanation: Strontium titanate is both much denser (specific gravity 4.88 for natural, 5.13 for synthetic) and much softer (Mohs hardness 5.5 for synthetic, 6–6.5 for natural) than diamond.

What is the mass of a sample of alcohol (specific heat = 2.4 J/gC), if it requires 4780 J of heat to raise the temperature by 5.
insens350 [35]

The mass of a sample of alcohol is found to be = m = 367 g

Hence, it is found out that by raising the temperature of the given product, the mass of alcohol would be 367 g.

Explanation:

The Energy of the sample given is q = 4780

We are required to find the mass of alcohol m = ?

Given that,

The specific heat given is represented by = c = 2.4 J/gC

The temperature given is ΔT = 5.43° C

The mass of sample of alcohol can be found as follows,

The formula is c = \frac{q}{mt}

We can drive value of m bu shifting m on the left hand side,

m = \frac{q}{ct}

mass of alcohol (m) = \frac{4780}{(2.4)( 5.43)}

m = 367 g

Therefore, The mass of the given sample of alcohol is

m = 367g

It requires 4780 J of heat to raise the temperature by 5.43 C in the process which yields a mass of 367 g of alcohol.
