Hello!

The exercise doesn't say the final temperature, but we are going to assume that the increase is of 20 °C (The procedure is the same, just change the final temperature) To calculate the heat absorbed by water, we need to use the equation for Heat Transfer, in the following way (assuming that the heat increase is 20°C):

Q=m*C* \Delta T=15,5 g * 4,184 (J/g^\circ C) * 20 ^\circ C=1297,04 J

So, the Heat absorbed by water is 1297,04 J

Have a nice day!

Which of the following atoms would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The atom that would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level is S(sulfur)

This is because s (sulfur) is in atomic number 16 with 2.8.6 of [Ne] 3s^2 2p^4 electronic configuration. This implies that sulfur has 6 valence electron and therefore it require two electron to fill its valence energy level and obtain 18 rule electrons.

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If we could burn the pizza and use all the heat to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what woul
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

10°C  

Explanation:

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by the slice of pizza

Thus,    

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T=Q

<u>For water:  </u>

Volume = 50.0 L

Density of water= 1 kg/L  

So, mass of the water:  

Mass\ of\ water=Density \times {Volume\ of\ water}  

Mass\ of\ water=1 kg/L \times {50.0\ L}  

Mass of water  = 50 kg

Specific heat of water = 1 kcal/kg°C  

ΔT = ?

For slice of pizza:  

Q = 500 kcal

So,

50\times 1\times \Delta T=500  

ΔT = 10°C  

Increase in temperature = 10°C

How would life be different without polythene
Alexxx [7]
Without plastic, we wouldn't have as much of an environmental problem as we have now. Even though plastic has a lot of negatives, it's also made our lives a lot easier over past years. ... Our cars would have been different since a lot of the materials used inside are made out of plastic.

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.7 grams of gaseous helium from 22.1 °C to 39.4 °C ?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Q = 2640.96 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of He gas = 10.7 g

Initial temperature = 22.1°C

Final temperature = 39.4°C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree. Specific heat capacity of He is 14.267 J/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 39.4°C - 22.1°C

ΔT = 17.3°C

Q = 10.7 g× 14.267 J/g.°C ×  17.3°C

Q = 2640.96 J
