What is Q= mc delta t

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

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

The substances with higher value of specific heat capacity require more heat to raise the temperature by one degree as compared the substances having low value of specific heat capacity.For example,

The specific heat capacity of oil is 1.57 j/g. K and for water is 4.18 j/g.K. So, water take a time to increase its temperature by one degree by absorbing more heat while oil will heat up faster by absorbing less amount of heat.

Consider that both oil and water have same mass of 5g and change in temperature is 15 K. Thus amount of heat thy absorbed to raise the temperature is,

For oil:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 5 g× 1.67 j/g K × 15 K

Q = 125.25 j

For water:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 5 g× 4.18 j/g K × 15 K

Q = 313.5 j

we can observe that water require more heat which is 313.5 j to increase its temperature.

Write the formula for calcium chloride. Explain how you determined this formula
hichkok12 [17]

Calcium forms an ion with a positive 2 charge and chlorine forms an ion with a negative one charg, so the formula is <span>CaC<span>l2</span></span>

Group 1 metals and group 2 metals form positive ions by losing 1 and 2 electrons respectively. Non-metals in group 17 gain 1, group 16 gain 2 and group 15 gain 3. Elements which lose electrons form positive ions while elements that gain electrons form negative ions. 

To write a formula, you must balance charges so the overall charge is zero. A simple way to do this is to swap the # of the ion's charge and make it the subscript of the other ion. However, leave off the number 1 and reduce to lowest whole number ratio.

Is KNO a strong acid?
stira [4]

Answer:

First of all, it's KNO₃ not KNO.

Second, KNO₃ is neither an acid nor it is a base, infact, it is a salt and therefore it's neutral.

hope that helps...

What is the expected ionic charge when group VI elements participate in ionic bonds?
valina [46]
Group 6 elements usually have extra electrons to make give them an octet. So, they have 6 electrons to start and when they have an octet, they have 8.

We can find the charge by doing simple math 6 - 8 = -2

Answer is D)

a drop of gasoline has a mass of 22 mg and a density of 0.754 g/cm^3. What is its volume in cubic centimeters?
Verizon [17]
The density can be calculated using the following rule:
density = mass/volume
therefore,
volume = mass/density

we have the mass=22 mg=0.022 grams and density=0.754g/cm^3

substituting in the above equation, we can calculate the volume as follows:
volume = 0.022/0.754 = 0.0291 cm^3
