Specific heat capacity is the required amount of heat per unit of mass in order to raise teh temperature by one degree Celsius. It can be calculated from this equation: H = mCΔT where the H is heat required, m is mass of the substance, ΔT is the change in temperature, and C is the specific heat capacity.
H = m<span>CΔT
2501.0 = 0.158 (C) (61.0 - 32.0)
C = 545.8 J/kg</span>·°C
Dilution refers to decreasing the ratio of total solution to the reference solution by the addition of other liquids. By adding water to tomato soup, the balance of “tomato soup” molecules decreases from 100% tomato soup, to eventually 1:1 TS and Water (50%), and so on. Chemically, you can observe this as decreasing the concentration of tomato soup in this solution.
An exothermic reaction releases heat. An endothermic reaction absorbs heat. Burning gas releases heat so it would be exothermic. Acid and water react heating the beaker would be exothermic because it releases heat from the reaction. Hope this helps! ;)
Branched chain alkanes
The alkanes don't contain a functional group and so the branches are numbered from the end that gives the lowest set of position numbers for the branches.
Use the above rules to see how the names of the alkanes below are built up.
The structure of 2-methylbutane is a butane molecule (C4H10) but with a methyl group (CH3) replacing a hydrogen on the second carbon atom in the chain. The structure of 3-methylpentane could be drawn as butane with an ethyl group (C2H5) replacing a hydrogen on the second carbon. Note that this is not 2-ethylbutane. The structure of 2,2-dimethylbutane is butane with two methyl groups replacing the two hydrogens on the second carbon.
