1. How many joules must be added to 10.0 g of water to raise its temperature from 10°C to<br> 15°C?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

209.3 Joules require to raise the temperature from 10 °C to 15 °C.

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

Given data:

mass of water = 10 g

initial temperature T1= 10 °C

final temperature T2=  15 °C

temperature change =ΔT= T2-T1 = 15°C - 10°C = 5 °C

Energy or joules added to increase the temperature Q = ?

Solution:

We know that specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g .°C

Q = m × c × ΔT

Q = 10 g × 4.186 J/g .°C × 5 °C

Q = 209.3 J

Decide which element probably forms a compound with chlorine that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical
Degger [83]

Answer:

Most similar - Lithium

Least similar - Phosphorus

Explanation:

Rubidium is an element in group 1A of the periodic table. It is a metal and forms an ionic compound with chlorine. The formula of the compound is RbCl.

If we look at the options, Lithium is also a group 1A element and forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula LiCl which is very much similar to RbCl chemically.

Phosphorus is a nonmetal. Its compounds with chlorine, PCl3 and PCl5 are covalent and does not resemble RbCl in any way.
