Answer:

The temperature of the substance with the lower specific heat will increase more than the one with a higher specific heat

Explanation:

The increase of temperature of a substance is given by:

$\Delta T = \frac{Q}{m C_s}$

where

Q is the amount of heat absorbed by the substance

m is the mass of the substance

$C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the substance

In this problem, we have two substances with same mass m, that absorb the same amount of heat Q. We see from the formula that the increase in temperature is inversely proportional to the specific heat: therefore, the substance with lower specific heat will have a greater increase in temperature than the substance with higher specific heat.

Calculate the solubility (in m units) of ammonia gas in water at 298 k and a partial pressure of 2.50 bar . the henry's law cons

Eduardwww [97]

Henry's Law (formulated in 1803 by William Henry) states that aa constant temperature, the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure exerted by that gas on the liquid.
Mathematically it can be formulated as
C = H⨯P
being:
C: the molar concentration of dissolved gas A,
P: the partial pressure of it
H: Henry's constant
Substituting:
C = P * H
C = (2.50 * 0.9869) * 58.0
C = 143.1
Answer:
the solubility (in m units) is
C = 143.1

Answer:

1) Chemical to mechanical (calories -> muscle contractions)

2) mechanical to mechanical (muscle -> motion)

3) mechanical to thermal (motion -> heat from the body causes sweating)

The potential energy is stored in the body chemically (via food). That potential energy is then released when the body is put in motion.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

Explanation:

Here Tech A is wrong because when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, it is not necessary to un plugg the oil cooler rather it should be plugged to for proper diagnosis.

Technician B says running the hydraulic system at a lower operating temperature will reduce the possibly of oil oxidation is correct statement because at temperature oil's physical as well as chemical property tend to change.

Hence, Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

The net force acting on an object equals the applied force plus the force of friction.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The net force is equal to the applied force minus the force of friction. It is possible for friction to act in the same direction as an applied force, but that would mean there would have to be more than two forces acting on the object.
