A certain sample of a gas has a volume of 20 L at 0°C and 1 atm. A plot of the experimental data of its volume against the Celsi

us temperature, at constant P, gives a straight line of slope 0.0741 L(C)^-1. From these data alone (without making use of the perfect gas law), determine the absolute zero of temperature in degrees Celsius.

Answer:

-270 °C

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line in which y (dependent variable) is plotted against x (independent variable) is given as y = mx + b. Where m is the slope of the graph and b is the intercept (y value when x = 0).

Given that the volume (V) is plotted against the Celsius temperature (T). It can be represented by the function:

V = mT + b

m = slope = 0.0741 L(C)^-1, b = intercept (value of volume at temperature of 0°) = 20 L

Hence:

V = 0.0741T + 20

At absolute zero, V = 0 L, therefore:

0 = 0.0741T + 20

0.0741T = -20

T = -20 / 0.0741

T = -269.9

T ≅ -270 °C

carbon disulfide is formed by the reaction of coke (carbon) with sulfur dioxide. how many moles of cs2 will be generated if 8.0
Murrr4er [49]
5C₂ + 4SO₂ ------>  2CS₂  +  8CO

mole ratio of C₂  :  CS₂
                 =   5   :    2

∴ since C₂ contains 8 moles 

  then CS₂ contain   ( \frac{8}{5} )  *  2  moles
                            
                             =  3.2 moles

A 25.0 g sample of an alloy was heated to 100.0 oC and dropped into a beaker containing 90 grams of water at 25.32 oC. The tempe
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

Explanation:

Mass of an alloy m_{a} = 25 gm

Initial temperature T_{a} = 100°c = 373 K

Mass of water m_{w} = 90 gm

Initial temperature of water T_{w} = 25.32 °c = 298.32 K

Final temperature T_{f} = 27.18 °c = 300.18 K

From energy balance equation

Heat lost by alloy = Heat gain by water

m_{a} C_{a}  [T_{a} - T_{f}] = m_{w} C_w (T_{f} -T_{w} )

25 × C_{a} × ( 373 - 300.18 ) = 90 × 4.2 (300.18 - 298.32)

C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

This is the specific heat of the alloy.
