Unbalanced forces can cause an object change its motion in three ways. What are they?

When 47.1 J of heat is added to 14.0 g of a liquid, its temperature rises by 1.80 ∘C. What is the heat capacity of the liquid?

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.87 \J/g \textdegree C}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the specific heat capacity of a liquid. We are given the heat added, the mass, and the change in temperature, so we will use the following formula.

$q= mc\Delta T$

The heat added (q) is 47.1 Joules. The mass (m) of the liquid is 14.0 grams. The specific heat (c) is unknown. The change in temperature (ΔT) is 1.80 °C.

q= 47.1 J
m= 14.0 g
ΔT= 1.80 °C

Substitute these values into the formula.

$47.1 \ J = (14.0 \ g) * c * (1.80 \textdegree C)$

Multiply the 2 numbers in parentheses on the right side of the equation.

$47.1 \ J = (14.0 \ g * 1.80 \textdegree C)*c$

$47.1 \ J = (25.2 \ g*\textdegree C) *c$

We are solving for the heat capacity of the liquid, so we must isolate the variable c. It is being multiplied by 25.2 grams * degrees Celsius. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides of the equation by (25.2 g * °C).

$\frac {47.1 \ J}{(25.2 g *\textdegree C)} = \frac {(25.2 g *\textdegree C)*c}{{(25.2 g *\textdegree C)}}$

$\frac {47.1 \ J}{(25.2 g *\textdegree C)} =c$

$1.869047619 \ J/g *\textdegree C = c$

The original measurements of heat, mass, and temperature all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the hundredth place. The 9 in the thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 6 up to a 7.

$1.87 \ J/ g * \textdegree C =c$

The heat capacity of the liquid is approximately 1.87 J/g°C.

Which of the following is not a possible termination step in the free radical chlorination of methane? Group of answer choices ∙

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: first option is not a termination

∙CH3 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + Cl∙

Explanation:

Since a radical is formed as part of the product it means it's a propagation step and not a termination step, at termination no free radical exist as product

A swimming-pool worker wants the pool's pH to be 7.2. She comes by to test the water and finds that the pH is 6.2. What should s

vichka [17]

The swimming pools pH is below 7, meaning it is slightly acidic. If you want to make the pH higher, you must add a base which by definition has a pH higher than 7.

Which two atoms could be the "before'' and ''after'' of an alpha ejection

spin [16.1K]

The answer would be uranium and thorium. When an alpha ejects a particle, it will create a new atom. So, when uranium ejects an alpha particle, it will produce thorium. They call this process as the alpha decay. Alpha decay often happens on atoms that are abundant nuclei such as uranium, radium, and thorium.
