How does specific heat and heat transfer relate to remote islands

1 answer:

4 0

Heat capacity is the ability of a material to store heat, higher the heat capacity higher the amount to heat stored by the material. Heat transfer usually varies inversely with heat capacity, i.e heat transfer will decrease with increase in heat capacity and vice versa. Thermal diffusivity is the ratio of thermal conductivity to the heat capacity, it says how fast (or slow) heat is transferred inside a material. Usually thermal diffusivity is directly proportional to the heat transfer rate, since heat capacity appears on the denominator, heat transfer is inversely proportional to the heat capacity.

In a favorable reaction, the free energy of the products is ________ the free energy of the reactants. In a favorable reaction,

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

In a favorable reaction, the free energy of the products is less than the free energy of the reactants.

Explanation:

The free energy of a system is the amount of a system's internal energy that is available to perform work. The different forms of free energy include Gibbs free energy and Helmholtz free energy.

In a system at constant temperature and pressure, the energy that can be converted into work or the amount of usable energy in that system is known as Gibbs free energy. In a system at constant temperature and volume, the energy that can be converted into work is known as Helmholtz free energy.

The change in free energy of a system is the maximum usable energy that is released or absorbed by a system when it goes from the initial state (i.e., all reactants) to the final state (i.e., all products).

In a chemical reaction, some bonds in the reactants are broken by absorbing energy and new bonds are formed in the products by releasing energy. As the reaction proceeds, the free energy of reactants is much greater than the products. As the products are formed, the concentration of reactants decreases and the difference in their free energy also decreases. This chemical reaction will occur until chemical equilibrium is achieved i.e., the free energy of the products and reactants is equal and the difference in their free energy is zero.

What mass of solid sodium formate (of MW 68.01) must be added to 150 mL of 0.42 mol/L formic acid (HCOOH) to make a buffer solu-

Sergio [31]

Answer:

We need 4.28 grams of sodium formate

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

MW of sodium formate = 68.01 g/mol

Volume of 0.42 mol/L formic acid = 150 mL = 0.150 L

pH = 3.74

Ka = 0.00018

Step 2: Calculate [base)

3.74 = -log(0.00018) + log [base]/[acid]

0 = log [base]/[acid]

0 = log [base] / 0.42

10^0 = 1 = [base]/0.42 M

[base] = 0.42 M

Step 3: Calculate moles of sodium formate:

Moles sodium formate = molarity * volume

Moles of sodium formate = 0.42 M * 0.150 L = 0.063 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass of sodium formate:

Mass sodium formate = moles sodium formate * Molar mass sodium formate

Mass sodium formate = 0.063 mol * 68.01 g/mol

Mass sodium formate = 4.28 grams

We need 4.28 grams of sodium formate

If 19.7 g of AlI3 is actually produced, what is the percentage yield? 2 Al + 3 I2 → 2 AlI3

tatuchka [14]

The formula actual yield / theoretical yield is used to calculate the percent yield of a reaction. This value is a measure of how much product is produced relative to the what is supposed to be produced. It seems that the given in the problem is incomplete so we cannot really give a specific value.
