Answer: 83%
Explanation:
The detailed solution is shown in the image attached. First we must work out the balanced reaction equation because accurate solution of the problem must be based on the stoichiometry of the reaction. From the given concentration and volume of reactants, we calculate the amount of substance reacted hence identify the limiting reactant. Lastly we use simple proportion to obtain the theoretical yield of the precipitate. This is now used to calculate the actual yield as shown in the solution attached.
Air is a mixture of several gasses

A dalton is the same as an atomic mass unit. And an atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) such that the mass is 1 g/mol. So in this problem you have 15 protons and 16 neutrons, so the number of daltons is 15 + 16 = 31.
<u>Given</u> :
- Amount = 20 kg
- Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
- Temperature change = 15 °C
<u>Formula applied</u> :
- Q = absorbed heat
- m = mass
- c = specific heat capacity
- ΔT = temperature change
Let's solve for c !
⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15
⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300
⇒ 
∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is <u>790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹</u>.
