Hi There!

Question - What best explains why water has a high specific heat?

Answer - The reason water's heat only raises to a specific temperature is because the amount of energy created from hydrogen bonds would increase the temperature.

Hope This Helps :)

A 52 gram sample of an unknown metal requires 714 Joules of energy to heat it from
ratelena [41]

Answer:  Approximately 0.267 \frac{\text{J}}{\text{g}^{\circ}\text{C}}

===================================================

Work Shown:

We have the following variables

  • Q = 714 joules = heat required
  • m = 52 grams = mass
  • c = specific heat = unknown
  • \Delta t = 82-30.5 = 51.5 = change in temperature

note: the symbol \Delta is the uppercase Greek letter delta. It represents the difference or change in a value.

Apply those values into the formula below. Solve for c.

Q = m*c*\Delta t\\\\714 = 52*c*51.5\\\\714 = 52*51.5*c\\\\714 = 2678*c\\\\2678*c = 714\\\\c = \frac{714}{2678}\\\\c \approx 0.26661687826737\\\\c \approx 0.267\\\\

The specific heat of the unknown metal is roughly 0.267 \frac{\text{J}}{\text{g}^{\circ}\text{C}}

a 15.0 L tank of gas is contained at a high pressure of 8.20*10^4. The tank is opened and the gas expands into an empty chamber
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

P_2=20.5

Explanation:

Assuming that temperature is constant

According to Boyle's Law, at constant temperature pressure is inversly proportional to the volume  and mathematically it can be expressed as:

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2..........1

P_1=8.2 \times 10^4

P_2=?

V_1=15L

V_2=6.00 \times 10^4L

from the first equation after putting all the value

we get,

P_2=20.5

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Together with her husband, she was awarded half of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, for their study into the spontaneous radiation discovered by Becquerel, who was awarded the other half of the Prize. In 1911 she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, in recognition of her work in radioactivity.

3. What volume would be occupied by 3.5 mol of oxygen gas at a pressure
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The oxygen will occupied 84.7 L.

Explanation:

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:  

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.

In this case:

  • P= 768 mmHg
  • V= ?
  • n= 3.5 mol
  • R= 62.36 \frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}
  • T= 25 C= 298 K (being 0 C= 273 K)

Replacing:

768 mmHg* V= 3.5 mol* 62.36 \frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K} *298 K

Solving:

V=\frac{3.5 mol*62.36\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}*298 K }{768 mmHg}

V= 84.7 L

<u><em>The oxygen will occupied 84.7 L.</em></u>

One million argon atoms is how many mol of argon atoms? (2 significant figures)
Degger [83]

Answer:

1.66 * 10^-18 mol of Argon

Explanation:

Avogadro says 1 mol of anything has 6.022* 10^23 atoms/particles. Thus using this principle, 1 million argon atoms will have

1,000,000 atoms Argon * \frac{1mol Argon}{6.022*10^{23} atoms }

1.66*10^{-18} mol \\\\ of Argon
