Answer:

270 Joules

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity equation will be used for this question i.e.

Q = m. c. ΔT

Where; Q = Amount of heat

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of

substance

ΔT = change in temperature

(Final temp - initial temp)

However, for this unknown metal, we need to find the specific heat first by saying; C = Q / mΔT

Q= 135J, C=?, m= 10g, ΔT = (40-25 = 15°C)

C = 135 / 15 × 10

C = 135/150

C = 0.9 J/g°C

If the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.9 J/g°C, then at a mass of 20.0g, and a ΔT of 15°C, the amount of heat needed is:

Q = m. c. ΔT

Q = 20 × 0.9 × (40-25)

Q = 18 × 15

Q = 270J

270 Joules of heat is needed to increase the temperature of 20g of the metal from 25 - 40°C

Which two substances bind using a lock-and-key mechanism?

Katen [24]

<span>The answer is the first option. Enzyme and substrate bind using a lock-and-key mechanism. Enzymes act on a specific substrate and a substrate needs a specific enzyme, this is what is called a lock-and-key mechanism. Enzymes and substtates are like a key and a lock, one is for each other.</span>

Compare the root mean square speeds of O2 and UF6 at 65 degree Celsius

gayaneshka [121]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The root mean square speeds of O₂ and UF₆ is 513m/s and 155 m/s respectively.

<h3>Solution and Explanation:</h3>

To find how fast molecules or particles of gases move at a particular temperature, the root mean square speed is calculated.
Root mean square speed of a gas is calculated by using the formula;

$Root mean square=\sqrt{ \frac{3RT}{M}$

Where R is the molar gas constant, T is the temperature and M is the molar mass of gas in Kg.

<h3>Step 1: Root mean square speed from O₂</h3>

Molar mass of Oxygen is 32.0 g/mol or 0.032 kg/mol

Temperature = 65 degrees Celsius or 338 K

Molar gas constant = 8.3145 J/k.mol

$Root mean square speed = \sqrt\frac{(3)(8.3145)(338K)}{0.032}$

$= 513.289 m/s$

<h3>Step 2: Root mean square speed of UF₆ </h3>

The molar mass of UF₆ is 352 g/mol or 0.352 kg/mol

$Root mean square speed = \sqrt\frac{(3)(8.3145)(338K)}{0.352}$

$= 154.762m/s$

Therefore; the root mean square speeds of O₂ and UF₆ is 513m/s and 155 m/s respectively.

which of the following true? a_volcanoes and earthquakes often near the plate boundaries. b_volcanoes occur whereve there are ta

pentagon [3]

The answer is A. Volcanoes and earthquakes often occur near place boundaries. Volcanoes are exit points for heat from the Earth's core. And Earthquakes are caused by the tectonic places colliding along another one. For example one tectonic plate would be slowly moving south, and another next to it could collide with the South-going plate while going North, and that is what causes Earthquakes.
