*finished the test its B* In a science lab, a student heats up a chemical from 10 °C to 25 °C which requires thermal energy of 3

0000 J. If mass of the object is 40 g, the specific heat capacity of the chemical would be

Answer:

Yup! The answer is 50 J/g* °C

Explanation:

I also took the test but I know how to work out the problem for anyone who wants to know how to solve it.

Remember the formula q = m*C*ΔT

m = the mass in grams

C = the specific heat Capacity

ΔT = change in time

q = amount of energy

So, find out what was given and what we need to look for:

m = 40 g

C = ?

ΔT = we're heating up (the temperature increases) a chemical so it needs to be a positive number. 25 - 10 = 15 °C

q = 30000 Joules

Now, set up the equation:

q = m*C*ΔT

30000 = 40 * C * 15

Multiply 40 and 15 to get 600:

30000 = 600 * C

Divide both sides by 600 to get C by itself (plug this into your calculator):

30000/600 = 600 * C/600

You are left with 50 = C

Now, you just need to plug in the units to get B. 50 J/g* °C

I hope I helped clear up any confusion! :D

Construct an argument for or against the immediate introduction of fuel-cell cars. Include likely points of objection from those
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fuel Cell Cars are the vehicles built to run on hydrogen gas rather than running on the hydrocarbon.

Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds which are derived mostly from the crude oil. They are usually composed of Hydrogen and Carbon.

Fuel cell cars are much more better than the regular vehicles running on hydrocarbon in so many ways especially environmentally.

Listed below are some of the advantages of fuel cell cars over the regular vehicles

Fuel cells have a higher efficiency than diesel or gas engines.

Most fuel cells operate silently, compared to internal combustion engines. They are therefore ideally suited for use within buildings such as hospitals.

Fuel cells can eliminate pollution caused by burning fossil fuels; for hydrogen fuelled fuel cells, the only by-product at point of use is water.

If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water driven by renewable energy, then using fuel cells eliminates greenhouse gases over the whole cycle.

Fuel cells do not need conventional fuels such as oil or gas and can therefore reduce economic dependence on oil producing countries, creating greater energy security for the user nation.

Since hydrogen can be produced anywhere where there is water and a source of power, generation of fuel can be distributed and does not have to be grid-dependent.

The use of stationary fuel cells to generate power at the point of use allows for a decentralised power grid that is potentially more stable.

Question 18 (Essay Worth 8 points)
DENIUS [597]

Yes, the law of conservation of mass holds.

Explanation:

In every chemical reaction, mass is always conserved. This implies that in chemical reaction, the process proceeds maintaining the same set of atom in the same proportion without new ones forming.

  • From the description given, decomposition of the Silver carbonate will produce a silver residue with the given mass.
  • The other mass that seems lost can be examined to be given off as carbon dioxide gas which is the other product of the reaction and oxygen.
  • Therefore, since the products are silver, carbon dioxide and oxygen, the remaining mass is that of the carbon dioxide and oxygen. It is not lost.

Which atoms will bond when valence electrons
sergij07 [2.7K]
Since Oxygen is in group 16, this element has 6 valence electrons. Valence electrons like to become as stable as possible and similar to a noble gas, which has 8 electrons. You need to find an element that will transfer its atoms to the oxygen to make 8 electrons. Looking at the periodic table, Selenium is in group 16 and will have 6 valence electrons (6 + 6 = 12). This can't transfer electrons with Oxygen. Hydrogen is in group 1 with 1 valence electron (6 + 1 = 7). This can't transfer electrons with Oxygen. Strontium is in group 2 with 2 valence electrons (6 + 2 = 8). This will transfer electrons to Oxygen, making it the most stable.

The answer is O and Sr.

What is an emission spectra and how would you view one?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The emission spectrum is formed when the electrons of a particular atom absorb energy and are excited (in this case by heating), reaching higher energy levels.  

You can see it for example with an experiment where we light alcohol mixed with banana chips (it has potassium). The burning alcohol emits heat that makes potassium atoms excite and these in turn emit something red, orange light. If we add for example boric acid you see a green light.
