Water has a higher SHC as it would be cooler than the sand meaning it requires more energy to reach the same temperature 
emmainna [20.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The sand has a higher specific heat

Explanation:

The answer is that the sand would have a higher specific heat than water because water requires a lot of heat to raise its temperature while sand needs less heat to change it as water has a high heat capacity that allows it to maintain its temperature within a range.

The reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas produces C2H5Cl as its main product (along with HCl). In addition, the react
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The percent yield of  chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

Explanation:

C_2H_6+Cl_2\rightarrow C_2H_5Cl+HCl

Moles of ethane = \frac{300.0 g}{30 g/mol}=10 mol

Moles of chlorine gases =\frac{650.0 g}{71 .0 g/mol}=9.1549 mol

As we can see that 1 mol of ethane react with 1 mole of chlorine gas.the 10 moles will require 10 mole of chlorine gas, but only 9.1549 moles of chlorine gas is present.

This means that chlorine gas is in limiting amount and amount of formation of chloro-ethane will depend upon amount of chlorine gas.

According to reaction , 1 mol of chloro ethane gives 1 mol of chloro-ethane.

Then 9.1549 moles of chlorien gas will give:

\frac{1}{1}\times 9.1549 mol=9.1549 mol of chloro-ethane

Mass of 9.1549 moles of chloro-ethane:

9.1549 mol × 64.5 g/mol = 590.4910 g

Theoretical yield of  chloro-ethane: 590.4910 g

Given experimental yield of chloro-ethane: 490.0 g

\% Yield=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

\%Yield (C_2H_5Cl)=\frac{490.0 g}{590.4910 g}\times 100=82.98\%

The percent yield of  chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

What is the minimum (non-zero) thickness of a benzene (n = 1.501) thin film that will result in constructive interference when v
ad-work [718]

Explanation:

At each reflecting surface (benzene and glass) there will be 180 degree phase change.

Now, for constructive interference the optical path in benzene is \lambda.

Formula to calculate thickness of a benzene thin film is as follows.

     Optical path length through benzene (\lambda) = 2 \times n \times d

Hence, substituting the given values into the above formula as follows.

    Optical path length through benzene = 2 \times n \times d

                   d = \frac{\text{Optical path length through benzene}}{2 \times n}

                       = \frac{\lambda}{2 \times n}  

                       = \frac{615 \times 10^{-9}}{2 \times 1.501}   (as 1 nm = 10^{-9}m

                       = 204.9 m          

Thus, we can conclude that minimum thickness of benzene is 204.9 m.

A sample of a gas in a balloon has a volume of 2.22 L and temperature of 23.9 °C. Calculate the volume when the temperature is r
nignag [31]

Answer:

Volume = 4.28L

Explanation:

Charles's gas law relates the volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure. This law says that at constant pressures if we raise the temperature of a gas it will expand and if we reduce the temperature the volume will decrease. The formula is as follows:

{\displaystyle {\frac {V_{1}}{T_{1}}}={\frac {V_{2}}{T_{2}}}}

So, the initial conditions are 2.22L and 23.9 °C ant the final conditions are 46.1 °C we replace them in the equation. And then we solve it.

{\displaystyle {\frac {2.22}{23.9}}={\frac {V_{2}}{46.1}}

{\displaystyle {\frac {2.22}{23.9}} {46.1}={V_{2}

{\displaystyle {4.28}={V_{2}
