Imagine you are at a local water park on a hot summer day and your feet begin to get hot from the cement. Looking ahead, you not

ice that there are two paths you can take to your favorite waterslide. One path is comprised of sand while the other path consists of water. You opt for the water path because you know it will be cooler on your feet. Assuming that both paths were exposed to the same heat source (the sun) and that both paths have the same mass, explain why water does not get as hot as sand.

Answer:

Sand has less specific heat than water.

Explanation:

Specific Heat is amount of heat needed per unit mass, to raise temperature by 1 degree celsius.

More specific heat means more heat energy needed to increase temperature. It implies - more time needed to absorb heat, increase temperature; and also more time needed to lose its heat.

Less specific heat means less heat energy needed to increase temperature. It implies - less time needed to absorb heat, increase temperature; and also less time needed to lose its heat.

Sand has less specific heat than water. So, it needs less heat absorption to increase temperature by per unit (celsius) ; than water. Hence, same level of heat to both sand & water ; increase temperature of sand more than water, & make it more hot.

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of gallium, ga, that contains 40 neutrons per atom. Replace the question marks with the
Cerrena [4.2K]

The nuclear symbol of an element have three parts namely:  

  1. the symbol of an element
  2. mass number of the element
  3. atomic number of the element

The general representation is as:

_{Z}^{A}X

where X is the chemical symbol of the element, A is mass number of the element that is total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom, and Z is atomic number of the element that is number of protons in the atom.

Element = Gallium, Ga    (given)

Number of neutrons = 40 (given)

Let the nuclear symbol be _{?}^{?}Ga. So, we need to determine the values of "?" in the symbol.

Atomic number of Gallium, Ga = 31

Since, atomic number = Number of protons.

So, number of protons of Gallium, Ga = 31

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Substituting the values:

Mass number = 31+40 = 71

So, the nuclear symbol is _{31}^{71}Ga.

The molar mass of glucose is 180 grams per mole (g/mol). Which of the following procedures should you carry out to make a 1 M so
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

You need to dissolve 144 gr of glucose in 0.8 liters of water to have a 1 M solution.

Explanation:

Molarity is the amount of moles per liter of solution --> moles/liters. We are trying to get a 1 molar solution and we also know the liters (0,8L) so

1\frac {moles-of-glucose}{liters-of-water} =\frac{X moles-of-glucose}{0.8 liters-of-water} \\

1\frac{Moles-of-glucose}{liters-of-water } * 0.8 liters of water

after canceling liters of water you get 0,8 moles of glucose.

180 \frac{grams-of-glucose}{mol-of-glucose}*0.8 mol- of- glucose=144 grams-of-glucose
