INFORMATION:
Is given that:
- if you have a block of plastic and a block of copper that are the same mass and are placed in the sun for 10 minutes.
And after the 10 minutes copper has a higher temperature.
We must determine the reason.
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:
To determine it, we need to know the concept of specific heat
If the block of copper has a higher temperature after 10 minutes, that means copper needs less heat to raise its temperature.
So, plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly.
ANSWER:
The explanation for the copper having a higher temperature after 10 minutes in the sun, is that plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly. Since the copper has a lower specific heat, it will be heat quickly.
C would be the only logical answer if you really think about what it’s saying about the instrument.
Answer:
450g of coke (C)
Explanation:
Step 1:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
3C(s) + 2SO2(g) —> CS2(s) + 2CO2(g)
Step 2:
Determination of the mass of C that reacted and the mass of CS2 produced from the balanced equation.
This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of C = 12g/mol
Mass of C from the balanced equation = 3 x 12 = 36g
Molar Mass of CS2 = 12 + (32x2) = 12 + 64 = 76g/mol.
From the balanced equation above, 36g of C reacted to produce 76g of CS2.
Step 3:
Determination of the mass of C required to produce 950g of CS2. This is illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above, 36g of C reacted to produce 76g of CS2.
Therefore, Xg of C will react to produce 950g of CS2 i.e
Xg of C = (36 x 950)/76
Xg of C = 450g
From the calculations made above, 450g of coke (C) is needed to produce 950g of CS2.
The answer for the following problem is explained below.
- <u><em>Therefore 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.</em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
mass of methane = 6.00 × 10^-3 grams

→
+
Firstly balance the following equation:
Before balancing the equation:
→ 
After balancing the equation:

where;
represents methane molecule
represents oxygen molecule
represents carbon dioxide molecule
represents water molecule
+2
→
+ 2
16 grams of methane → 44 grams of carbon dioxide
6 × 10^-3 grams of methane → ?
= 
= 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.
<u><em>Therefore 16.5 × 10^-3 grams of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion.</em></u>
