If it takes 22974 J to heat 96.5 g of a substance from 13.46°C to 73.86 °C, what is the specific heat of the substance?

yulyashka [42]

The specific heat capacity, C, of the substance is 3.94 $\frac{J}{g-^oC}$ . To raise one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius, a specific amount of heat must be absorbed. This is called the specific heat of the substance. The higher the specific heat of a substance, the more energy is needed to increase its temperature and vice versa.

<u>Further Explanation: </u>

The specific heat capacity, C, of a substance is related to the amount of substance and the temperature change using the following equation

$q \ = \ mC(T_{f}-T_{i})$

where

q = amount of heat absorbed (usually in J)

m = amount of substance (in g)

C = specific heat capacity (in $\frac{J}{g-^oC}$ )

T(f) = final temperature

T(i) = initial temperature.

To answer the problem, we sort the given information:

q = 22974 J (5 significan figures)

m = 96.5 g (3 significant figures)

C = ?

T(f) = 73.86 °C (4 significant figures)

T(i) = 13.46 °C (4 significant figures)

Then, to find C, rearrange the equation:

$C \ = \frac{q}{m(T_{f} \ - \ T_{i})}$

Plug in the values to the equation above to get the value of C.

$C \ = \ \frac{22974 \ J}{96.5 \ g \ (73.86 \ \ -13.46 \°C)} \\C \ = \ \frac{22974 \ J}{96.5 \ g \ (60.4\°C)} \\C \ = \ \frac{22974 \ J}{5828.6 \ g -\°C} \\C \ = \ 3.941598 \ \frac{J}{g -\°C} \\$

Since the least number of significant figures in the given is 3, then the final answer must have 3 significant figures, too. Therefore,

$\boxed {C = 3.94 \ \frac{J}{ g -\°C}}$

Iodine is blue-black, crystalline, and solid. It sublimes to a violet-colored gas and reacts with aluminum and many other metals

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

blue-black PHYSICAL PROPERTY
crystalline PHYSICAL PROPERTY
solid PHYSICAL PROPERTY
sublimes to a violet-colored gas PHYSICAL PROPERTY
reacts with aluminum and many other metals CHEMICAL PROPERTY

Explanation:

Chemical properties are visible through chemical reactions, in which the chemical identity changes to form new substances. On the other hand, physical properties are evident without a change in the identity of a substance.

<em />

<em>Which of these five properties are physical and which are chemical?</em>

blue-black PHYSICAL PROPERTY
crystalline PHYSICAL PROPERTY
solid PHYSICAL PROPERTY
sublimes to a violet-colored gas PHYSICAL PROPERTY
reacts with aluminum and many other metals CHEMICAL PROPERTY

Convert 732.0 mmHg to atm

enot [183]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

To solve the question we use the following conversion

That's

1 mmHg $\cong$ 0.0013 atm

So we have

If 1 mmHg $\cong$ 0.0013 atm

Then 732 mmHg will be

732 × 0.0013 atm

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

H2SO4 is added to a large beaker of water. How is the solution different from the original water?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer is: A) The solution turns blue litmus to red.

Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).

Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:

H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).

When solution turns phenolphthalein pink, it means it is basic (pH>7).

Sulfuric acid has more hydrogen ions (H⁺) and less hydroxide ions (OH⁻) than water.
