Answer:

Water is the best insulator.

Explanation:

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K.

<em>A good insulator has a high specific heat capacity.</em>

This means that it absorbs more heat for raising its temperature by 1 K.

This is a property of a good insulator.

Among the given materials, water has the highest specific heat capacity.

Hence, water is the best insulator.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Low value for copper recovery

Explanation:

The percentage recovery is obtained from;

Percent recovery = amount of substance you actually collected / amount of substance you were supposed to collect × 100

Note that the fact that some of the copper nitrate solution splashed out of the beaker means that some amount copper has been lost from the system. This loss of copper leads to a lower value of copper recovered from solution.

What happens when an electron absorbs energy

Eduardwww [97]

When an electron absorbs energy, it will move up from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, called the "excited state" of the negatively-charged subatomic particle.<span> However, the absorbed energy is released within a small interval of time and the electron moves down to its "ground state."</span>

How much water would be needed to completely dissolve 1.52 L of the gas at a pressure of 730 torr and a temperature of 21 ∘C?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.4 L.

Explanation:

The mentioned question can be solved by using the equation,

C = K × Pgas--------(i)

Here K is the Henry law constant whose value is 0.158 mol/L/atm, C is the concentration of the gas in liquid state, and Pgas is the partial pressure of the gas.

Now to find the volume of water, the formula to be used is,

PV = nRT-----------(ii)

Here P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume, R is the universal gas constant whose value is 0.082 Latm/mol/K and T is the temperature.

PgasV = nRT

Pgas = nRT/Vgas

The value of Pgas is inserted in equation (i) we get,

C = K × nRT/Vgas

It is to be noted that C = n/V, here n is the no. of the moles and V is the volume of liquid.

n/Vliquid = K × nRT/Vgas

1/Vliquid = KRT/Vgas

Vliquid = Vgas/KRT--------------(iii)

Based on the given information, the volume of the gas is 1.52 L, the value of K is 0.158 mol/L/atm, the value of R is 0.082 Latm/mol/K and value of T is 21 degree C or 273 + 21 = 294 K.

Now putting the values in equation (iii) we get,

Vliquid = 1.52 L / 0.158 × 0.082 × 294

Vliquid = 1.52 / 3.809

Vliquid = 0.399 or 0.4 L

Hence, the volume of water required to dissolve 1.52 L of gas is 0.4 L.

a. the ratio of mass to charge of an electron

Explanation:

The experiment permitted the direct measurement of the ratio of mass to charge of an electron.

The charge to mass ratio of an electron was determine by accelerating a beam of cathode rays in magnetic and electric fields.
No matter the gas used in the tube or the nature of the material of the electrodes, the rays were found to have constant charge to mass ratio of 1.76 x 10¹¹coulombkg⁻¹.
