Two substances A and B, initially at different temperatures, are thermally isolated from their surroundings and allowed to come

into thermal contact. The mass of substance A is twice the mass of substance B, but the specific heat capacity of substance B is four times the specific heat capacity of substance A. Which substance will undergo a larger change in temperature?

Answer:

B

Explanation:

For solving this we need a heat balance

Q_{a} = Q_{b}\\m_{a}*C_{a}*\Delta T_{a} = m_{b}*C_{b}*\Delta T_{b}

By changing the corresponding relations, we have

m_{a}*C_{a}*\Delta T_{a} = \frac{1}{2}m_{a}*4C_{a}*\Delta T_{b} \\\\\\

By cancelling similar factor, we obtain

\Delta T_{a} = 2 \Delta T_{b}\\\frac{\Delta T_{a}}{\Delta T_{b}} = 2\\

Which means that the change of temperature in A is twice the change of B

In the operation of the Heat Transfer Service Unit, one of the variables you can control is the rate of cooling water flowing ag
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

A. The rate of heat transfer through the material would increase.

Explanation:

To calculate the heat transfer in a heat exchanger you decide that there is not heat leakage to the surroundings, that means that  magnitude of the two transfer rates will be equal. Any heat lost by the hot fluid, is gained by the cold fluid. The equation that describes this is Q = m×Cp×dT

Where:

heat = mass flow ×specific heat capacity × temperature difference

So if we increase the rate of flow of cooling water and the other variables that ypu can control remain the same, the result is that the rate of heat transfer through the material would increase, as it is stated in option a.

The Element rhenium has two naturally occurring isotopes, 185 Re and 187 Re, with an average atomic mass of 186.207 amu. Rhenium
BigorU [14]
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, the equation becomes 186.207=187*0.626+185*x where x is the percent abundance of 185. The answer is 0.374 or 37.4%. This can also be obtained by 100%-62.6%= 37.4%.

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid. HCl(aq), as described by
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

0.88 g

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation to calculate the moles of chlorine gas produced as:-

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 805 Torr

V = Volume of the gas = 235 mL = 0.235 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{torr}mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of chlorine gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

805torr\times 0.235L=n\times 62.3637\text{ torrHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{805\times 0.235}{62.3637\times 298}=0.01017\ mol

According to the reaction:-

MnO_2+4HCl\rightarrow MnCl_2+2H_2O+Cl_2

1 mole of chlorine gas is produced when 1 mole of manganese dioxide undergoes reaction.

So,

0.01017 mole of chlorine gas is produced when 0.01017 mole of manganese dioxide undergoes reaction.

Moles of MnO_2 = 0.01017 moles

Molar mass of MnO_2 = 86.93685 g/mol

So,

Mass=Moles\times Molar\ mass

Applying values, we get that:-

Mass=0.01017moles \times 86.93685\ g/mol=0.88\ g

<u>0.88 g of MnO_2(s) should be added to excess HCl (aq) to obtain 235 mL of Cl_2(g) at 25 degrees C and 805 Torr.</u>
