Answer:

c=2.0769\  \frac{J}{g\ \textdegree C}

Explanation:

-Specific heat capacity is given by the formula:

q=mc\bigtriangleup T

Where:

q is the heat gained or loosed by the substance

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat of the substance

\bigtriangleup T is the change in temperature

#We make c the subject of the formula and substitute to solve for it:

q=mc\bigtriangleup T\\\\c=\frac{q}{m\bigtriangleup T}\\\\\bigtriangleup T=(57-32)\textdegree C=25\textdegree C\\\\\therefore c=\frac{6.75\times 10^4J}{1.3\times 1000\ g\times 25\textdegree  C}\\\\=2.0769 \ \frac{J}{g\ \textdegree C}

Hence, the specific heat capacity of the ice is 2.0769 \frac{J}{g\ \textdegree C}

A decrease in height of a column in a mercury barometer means that
insens350 [35]

Answer:

increase in the air pressure

Explanation:

The barometer is a device that is used for measuring the air pressure. It is a device that uses mercury in order to show the air pressure. The mercury reacts easily to the changes in the air pressure, so it is a nice indicator for it. The air pressure can simply be defined as the weight of the air masses, and the pressure they make it because of it on the objects. The lower the air pressure, the higher up the mercury will go, as it will experience less pressure from the air, and the higher the air pressure, the lower the mercury will drop, as it will experience more pressure from the air.

When methane ( CH4 ) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reac
slega [8]
<h2>Answer:</h2>1.33*10^{-2}grams

<h2>Explanations</h2>

The complete balanced equation for the given reaction is expressed as;

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

Given the following parameters

Mass of CH4 = 5.90×10^−3 g = 0.0059grams

Determine the moles of methane

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{mass}{molar\text{ mass}} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=\frac{0.0059}{16.04} \\ moles\text{ of CH}_4=0.000368moles \end{gathered}

According to stoichimetry, 1 mole of methane produces 2 moles of water, hence the moles of water required will be:

\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of H}_2O=\frac{2}{1}\times0.000368 \\ moles\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736moles \end{gathered}

Determine the mass of water produced

\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ of H}_2O=moles\times molar\text{ mass} \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.000736\times18.02 \\ Mass\text{ of H}_2O=0.0133grams=1.33\times10^{-2}grams \end{gathered}

Therefore the mass of water produced from the complete combustion of 5.90×10−3 g of methane is 1.33 * 10^-2grams

Significant Digits and Scientific Notation Part 1: Determine the number of significant digits in each number and write out the s
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

1. 6 significant digits. 2. 2 significant digits. 3. 8 significant digits. 4. 4 significant digits. 5. 8 significant digits. 6. 7 significant digits. 7. 2 significant digits.

Explanation:

All nonzero digits are significant. All zeros before nonzeros are insignificant. All zeros after nonzeros are insignificant unless they are made for precision of some data. So 405000 may have 3 or 6 significant figures. But usually all zero figures after significant digits are significant.

1. What causes wind? *
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

it's the uneven heating of the region's of the troposphere by the sun the sun warms the air at the equator more than the air at the poles. it causes convention currents large scale patterns of winds that move heat and moisture around the globe. as air rises expands and cools water vapor condenses and clouds develop.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)
