Which of the following is accurate when discussing specific heat?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]4 years ago
5 0
<span>The accurate description of specific heat is that it is the amount of heat required in order to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a specific substance by one degree Celsius. For example, the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/gC which means that 4.18 J of heat is required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C. </span>

If this decay has a half life of 2.60 years, what mass of 72.5 g of sodium 22 will remain after 15.6 years
Vlad1618 [11]

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g

For which of the following reactions is S° &gt; 0.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The entropy of the given reactions increases (S° > 0):

  • 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) ----> 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) ---> S° > 0.
  • NH4Cl(s) ----> NH3(g) + HCl(g) ---> S° > 0.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy measure how disordered a system is. It a measure of how dispersed or random the total energy of a system is. The symbol for entropy is S.

A system in which entropy increases is one in which S° > 0.

The entropy of a system decreases when S° < 0.

Entropy of a system increases (S° > 0) if any change results in an increase in temperature, increase in number of molecules, or an increase in volume.

Considering the given systems, the entropy changes is as follows:

  • 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) ----> 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) ---> S° > 0.
  • 2CO2(g) + N2(g) ---->2CO(g) + 2NO(g) --> no change
  • 2N2(g) + O2(g) -----> 2N2O(g)  ---> decreases
  • S (s,rhombic) + 2CO(g) ----> SO2(g) + 2C (s,graphite) ---> no change
  • NH4Cl(s) ----> NH3(g) + HCl(g) ---> S° > 0.

In conclusion, an increase in volume and moles of substances results in entropy increase.

How many moles of CO2 are produced when 1 mole wax C31H64 is burned?<br><br> 31 32 64 or 47
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

31 moles

Explanation:

The balanced combustion reaction of the wax, C_{31}H_{64} is shown below as:

C_{31}H_{64}+47O_2\rightarrow 31CO_2+32H_2O

As seen from the reaction,

1 mole of wax, C_{31}H_{64} on combustion produces 31 moles of carbon dioxide, CO_2

<u>Hence, moles of CO_2 when 1 mole of wax, C_{31}H_{64} is burnt = 31 moles</u>
