How much heat (in Joules) is needed to raise the temperature of 257g of ethanol (cethanol=2.4 J/g°C) by 49.1°C?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Q = 30284.88 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ethanol = 257 g

Cp = 2.4 j/g.°C

Chnage in temperature = ΔT = 49.1°C

Heat required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

Q = 257 g× 2.4 j/g.°C × 49.1 °C

Q = 30284.88 j

Determine whether the following statements describe chemical or physical properties: (a) Oxygen gas supports combustion. (b) Fer
sdas [7]

Explanation:

A change that does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, mass, density, volume etc are all physical changes.

On the other hand, a change that brings change in chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical change.

For example, combustion, toxicity, reactivity etc are all chemical changes.

Hence, following statements are identified as chemical or physical changes as follows.

(a) Oxygen gas supports combustion : Chemical change

(b) Fertilizers help to increase agricultural production : Chemical change

(c) Water boils below 100^{o}C on top of a mountain : Physical change

(d) Lead is denser than aluminum : Physical change

(e) Uranium is a radioactive element : Chemical change
