Calculate the amount of energy in Joules required to change 10 g of solid mercury at its melting point to mercury vapor at the b

oiling point. The m_p, b_p, and specific heat of mercury are -39^degree C, - 375^degree C, and 0.140 J/g^degree C, respectively. Compare with the amount of heat needed to change 10 g of ice at 0^degree C to steam at 100^degree C.

Q: Calculate the amount of energy in Joules required to change 10 g of solid mercury at its melting point to mercury vapor at the boiling point. The m_p, b_p, and specific heat of mercury are -39^degree C,  375^degree C, and 0.140 J/g^degree C, respectively. Compare with the amount of heat needed to change 10 g of ice at 0^degree C to steam at 100^degree C.

Answer:

The heat required = 575.4 J

Q₂ > Q₁ (The amount of energy required by the mercury is small than the amount of energy required by the water.)

Explanation:

Q₁ = c₁m₁(T₂-T₁)....................... Equation 1

Where Q₁ = amount of heat or Energy. c₁ = specific heat capacity of mercury, m₁ = mass of mercury, T₂ = Temperature of mercury at boiling point, T₁ = Temperature of mercury at melting point.

<em>Given: m₁ = 10 g , c₁ = 0.14 J/g.°C, T₂ = 372 °C, T₁ = -39 °C</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>Q₁ = 10×0.14 (372+39)</em>

<em>Q₁ = 1.4(411)</em>

Q₁ = 575.4 J.

Thus the heat required = 575.4 J

Q₂ = c₂m₂(θ₂-θ₁)....................... Equation 2

Where Q₂ = heat required to change the temperature of water from 0 °C to 100 °C, c₂ = specific heat capacity of water, m₂ = mass of water, θ₂ = Final temperature of water, θ₁ = Initial Temperature of water.

<em>Given: m₁ = 10 g, </em>θ₂ = 100 °C, θ₁ = 0 °C

Constant: c₂ = 4.2 J/g.°C

Substituting these values into equation 2

Q₂ = 10(4.2)(100-0)

Q₂ = 4200 J.

Comparing Q₁ and Q₂,

Q₂ > Q₁

Hence the amount of energy required by the mercury is small than the amount of energy required by the water.

An unsaturated solution is formed when 80 grams of a salt is dissolved in 100 grams of water at 40. This salt could be ?
LekaFEV [45]
A simple way to go about this is that we look at the solubility curve, on the x axis we first look at the temperature and then the corresponding value of solute/100g H2O on the y axis, from the 4 curves above only NaNO3 has a curve that can accommodate  80g of salt at 40 without being Saturated since at 40 degrees it can accommodate 105g of salt to become completely Saturated.

List all orbitals from 1s through 5s according to increasing energy for multielectron atoms. rank orbitals from smallest to larg
GaryK [48]

Answer:

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s

Explanation:

You can predict the order of orbital energies by constructing a diagram as shown below.

Follow the arrows to get the orbitals in order of increasing energy.

The order is

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s
