If an endothermic process absorbs 256j how many kilocalories are absorbed

2 answers:

8 0

There are several units for expressing energy, Most common are joules and kilocalories.

The conversion factor of joule to kilocalories is
1 kilo calorie = 4184 J
∴ x kilo calorie = 256 J

x = $\frac{256}{4184} = 0.0611$ kilo calories

Thus, 256 J = 0.0611 kilocalories

Answer: 0.0612 kcalories

Explanation:

Endothermic processes are those processes in which heat is absorbed and exothermic processes are those processes in which heat is released.

Standard units for heat measurement are Joules and calories wherein

1 joule = 0.239 calorie.

As 1 Joule is equivalent to 0.239 calorie

256 Joules are equivalent to= $\frac{0.239}{1}\times 256=61.2calories$

Now 1 cal = 0.001 kcalories

Therefore 61.2 calories= $\frac{0.001}{1}\times 61.2=0.0612kcal$

For each molecule, specify the polarity of the bonds and the overall polarity of the molecule.

olasank [31]

Each Be–Cl bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (0) indicate that this molecule has a linear geometry. The bonds in a linear molecule are symmetric, and so their dipoles cancel out.

Each O–H bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (2) indicate that this molecule has a bent geometry. The bonds in a bent molecule are asymmetric, and so their dipoles do not cancel out. In addition, the asymmetric arrangement of the lone pairs on O further contribute to the dipole of this molecule.

An O–O or O=O bond is nonpolar because the two atoms have the same electronegativity. Because there is no overall polarity in O2, the molecule is nonpolar.

If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest? Give

tankabanditka [31]

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Given:

The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.

To find:

The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.

Solution:

The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}K_bT\\\\K.E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 330 K\\\\K.E=6.381\times 10^{-21} J$

The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy

The potential energy at height h = $P.E = 6.381\times 10^{-21} J$
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m

$m= \frac{ 28.0134 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=4.652\times 10^{-23} g\\\\1g=0.001kg\\\\m=4.652\times 10^{-23}\times 0.001 kg\\\\=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg$

The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The potential energy is given by:

$P.E=mgh$

$6.381\times 10^{-21} J=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times h\\\\h=\frac{6.381\times 10^{-21} J}{4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2}\\\\h=13,996.6 m\\\\1 m = 0.001 km\\\\h=13,996.6 m=h=13,996.6\times 0.001 k m\\\\=13.9966 km \approx 14 km$

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

What is the purpose of galvanization?

frutty [35]

Galvanizing protects from rust in a number of ways: It forms a barrier that prevents corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron. The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.
