You are given an unknown solid substance of mass 500 g and you want to estimate its specific heat. unfortunately, you don’t have

a thermometer handy. instead, you throw the substance into a bucket of boiling water and wait until its in equilibrium with the boiling water. you then remove the hot substance from the boiling water and put it into a beaker with 400 ml ethyl alcohol at room temperature. immediately after adding the hot substance into the beaker, the volume scale reads 430 ml. after a while, when the alcohol and the substance reach equilibrium, the volume scale reads 429 ml.
What is the specific heat of the substance?
Hint: Assume that no heat was neither lost during the transfer nor to the environment. You can neglect the mass of the beaker. Room temperature is approximately 20 deg C and the density of ethyl alcohol is 789 kg/m^3.

A) 385 J/(mol K)
B) 4,057 J/mol K)
C) 2,090 J/(mol K)
D) 449 J/(mol K)
E) 7,500 J/(mol K)

Answer:

Option C) 2,090 J/(mol K)

Explanation:

Data:

Volume in the beaker = 429 ml

temperature  = 20° C

Density = 789 kg/m³

Equilibrium reading = 429

volume change = 29 ml

                          = 0.029 L

Energy change = mcΔT

                       U + PΔV

A) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a

     l_o  =52 \  m

b

      l = 37.13 \ LY

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  speed of the spaceship is  v  =  0.800c

    Here  c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0*10^{8} \ m/s

    The  length is  l = 31.2 \  m

     The  distance of the star for earth is d = 145 \  light \  years

     The  speed is v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}

     

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

       l  =  l_o  \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}

Now the when at rest the length is  l_o

So  

      l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }

      l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }

      l_o=52 \  m

Considering b  

  Applying above equation

            l  =l_o \sqrt{1 -  [\frac{v}{c } ]}

Here l_o  =145 \  LY(light \ years )

So

           l=145 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }

            l =145 *  \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }

            l = 37.13 \ LY
