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

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal
suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

m_c = The center of mass of the stick = \frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m

\omega = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)

As the energy in the system is conserved

mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s
