Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Blackbody radiation

Explanation:

This phenomenon described by Susan is know as black body radiation. Different materials by color reacts to incident radiation on them in diverse manner.

  • A white surface will reflect all the wavelength of light incident on it.
  • A black surface will absorb all the wavelength of light on it.

This absorption causes the black surface to be hotter compared to other surfaces.

In the laboratory a student finds that it takes 44.0 Joules to increase the temperature of 10.6 grams of solid zinc from 24.9 to
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

44.0 J needed

Mass of solid zinc = 10.6 grams

Initial temperature = 24.9 °C

Final temperature = 36.4 °C

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the specific heat of zinc

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with Q = heat (in Joule) = 44.0 J

⇒ with m = the mass of the solid zinc = 10.6 grams

⇒ with c = the specific heat of the zinc = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2-T1 = 36.4 °C - 24.9 °C = 11.5 °C

44.0 J = 10.6 grams * c * 11.5°C

c = 44.0 J / (10.6g * 11.5 °C)

c = 0.361 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

Kc= concentration  of  product  divided  by  concentration   of  reactant
NO +  NO2  ---->  N2O3

Kc =(N2O3)  /  (No)(NO2)

Kc= ( 1.3  )/{ (3.9)(3.8) }

An object has a density of 10.00 g/mL. If the object has a volume of<br> 25.00 ml, what is the mass?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>250 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of object = 25 mL

Density = 10 g/mL

The mass of the object is

mass = 25 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>250 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
