Answer:

297 J

Explanation:

The key to this problem lies with aluminium's specific heat, which as you know tells you how much heat is needed in order to increase the temperature of

1 g

of a given substance by

1

∘

C

.

In your case, aluminium is said to have a specific heat of

0.90

J

g

∘

C

.

So, what does that tell you?

In order to increase the temperature of

1 g

of aluminium by

1

∘

C

, you need to provide it with

0.90 J

of heat.

But remember, this is how much you need to provide for every gram of aluminium in order to increase its temperature by

1

∘

C

. So if you wanted to increase the temperature of

10.0 g

of aluminium by

1

∘

C

, you'd have to provide it with

1 gram

However, you don't want to increase the temperature of the sample by

This means that you're going to have to use that much heat for every degree Celsius you want the temperature to change. You can thus say that

Therefore, the total amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of

10.0 g

of aluminium by

will be

I'll leave the answer rounded to three sig figs, despite the fact that your values only justify two sig figs.

For future reference, this equation will come in handy

q

m

c

- the specific heat of the substance

Δ

T

- the change in temperature, defined as the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature of the sample

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Percent Composition

1. Find the molar mass of all the elements in the compound in grams per mole.

2. Find the molecular mass of the entire compound.

3. Divide the component's molar mass by the entire molecular mass.

4. You will now have a number between 0 and 1. Multiply it by 100% to get percent composition.

What happens when you run liquid air or nitrogen through a gas turbine
lidiya [134]

Answer:

When a low cost fuel is available, internal combustion drivers surpass all others in compactness and low cost of installation and operation. For example, gas compression on a large scale has long been done with integral engine compressors.
