Answer:

                     Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Explanation:

                      Amount of energy required by known amount of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree is called specific heat capacity.

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

                                                 Q  =  m Cp ΔT   ----- (1)

Where;

           Q  =  Heat  =  640 J

           m  =  mass  =  125 g

           Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  <u>??</u>

           ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  43.6 °C  -  22 °C  =  21.6 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

                                Cp  =  Q / m ΔT

Putting values,

                                Cp  =  640 J / (125 g × 21.6 °C)

                                Cp  =  0.237 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹

Discuss two physical and two chemical properties of Nitrogen​
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Nitrogen gas (chemical symbol N) is generally inert, nonmetallic, colorless, odorless and tasteless. Its atomic number is 7, and it has an atomic weight of 14.0067. Nitrogen has a density of 1.251 grams/liter at 0 C and a specific gravity of 0.96737, making it slightly lighter than air.

Which type of galaxy forms when two other galaxies crash into each other? They are small galaxies made up of bright, young stars
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

elliptical galaxy

Explanation

:The combination of the two galaxies then forms what appears to be an elliptical galaxy as the arms begin to disappear. The merger of gasses creates new stars, and the new shape becomes more elliptical, globular, or sometimes irregular.

1. 90.0 mL of distilled water is added to a 10.0mL sample of 0.150mol/L sodium
aniked [119]

Answer: dilute

Explanation:

A concentrated solution which is used to prepare solutions of lower concentrations by diluting it with addition of water.

A dilute solution is one which contains lower concentration.

Using Molarity equation:

M_1 =concentration of stock solution = 0.150 mol/L

V_1 = volume of stock solution = 10.0 ml

M_2 = concentration of dilute solution = ?

V_2 = volume of dilute solution = (10.0+90.0) ml = 100.0 ml

0.150\times 10.0=M_2\times 100.0

M_2=0.015mol/L

As the concentration is less than the original concentration, the solution is termed as dilute.

When temperatures are below freezing, the temperature at which air becomes saturated leading to the formation of frost is the
12345 [234]

Answer:

The answer is Frost Point.

Explanation:

The temperature to which the air must be cooled, with constant pressure, to reach saturation (in relation to liquid water), is called the dew point. The dew point gives a measure of the water vapor content in the air. The higher, the greater the concentration of water vapor in the air. However, when cooling produces saturation at a temperature of 0 ° C or less, the temperature is called a frost point. The water vapor is deposited as frost on a surface whose temperature is below the dew point.
