What is the specific heat of a substance?

Chemistry
1 answer:
belka [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D) The amount of heat a substance can hold.

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

The substances with higher value of specific heat capacity require more heat to raise the temperature by one degree as compared the substances having low value of specific heat capacity.

For example,

The specific heat capacity of oil is 1.57 j/g. K and for water is 4.18 j/g.K. So, water take a time to increase its temperature by one degree by absorbing more heat while oil will heat up faster by absorbing less amount of heat.

What is the molecular formula for C5H7 if its molar mass is 536 g/mol?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(C5H7)8

Explanation:

It's empirical formula is given as; C5H7

Molar mass of carbon(C) = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen(H) = 1 g/mol

We are told that it's molar mass is 536 g/mol.

To find the molecular formula;

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Thus;

n = 536/((12 × 5) + (1 × 7))

n = 8

Thus;

Molecular formula = (C5H7)8
