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.

You determine the volume of your plastic bag (simulated human stomach) is 1.08 L. How many grams of NaHCO3 (s) are required to f

Answer:

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 753.5 mmHg = 0.9914 atm

( $1 atm = 760 mmHg$ )

V = Volume of gas = 1.08 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 24.5 °C= 297.65 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$(0.9914 atm)\times 1.08 L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 297.65K\\\\n=0.0438 mole$

Percentage recovery of carbon dioxide gas = 49.4%

Actual moles of carbon dioxide formed: 49.4% of 0.0438 mole

$\frac{49.4}{100}\times 0.0438 mol=0.02164 mol$

$2NaHCO_3\righarrow Na_2CO_3+H_2O+CO_2$

According to reaction ,1 mol is obtained from 2 moles of sodium bicarbonate.

Then 0.02164 moles f carbon dioxide will be obtained from:

$\frac{2}{1}\times 0.02164 mol=0.04328 mol$

Mass of 0.04328 moles pf sodium bicarbonate:

0.04328 mol × 84 g/mol = 3.636 g

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

Julli [10]

Answer:

moles = 0.093 moles

Explanation:

In this case, we know that this reaction is taking plave in a vessel that has a 730 torr of total pressure.

The total pressure is a value obtained by:

Pt = Pwater + PO2

We need to know the pressure of O2, because then, with stoichiometry, we can calculate the moles of KClO3

The pressure of oxygen is:

PO2 = 730 - 26 = 704 Torr

Now, this pressure is in Torr, and we need to convert it to Atm, so:

704 Torr / 760 Torr = 0.9263 atm

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

With this expression, we will calculate the moles of O2, and then, the moles of KClO3:

n = PV/RT

R = 0.082 L atm /K mol

P = 0.9263 atm

V = 3.72 L

T = 27 + 273 = 300 K

Replacing the data:

n = 0.9263 * 3.72 / 300 * 0.082

n = 0.14 moles

Finally, by stoichiometry, we know that 2 moles of KClO3 produces 3 moles of O2, so:

moles of KClO3 = 0.14 * 2/3 = 0.093 moles of KClO3
