The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of iron (m) = 15.75 grams

heat (q) = 1097 J

initial temperature (t_{1}) = 25°C

final temperature (t_{2}) = 177°C

To find:

specific heat (c)

We know;

 c = q ÷ mΔT

where;

c represents the specific heat

q represents the heat

m represents the mass

t represents the temperature

c = \frac{1097}{15.75 * (177-25)}

c = 0.45 J/kg°C

<u><em>Therefore the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.45 J/kg°C.</em></u>

laiz [17]
The formula for the compounds in the reaction are as follows with the respective states 
Carbon monoxide - CO (g)
hydrogen - H₂ (g)
methane - CH₄(g)
water - H₂O (l)
reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas gives rise to methane and water
the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows
CO(g) + 3H₂(g)  --> CH₄(g) + H₂O(l)

At a birthday pool party, the temperature is 28.50°C and the atmospheric pressure is 755.4 mmHg. One of the decoration helium ba
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The volume of the balloon will be 5.11L

Explanation:

An excersise to solve with the Ideal Gases Law

First of all, let's convert the pressure in mmHg to atm

1 atm = 760 mmHg

760 mmHg ___ 1 atm

755.4 mmHg ____ (755.4 / 760) = 0.993 atm

922.3 mmHg ____ ( 922.3 / 760) = 1.214 atm

T° in K = 273 + °C

28.5 °C +273 = 301.5K

26.35°C + 273= 299.35K

P . V = n . R .T

First situation: 0.993atm . 6.25L = n . 0.082 . 301.5K

(0.993atm . 6.25L) / 0.082 . 301.5 = n

0.251 moles = n

Second situation:

1.214 atm . V = 0.251 moles . 0.082 . 301.5K

V = (0.251 moles . 0.082 . 301.5K) / 1.214 atm

V = 5.11L

2. A magnifying glass is an example of a _______ lens.
NISA [10]
<span>The answer to question 2 is C. A magnifying glass is an example of a plano-convex lens, where one side of the lens is flat and the other is a convex curve. The answer to question 3 is either B or C. A converging lens is curved on both sides and so the rays of light coming out of it converge at a point, which is known as the focal point. When the object is inside the focal point, the image is real and inverted. If it is inside the focal point, the image is virtual and upright. Therefore the image in this question will be upright. The focal length is the distance between the image that is being magnified and the centre of the magnifying lens. A real image can only be formed when the object is further away from the lens than the focal length. Therefore, in this question, the image is virtual, as the object is closer to the lens than the focal length. The answer to question 4 is D because the index of refraction cannot be less than 1. The answer to question 5 is D because only concave mirrors can produce real images; other types produce virtual images. For question 6, the answer is D. In the rainbow, each of the colours refracts at a slightly different angle; red has the smallest refractive index and violet the largest. Of the options, orange is closest to red. For question 12, A is the answer. A higher operating temperature is not a reason fluorescent lamps are better than incandescent lamps because they have a lower operating temperature. Question 15: all of these are characteristics of different electromagetic waves. For question 18, B is true - special care must be taken when low illuminance is required to reduce glare. The answer to question 19 is B - a compound microscope makes use of two lenses. For question 20, the answer is 5 meters away. The illuminance (E) is equal to light intensity (I) divided by the square distance from the light source (d). Therefore, 4 = 100/d squared. To switch this around, d squared is equal to 100/4 = 25. Then find the square root of 25, which is 5.</span>

how does volcanic activity affect climate are these effects examples of short term or long term climate change
san4es73 [151]
It can destroy a community which would make it dense and difficult to survive in and then stimulate a pioneer community starting with moss and ferns. which will start a new little ecosystem. So, these effects would be long term, though it can effect the climate in many different ways.
