How much heat, in joules, must be added to a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature
svp [43]

Answer:

50,849.25 Joules

Explanation:

The amount of heat, Q, required to raise the temperature of a body with mass, m, and specific heat capacity, c is given by:

Q = mcΔT, where ΔT represents the change in temperature.

In the case of the iron block:

m = 75 g

c = 0.449 J/g °C

ΔT = 1535 - 25 = 1510 °C

Therefore,

Q = 75 g x 0.449 J/g °C x 1510 °C

     = 50,849.25 Joules

<em>Hence, </em><em>50,849.25 Joules </em><em> of heat must be added to  a 75.0-g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 J/g °C to increase its temperature from 25 °C to its melting temperature of 1535 °C</em>

Which of the following groups in the periodic
Dimas [21]

Elements of Group 1 and  group 2  in the periodic table contain elements so reactive that they are  never found in the free state

<u>Explanation</u>:

The metals in group 1 of  periodic table consisting of 'alkali metals' which include lithium, potassium, sodium, rubidium, Francium and caesium. They are highly reactive because they have low ionisation energy and larger radius. The group 2 metals consist of 'alkaline earth metals' which include calcium, strontium, barium, beryllium, radium and magnesium.  These alkaline earth metal have +2 oxidation number, hence are highly reactive.

These both group metals are mostly reactive and so are never found in a free state. When they are exposed to air they would immediately react with oxygen. Hence, are stored in oils to avoid oxidation.

Suppose that on a dry, sunny day when the air temperature is near 37 ∘C,37 ∘C, a certain swimming pool would increase in tempera
ioda

Answer:

The fraction of water body necessary to keep the temperature constant is 0,0051.

Explanation:

Heat:

Q=m*Ce*ΔT

Q= heat  (unknown)

m= mass  (unknown)

Ce= especific heat (1 cal/g*°C)

ΔT= variation of temperature  (2.75 °C)  

Latent heat:

ΔE=∝mΔHvap

ΔE= latent heat

m= mass  (unknown)

∝= mass fraction (unknown)

ΔHvap= enthalpy of vaporization (539.4 cal/g)

Since Q and E are equal, we can match both equations:

m*Ce*ΔT=∝*m*ΔHvap

Mass fraction is:

∝=\frac{Ce*ΔT}{ΔHvap}

∝=\frac{(1 cal/g*°C)*2.75°C}{539.4 cal/g}

∝=0,0051
