Answer:

Question 1: 0.2J/(gºC)

Question 2: 6,000J

Question 3: 300J

Question 4: 80g

Question 5: 74ºC

Question 6: 50g

Explanation:

Question 1. A 20g piece of lead absorbs 566 joules of heat and its temperature changes from 35º oC to 195º C. Calculate the specific heat.

The thermal energy equation is:

Q = m × C × ΔT

Substitute and solve for C:

566J = 20g × C × (195ºC - 35ºC)

C = 566J / (20g × 160ºC)

C = 0.177 J/(gºC) ≈ 0.2J/(gºC)

You must round to one significant figure because one factor has one significant figure).

Qustion 2. 40g of water is heat at 40ºC and the temperature rise to 75ºC. What is the amount of heat needed for the temperature to rise? (specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gºC)

Use the thermal energy equation again:

Q = m × C × ΔT

Substitute and compute:

Q = 40g × 4.184 J/gºC × (75ºC - 40ºC)

Q = 5,857.6J

Round to one significant figure: 6,000J

Question 3. Graphite has a mass of 50g and a specific heat of 0.420 J/gºC. If graphite is cooled from 50ºC to 35ºC, how much energy was lost?

Q = m × C × ΔT

Q = 50g × 0.420J/gºC × (35ºC - 50ºC)

Q = 315J

Round to one significant figure (because 50g has one significant figure)

Q = 300J

Question 4. Iron has a specific heat of 0.712 J/gºC. A piece of iron absorbs 3000J of energy and undergoes a temperature change totaling 50ºC, What is the mass of iron?

Q = m × C × ΔT

Solve for m:

m = Q / (C × ΔT)

Substitute and compute:

m = 3,000J / (0.712J/gºC × 50ºC)

m = 84.26 g ≈ 80 g (rounded to one significant figure, because the factor 3,000J has one significant figure).

Question 5. If 400g of an unknown solution at 70ºC loses 7500 J of heat, what is the final temperature of the unknown solution. The unknown solution has a specific heat of 4.184 J/gºC.

Q = m × C × ΔT

Q is negative, since it is released.

Substitute and solve for T:

- 7,500J = 400g × 4.184J/gºC × (T - 70ºC)

T = - 7500J / 400g × 4.184J/gºC) + 70ºC

T = 74ºC

If you round to one significant figure you cannot tell the temperature difference, thus leave two significant figures.

Question 6. How many grams of water would require 9500J of heat to raise the temperature from 50ºC to 100ºC

Q = m × C × ΔT

Subsitute:

9,500J = m × 4.184J/gºC × (100ºC - 50ºC)

Solve for m and compute:

m = 9,500J / (4.184J/gºC × 50ºC)

m = 45g

Since the temperatures indicate one singificant figure, the mass should be rounded to one significant figure:

m = 50g.

You draw back on the piston of a pump and the volume of air in the pump doubles. Which of the following happens?

ohaa [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

We are given a piston of a pump, which means that there is no loss of the air. and there is a change in pressure and volume but temperature of the system remains constant.

As, the pressure of the system increases, there will be more number of particles. So, the number of collisions per unit area will increase.

$\text{Number of collisions}\propto \text{Pressure}$

But in the question, volume gets doubled. So, the pressure will be determined by using Boyle's Law:

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

$V_2\rightarrow 2V_1$

where, $V_1\text{ and }V_2$ are the initial and final volume respectively.

Putting the change in volume in above equation, we get:

$P_2=\frac{1}{2V_1}\\\\P_2=\frac{1}{2}P_1$

where, $P_1\text{ and }P_2$ are the initial and final pressure respectively.

As, the pressure is reduced to half of the initial pressure. So, the number of collisions per unit area will also be reduced to one-half.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

A compound is found to contain 13.65 % carbon and 86.35 % fluorine by mass. To answer the question, enter the elements in the or

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The molecular formula will be $CF_4$

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C= 13.65 g

Mass of F = 86.35 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{13.65g}{12g/mole}=1.138moles$

Moles of F= $\frac{\text{ given mass of F}}{\text{ molar mass of F}}= \frac{86.35g}{19g/mole}=4.545moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{1.138}{1.138}=1$

For F = $\frac{4.545}{1.138}=4$

The ratio of C : F= 1: 4

Hence the empirical formula is $CF_4$

The empirical weight of $CF$ = 1(12)+4(19)= 88g.

The molecular weight = 88.01 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{88.01}{88}=$

The molecular formula will be= $1\times CF_4=CF_4$

A gas at 200 K occupies a volume of 350 ml. What temperature is needed to increase the volume

Rudik [331]

Answer: Temperature in constant pressure is 286 K

Explanation: If pressure remains constant, then V/T = constant.

V1 = 350 ml and T1 = 200 K and V2 = 500 ml. V1/T1 = V2/T2

and T2 = T1· V2 / V1 = 200 K · 500 ml / 300 ml = 285,7 K
