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.

Why is the wavelength of 633 nm used to analyze the standard solutions and drink samples?

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Corresponding with orange light, is the wavelength that blue solutions absorb the most.

Explanation:

If light is diffused through a solution of a given color, emerges of light from another wavelength is consumed and fades away. However, the wavelength of light relating to the color of such a solution is transferred. The color of the light is consumed is usually the contrasting one being transferred. As seen in a color wheel where, blue complement orange, red complement green, and yellow complement violet.

Thus, for a blue substance in solution, its complementary color is said to be orange, Given that the wavelength of orange color varies from 600 - 640 nm where it's maximum absorbance is approximately 633 nm. This wavelength is what is employed when analyzing the standard solutions and drink samples.

Balancing Equations help (please explain)

klemol [59]

Answer:

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Eq-43 which type of fire extinguisher should be onboard a vessel with a permanently installed fuel tank

liq [111]

I think a type B fire extinguisher should be on board a vessel with a permanently installed fuel tank.
All vessels are required to have a type B fire extinguisher on board if one or more of the following conditions exists. That is; Inboard engine, vessel length of 26 feet or longer, enclosed living spaces, closed storage compartments in which flammable or combustible materials may be stored, permanently installed fuel tanks, and also closed compartments where portable fuel tanks may be stored.
