Which choice best describes the specific heat of water compared with that of metals?

Chemistry

solong [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Specific heat capacity is the measurement of how much energy (in J) has to be added to 1 kg of a substance to increase the temperature of that substance by 1 o C. Simply, substances with a low specific heat capacity heat up quickly - but then they lose their heat quickly. Substances with a high specific heat capacity require a large amount of heat to be added to change their temperature - but then they hold their heat much longer.

Explanation: Think of heating a pot of soup on the stove and stirring it with a metal spoon. If you leave the spoon sitting in the pot for even a few minutes and you return, the spoon will be hot enough to burn your hands - and the soup will feel only slightly warmer. This happens because the specific heat capacity of the metal spoon is much lower than that of the water in the soup. Water has the highest specific heat capacity of any liquid.

Hope this helps!!!!!

The images show two unrelated events occurring at separate times.
madreJ [45]

Event 1 is an example of a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Whenever there is a chemical reaction, we can find that by means of a color change, formation of any gas, vapors, bubbles or any color or colorless precipitation, or by means of heat generation.

In the event 1 there is only a clear liquid in the beaker again it is added to a clear liquid in another beaker, forming an orange colored liquid , which shows that there is an occurrence of some chemical reaction.

So Event 1 is most likely an example of a chemical reaction.

What happened to the mixture as it is poured into the strainer with cloth?​
zzz [600]

Answer:

The solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass or filter through.

Explanation:

Filtration is a process of separation of mixtures involving an insoluble solid and a fluid such as liquids or gases using a filtering medium such as paper or cloth or any other material. During the process, the liquid molecules pass through the filtering medium whereas the solid particles are not allowed to pass through but are retained by the medium. The reason is that the pores on the filtering medium are only small enough for the liquid molecules to pass through but not the solid particles.

An example of a mixture that can be separated through filtration is a suspension of chalk and water. Also, a mixture of water and solid particles such as water and tea leaves can also be separated using a strainer with cloth.

In the question, if a mixture of insoluble solids in a liquid is passed through a strainer with cloth, the solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass through.

Decide which element probably forms a compound with chlorine that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical
Degger [83]

Answer:

Most similar - Lithium

Least similar - Phosphorus

Explanation:

Rubidium is an element in group 1A of the periodic table. It is a metal and forms an ionic compound with chlorine. The formula of the compound is RbCl.

If we look at the options, Lithium is also a group 1A element and forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula LiCl which is very much similar to RbCl chemically.

Phosphorus is a nonmetal. Its compounds with chlorine, PCl3 and PCl5 are covalent and does not resemble RbCl in any way.
