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

Chemistry

solong [7]4 years ago

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!!!!!

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 211 torr at 39.9∘C. The vap
DaniilM [7]

Answer : This is not an ideal mixture.

Explanation :

Using Raoult's law :

P_{Mixture}=p_{CH_3OH}+p_{H_2O}\\\\P_{Mixture}=x_{CH_3OH}\times p^o_{CH_3OH}+x_{H_2O}\times p^o_{H_2O}

where,

P_{Mixture} = total vapor pressure of mixture

p^o_{CH_3OH} = vapor pressure of pure methanol = 256 torr

p^o_{H_2O} = vapor pressure of pure water = 55.3 torr

x_{H_2O} = mole fraction of water = 0.312  

x_{CH_3OH} = mole fraction of methanol = 1 - 0.312 = 0.688

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

P_{Mixture}=x_{CH_3OH}\times p^o_{CH_3OH}+x_{H_2O}\times p^o_{H_2O}

P_{Mixture}=0.688\times 256torr+0.312\times 55.3torr

P_{Mixture}=193.4torr

From this we conclude that the total vapor pressure of mixture is less than the total given vapor pressure of 211 torr. That means, the interactions between the methanol and water would be weaker than those between the individual substances. So, this is not an ideal mixture.

Hence, this is not an ideal mixture.

In what type of solution was the human cell placed​
White raven [17]

Answer:

Isotonic Solution.

Explanation:

There are three types of solutions that can occur in your body based on solute concentration: isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. An isotonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes is the same both inside and outside of the cell.

The solubility of two slightly soluble salts of M^2+ , MA and MZ_2, are the same, 4 x 10^â4 mol/L.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a) MZ₂

b) They have the same concentration

c) 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

a) The solubility (S) is the concentration of the salt that will be dissociated and form the ions in the solution, the solubility product constant (Kps) is the multiplication of the concentration of the ions elevated at their coefficients. The concentration of the ions depends on the stoichiometry and will be equivalent to S.

The salts solubilization reactions and their Kps values are:

MA(s) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + A⁻²(aq) Kps = S*S = S²

MZ₂(aq) ⇄ M⁺²(aq) + 2Z⁻(aq) Kps = S*S² = S³

Thus, the Kps of MZ₂ has a larger value.

b) A saturated solution is a solution that has the maximum amount of salt dissolved, so, the concentration dissolved is solubility. As we can notice from the reactions, the concentration of M⁺² is the same for both salts.

c) The equilibrium will be not modified because the salts have the same solubility. So, let's suppose that the volume of each one is 1 L, so the number of moles of the cation in each one is 4x10⁻⁴ mol. The total number of moles is 8x10⁻⁴ mol, and the concentration is:

8x10⁻⁴ mol/2 L = 4x10⁻⁴ mol/L.
