Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst

ance A is 6.01 g and its initial temperature is 20.0 degrees Celsius. The mass of substance B is 25.6 g and its initial temperature is 52.2 degrees Celsius. The final temperature of both substances at thermal equilibrium is 46.1 degrees Celsius. If the specific heat capacity of substance B is 1.17 J/g degrees Celsius, what is the specific heat capacity of substance A

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE A:</u>

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE B:</u>

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

<u>C = 1.16 J/g</u>

blagie [28]

Answer:

0.304 L of Freon is needed

Explanation:

Q = mCT

Q is quantity of energy that must be removed = 47 BTU = 47×1055.06 = 49587.82 J

C is specific heat of Freon = 74 J/mol.K = 74 J/mol.K × 1 mol/120 g = 0.617 J/g.K

T is temperature in the area of Mars = 189 K

m = Q/CT = 49587.82/(0.617×189) = 452.23 g = 452.24/1000 = 0.45223 kg

Density of Freon = specific gravity of Freon × density of water = 1.49 × 1000 kg/m^3 = 1490 kg/m^3

Volume of Freon = mass/density = 0.45223/1490 = 0.000304 m^3 = 0.000304×1000 = 0.304 L

1. The construction process begins with which of the following stages?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c) site preparation

Explanation:

A construction process can be defined as a series of important physical events (processes) that must be accomplished during the execution of a construction project.

Generally, in the construction of any physical asset such as offices, hospitals, schools, stadiums etc, the first step of the construction process is site preparation. Site preparation refers to processes such as clearing, blasting, levelling, landfilling, surveying, cutting, excavating and demolition of all unwanted objects on a piece of land, so as to make it ready for use.

This ultimately implies that, site preparation should be the first task to be accomplished in the construction process.

Hence, the construction process typically begins with site preparation before other activities such as the laying of foundation can be done.

Additionally, construction costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the development of a built asset, project or property. The construction costs is classified into two (2) main categories and these are; capital and operational costs.

A light bar AD is suspended from a cable BE and supports a 20-kg block at C. The ends A and D of the bar are in contact with fri
babymother [125]

Answer:

Tension in cable BE= 196.2 N

Reactions A and D both are  73.575 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram is as attached sketch. At equilibrium, sum of forces along y axis will be 0 hence

T_{BE}-W=0 hence

T_{BE}=W=20*9.81=196.2 N

Therefore, tension in the cable, T_{BE}=196.2 N

Taking moments about point A, with clockwise moments as positive while anticlockwise moments as negative then

196.2\times 0.125- 196.2\times 0.2+ D_x\times 0.2=0

24.525-39.24+0.2D_x=0

D_x=73.575 N

Similarly,

A_x-D_y=0

A_x=73.575 N

Therefore, both reactions at A and D are 73.575 N

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that operates between the temperatures of 627°C and 27°C with a thermal effici
Oksana_A [137]

Answer Explanation:

the efficiency of the the engine is given by=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}

where T₂= lower temperature

           T₁= Higher temperature

we have given efficiency =70%

lower temperature T₂=27°C=273+27=300K

higher temperature T₁=627°C=273+627=900K

efficiency=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}

                =1-\frac{300}{900}

                 =1-0.3333

                 =0.6666

                 =66%

66% is less than 70% so so inventor claim is wrong
