Answer:

  • <u>Option A. 450.00</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) m = 18 kg

b) T₁ = 285 K

c) T₂ = 318 K

d) Q = 267.3 kJ

e) S = ?

<u>2) Principles and equations</u>

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed to increase the temperature of certain amount (gram, kg, or moles, depending on the definition or units) of the substance in 1 ° C or 1 K.

The mathematical relation between the specific heat and the heat energy absorbed is:

  • Q = m × S × ΔT

Where,

  • Q is the heat absorbed,
  • S is the specific heat, and
  • ΔT is the temperature increase (T₂ - T₁)

<u>3) Solution:</u>

<u>a) Substitute the data into the equation:</u>

  • 267.3 kJ = 18 kg × S × (318 K - 285 K)

<u>b) Solve for S and compute:</u>

  • S = 267.3 kJ / (18 kg × 33 K) = 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K)

The options have not units, but I notice that the first answer is 1,000 times the answer I obtained, so I will make a conversion of units.

<u>c) Convert to J /( kg . k):</u>

  • 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K) × 1,000 J / kJ = 450 J / (kg . K)

Now we can see that the option A is is the answer, assuming the units.

A gas is at a pressure of 3.70 atm. What is this pressure in kilopascals?
Yanka [14]
Answer:
                =   374.90 kPa 

Calculation:
                  As we know atm and kiloPascal are related to each other as,

                                         1 atm  =  101.325 kPa
So,
                                    3.70 atm  =   X
Solving for X,
                                     X  = (3.70 atm × 101.325 kPa) ÷ 1 atm

                                     X  =  374.90 kPa

Carbondioxide gas is't collectable in water. why​?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

carbon dioxide is a gas so it isn't collected over water.

Explanation:

it works for insoluble gases such as hydrogen,or gases that do not dissolve easily in water such as ammonia and chlorine are readily soluble in water and are not collected this way.
