Answer:

1. 2.04 W/m²

2. 1.63°C

Explanation:

The radiative force that the Earth receives comes from the Sun. When the Sun rays come to the surface, some of them are absorbed and then it is reflected in the space. The greenhouse gases (like CO2) blocks some of these rays, and then the surface stays warm. The excessive amount of these gases makes the surface warmer, which unbalance the climate on Earth.

1. The variation of the radiative forcing can be calculated based on the concentration of the CO2 by the equation:

ΔF = 5.35*ln(C/C0)

Where C is the final concentration, and C0 is the initial concentration.

ΔF = 5.35*ln(410/280)

ΔF = 2.04 W/m²

2. The temperature change in the Earth's surface caused by the variation of the radiative forcing can be calculated by:

ΔT = 0.8*ΔF

ΔT = 0.8*2.04

ΔT = 1.63 K = 1.63°C

What is the specific heat of a substance that absorbs 2500 joules of heat when a sample of 100g of the substance increases in te

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

0.417 J/gºC

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Heat (Q) absorbed = 2500 J

Mass (M) of substance = 100 g

Initial temperature (T1) = 10 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 70 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Next, we shall determine the change in temperature (ΔT). This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T1) = 10 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 70 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – T1

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 70 – 10

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance as follow:

Heat (Q) absorbed = 2500 J

Mass (M) of substance = 100 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Q = MCΔT

2500 = 100 × C × 60

2500 = 6000 × C

Divide both side by 6000

C = 2500 / 6000

C = 0.417 J/gºC

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.417 J/gºC

1. Review the information in the table below. Use the information to calculate rate of how many sandwiches are made in a 10-minu

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Rate is simply defined as quantity per unit time. Mathematically it is represented as:

Rate = Quantity /time

Thus, we can obtain the rate as follow:

1. Quantity = 20 sandwich

Time = 10 mins

Rate =?

Rate = Quantity /time

Rate = 20/10

Rate = 2 sandwich per mins

2. Quantity = 30 sandwich

Time = 10 mins

Rate =?

Rate = Quantity /time

Rate = 30/10

Rate = 3 sandwich per mins

3. Quantity = 40 sandwich

Time = 10 mins

Rate =?

Rate = Quantity /time

Rate = 40/10

Rate = 4 sandwich per mins

4. Quantity = 50 sandwich

Time = 10 mins

Rate =?

Rate = Quantity /time

Rate = 50/10

Rate = 5 sandwich per mins

Thus, the complete table is given as follow:

Quantity >> Unit of measure >> Rate

10 >>>>>>> 10 min >>>>>>>>>> 1

20 >>>>>>> 10 min >>>>>>>>>> 2

30 >>>>>>> 10 min >>>>>>>>>> 3

40 >>>>>>> 10 min >>>>>>>>>> 4

50 >>>>>>> 10 min >>>>>>>>>> 5

If a 2.50 liter container is filled with Ne gas at a pressure of 650 mm Hg and at 25°C, what mass of Ne is in the container?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

1.76 g is the mass of Ne is in the container.

Explanation:

We use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 650 mm Hg

V = Volume of the gas = 2.50 L

T = Temperature of the gas = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of Ne gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$650mmHg\times 2.50L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{650\times 2.50}{62.3637\times 298}=0.0874mol$

Also, molar mass of Ne = 20.1797 g/mol

So, $Mass = Moles\times Molar\ mass = 0.0874\times 20.1797 g = 1.76\ g$

<u>1.76 g is the mass of Ne is in the container.</u>
