How would you calculate an object's mechanical energy?

The heat capacity of water is 1cal degree'g1 (1 calorie per degree centigrade, per gram). You are given 1 gallon of water at 25

sdas [7]

Answer:

The heat needed to boil 1 gallon of water is 81,490.62 Joules.

Explanation:

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Where:

Q = heat absorbed or heat lost

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

We have :

Volume of water = V = 1 gal = 4546.09 mL

Density of water , d= 1 g/mL

mass of water = m = d × V = 1g/mL × 4546.09 mL = 4546.09 g

Specific heat of water = c = 1 Cal/g°C

ΔT = 100°C - 25°C = 75 °C

9 (boiling pint of water is 100°C)

Heat absorbed by the water to make it boil:

$Q= 4546.09 g\times 1 Cal/g^oC\times 75^oC=340,956.75 Cal$

1 calorie = 4.184 J

$Q=\frac{340,956.75}{4.184} J = 81,490.62 J$

The heat needed to boil 1 gallon of water is 81,490.62 Joules.

Which of the following statements about balanced chemical equations is true?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The correct answer is They provide the molar ratio of reactant and products in a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation helps us to calculate the number of moles of both reactant and product.For example

2H2+O2=2H2O

From the above balanced equation it can be stated that 2 molecules of hydrogen(H2) reacts with 1 molecule of oxygen(O2) to form 2 molecules of water.

A container initially holds 5.67 x 10^-2 mol of propane and has a volume of V1. The volume of the container was increased by add

Brut [27]

Answer:

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of mol (n1) = 5.67 x 10⁻²

Number of mol (n2) = (5.67 +2.95) x 10⁻² = 8.62 x 10⁻²

New volume (V2) = 1.93 L

Find:

Initial volume of the container (V1)

Computation:

Using Avogadro's law

V1 / n1 = V2 / n2

V1 / 5.67 x 10⁻² = 1.93 / 8.62 x 10⁻²

V1 = 10.9431 / 8.62

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.2695

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)

When the stabilized state of an equilibrium system is altered, further chemical reactions begin until a new equilibrium is reach

Nezavi [6.7K]

The answer is a. True. This is also known as the Le Chatelier's principle or The Equilibrium Law which states that if a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and then experiences changes in the condition of the reaction such as changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature of products or reactants, the system will naturally shift to achieve a new equilibrium state.
