<span>Heat capacity of an object, is the amount of heat energy or thermal energy (unit: Joule) needed to raise the temperature of the object by 1 degree celsius. Unit of heat capacity is J/°C 

Larger object will surely need larger amount of thermal energy to raise its temperature. If you compare 1 litre of water with 0.5 litre of water, the 1L water will have two times the heat capacity. 

It will be more useful to compare specific heat capacity, because then it is the amount of heat energy or thermal energy (unit: Joule) needed to raise the temperature of 1 unit mass of the object by 1 degree celsius. You can then compare between 1 unit mass of water and 1 unit mass of iron. 
Water has higher specific heat capacity than iron, meaning that you need more energy to heat up 1kg of water, then to heat up 1kg of iron. 

The unit will then be J/(kg °C) or J/(g °C).

What is a 1 unit in ph equal to
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Since pH is a logarithmic scale, a difference of one pH unit is equivalent to a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration. ... Pure water and a solution of NaCl in pure water are both neutral, since dissociation of water produces equal numbers of both ions.

Help ASAP! I'm kind of stuck on what you are supposed to put for theoretical / predicted yield and what is the actual yield for
Alex777 [14]
The theoretical yield of a product is the calculated amount of what you are supposed to get by the end of a reaction assuming that nothing is lost, but the actual yield of the product is what you actually get when you carry out the reaction in real life conditions.

A 1.897g sample of Mg(HCO3)2 was heated and decomposed. When the sample
svlad2 [7]

1.5 % is the percent yield in the reaction.

Explanation:

Given that:

original mass of the sample used in reaction = 1.897 grams

product formed after decomposition = 1.071 grams

The reaction for the decomposition:

Mg(HCO3)2 (s) ⇒ CO2 (g) + H2O (g) + MgCO2 (s)

It says that 1 mole of Mg(HCO3)2  yielded 1 mole of  MgCO2  on decomposition

68.31 grams/mole or 68.31 grams of MgCO2 is formed

percent yield = \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} x 100

putting the values in the equation:

percent yield = \frac{1.071}{68.31}

                       = 0.015 x100

   PERCENT YIELD = 1.5 %
