<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 volume of a 2.5 M stock solution of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is required to prepare
Schach [20]

<span> </span>

Answer is: volume is 20 mL.<span>
c</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 2,5 M.<span>
c</span>₂(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M.<span>
V</span>₂(CH₃COOH) = 100 mL.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = ?<span>
c</span>₁(CH₃COOH) · V₁(CH₃COOH) = c₂(CH₃COOH) · V₂(CH₃COOH).<span>
2,5 M · V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M · 100 mL.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 0,5 M · 100 mL ÷ 2,5 M.<span>
V</span>₁(CH₃COOH) = 20 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L =0,02 L.

CaHeK987 [17]
<span>Answer: From the ideal gas law, MM=mRTPV; where MM = molecular mass; m = mass; P = pressure in atmospheres; V= volume in litres; R = gas constant with appropriate units. So, 0.800â‹…gĂ—0.0821â‹…Lâ‹…atmâ‹…Kâ’1â‹…molâ’1Ă—373â‹…K0.256â‹…LĂ—0.987â‹…atm = 97.0 gâ‹…molâ’1. nĂ—(12.01+1.01+2Ă—35.45)â‹…gâ‹…molâ’1 = 97.0â‹…gâ‹…molâ’1. Clearly, n = 1. And molecular formula = C2H2Cl2. I seem to recall (but can't be bothered to look up) that vinylidene chloride, H2C=C(Cl)2 is a low boiling point gas, whereas the 1,2 dichloro species is a volatile liquid. At any rate we have supplied the molecular formula as required.</span>

What is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom
aleksklad [387]

Answer: It depends on the element.

Explanation: Every element has a different amount of protons in its nucleus. It is the same as its atomic number on the periodic table. For example: Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1 because it has 1 proton in its nucleus, Helium has 2, Carbon has 6, Platnium has 78, and so on...
