Convert the following numbers of calories or
muminat

Answer:

a. joules=32823480 , kilojoules=32823.48

b. joules=1979868.8 , kilojoules=1979.8688

c. joules=260002.128 , kilojoules=260.002128

d. joules=180012416 , kilojoules=180012.416

Explanation:

calories to kilo joules=multiply the energy value by 4.184

calories to joules=multiply the energy value by 4184

kilo calories to joules=multiply the energy value by 4184

kilo calories to kilo joules=multiply the energy value by 4.184

The substances below are listed by increasing specific heat capacity value. Starting at 30.0 °C, they each absorb 100 kJ of ther
JulijaS [17]

The heat change is related to specific heat as

Heat change = mass of substance X specific heat X change in temperature

So if we are considering same amount of substance

and we are starting with the same temperature

the change in temperature will be inversely proportional to the specific heat

higher the specific heat lower the temperature change

Thus the change in temperature will be least for the substance with highest specific heat.

A gas occupies a volume of 202 ml at a pressure of 505 torr. To what pressure must the gas be subject in order to change the vol
UNO [17]

Answer:

1569 torr

Explanation:

Assuming ideal behaviour and constant temperature, we can solve this problem by using <em>Boyle's law</em>, which states:

  • V₁P₁ = V₂P₂

Where in this case:

  • V₁ = 202 mL
  • P₁ = 505 torr
  • V₂ = 65.0 mL
  • P₂ = ?

We <u>input the data given by the problem</u>:

  • 202 mL * 505 torr = 65.0 mL * P₂

And <u>solve for P₂</u>:

  • P₂ = 1569 torr

Which of the following are exact<br> numbers? Select all that apply.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

I believe it would be 30, 100, and 1. You count them, and they're significant figures. The decimals are an estimate and cannot be measure exactly. That is what I've learned, not sure what you're learning but hopefully it helps...

Explanation:

Basic explanation is when you count, that's an exact count. You're not estimating. That's real. But for measuring something, you wouldn't have a precise answer because it could go on forever (like Pi)... this is just what i'm assuming.

The carbon-carbon bond length in ethylene is ________ than the carbon-carbon bond length in ethane, and the HCH bond angle in et
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

shorter

longer

Explanation:

The carbon-carbon bond length in ethylene is <u>shorter</u> than the carbon-carbon bond length in ethane, and the HCH bond angle in ethylene is <u>longer</u> the HCH bond angle in ethane.

The objective of this question is to let us understand the concept of Bond Length and Bond angle among the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (i.e alkanes, alkenes and alkynes).

The variation in bond angles of  unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons  can be explained by two concepts; The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model and hybridization.

The VSEPR model determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of a species. The total number of electron pairs  consist of the bond pairs and lone pairs. All the electron pairs( lie charge ) will then orient themselves in such a way to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them.

As the number of the lone pairs increases from zero to 2 ; the bond angles diminish progressively.

However;

Hybridization is the mixing or blending of two or more pure atomic orbitals (s,p and d) to form two or more hybrid atomic orbitals that are identical in shape and energy . e.g sp, sp² , sp³  hybrid orbitals etc .

The shape of the geometry of this compound hence determines their bond  angle.

The shape of the geometry of ethane is tetrahedral which is 109.5° in bond angle while that of ethylene is trigonal planar which is 120°.

This is why the HCH bond angle in ethylene is longer  the HCH bond angle in ethane .
