Answer:

0.296j/g⁰c

Explanation:

we have the following information from this question before us.

mass iv substance = 50grams

we have initial temperature ti = 20.2⁰c

final temperature = 125⁰c

the energy that was provided = 155kj

we proceed with this formula

energy = mcΔT

1.55x10³ = 50 x c x (125-20.2)

1.55x10³ = c x 50gm x 104.8k

we divide through to get c

c = 1.55x10³/50g x 104.8

c = 0.296J/g⁰c

that is the specific heat of this substance.

thank you!

What the difference between a sodium atom (Na) and a sodium ion (Nal+)
vichka [17]

Answer:

So a sodium atom has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 meaning it has 1 electron on its outer shell. It has a neutral charge since the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

A sodium ion is one that has lost the electron on its valence shell. The electronic configuration is 2,8 and it has a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons.

Which is the stronger acid in each of the following pairs? Explain your reasoning.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is stronger acid to phenol

para-cyanophenol is stronger acid to meta-cyanophenol

o-fluorophenol is stronger acid to p-fluorophenol.

Explanation:

The PKa tool relative to Ph are used to contrast the pairs.

The pKa of phenol is 10. The pKa of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is 9.24

The pKa for meta-cyanophenol is 8.61 and the pKa for para-cyanophenol is 7.95. 

The pKa value of o-fluorophenol is 8.7, while that of the p-fluorophenol is 9.9. It's obvious that the inductive effect is more dominant at ortho-position, which results in a more acidic nature

The pKa is the pH value at which a chemical species will accept or donate a proton. The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the greater the ability to donate a proton in aqueous solution.
