Answer: 16700 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

Q = Heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of sand = 2 kg

c = heat capacity = $835J/kg^0C$

Initial temperature = $T_i$ = $40^0C$

Final temperature= $T_f$ = $50^0C$

Change in temperature , $\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(50-40)^0C=10^0C$

Putting in the values, we get:

$Q=2kg\times 835J/kg^0C\times 10^0C$

$Q=16700J$

16700 J of energy must be added to a 2-kilogram pile of it to increase its temperature from 40°C to 50°C

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kj of heat what mass of co2 is produced?

kari74 [83]

The heat of reaction (i.e. combustion) of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) when reacted with oxygen ( $O_{2}$ )  is -2658 kJ/mol butane, and the chemical reaction is given by:

$C_{4} H_{10}$ + $\frac{13}{2} O_{2}$ ---> $4 CO_{2}$ + $5 H_{2}O$

The mass of butane required in the reaction is based on the heat produced by the reaction, which is given to be -1,500 kJ. The minus sign is added because the reaction releases heat (exothermic), which means that the products are in a "lower energy state" than the reactants.

Dividing this with the heat of reaction per mole of butane reacted would give the number of moles butane required. Then, multiplying the answer with the molar mass of butane which is 58 grams/mole, will give the mass of butane required.

Moles of butane = [(-1,500 kJ)/(-2658 kJ/mol butane)]
Moles of butane = 0.5643 moles butane

Mass of butane  = 0.5643 moles butane * 58 grams/mol butane
Mass of butane = 32.73 grams butane

The mass of carbon dioxide ( $CO_{2}$ ) can be determined by multiplying the moles of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) with the mole ratio of ( $CO_{2}$ ) produced to the ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) reacted, and then with the molar mass of ( $CO_{2}$ ), which is 44 grams/mole.

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 0.5643 moles butane * [4 moles $CO_{2}$ / 1 mole $C_{4} H_{10}$ ] * 44 grams/mole $CO_{2}$

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 99.32 grams $CO_{2}$

Thus, the mass of butane required is 32.73 grams, and the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of this amount of butane is 99.32 grams.

I begin the reaction with 0.45 g of beryllium. If my actual yield of beryllium chloride (mm = 79.91 g/mol) was 3.5 grams, what w

trasher [3.6K]

The percentage of yield was 777.78%

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have the equation,

Be [s] + 2 HCl [aq] → BeCl 2(aq] + H 2(g] ↑ Be (s] + 2 HCl [aq] → BeCl 2(aq] + H 2(g] ↑

To find the percent yield we have the formula

Percentage of Yield= what you actually get/ what you should theoretically get x 100

=3.5 g/0.45 g 100

= 777.78 %

The percentage of yield was 777.78%

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.
