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

Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent,
erica [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Extraction has to do with the separation of the components of a mixture by dissolving the mixture in a set up involving two phases. One phase is the aqueous phase (beneath) while the other is the organic phase (on top). The solvents used for the two phases must not be miscible. Water commonly is used for the aqueous phase.

Ethanol is an important solvent in chemistry but the solvent is miscible with water in all proportions. As a result of this, ethanol is a poor solvent for carrying out extraction.

Which of the following will have the slowest rate of diffusion at a given temperature?
marysya [2.9K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Chlorine gas (Cl₂)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • According to the Graham's law of diffusion, the diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molar mass.
  • Therefore, a lighter gas will diffuse faster at a given temperature compared to a heavy gas.
  • Consequently, the heavier a gas is then the denser it is and the slower it diffuses at a given temperature and vice versa.

In this case we are given gases, CI₂

, H₂,He and Ne.

  • We are required to identify the gas that will diffuse at the slowest rate.
  • In other words we are required to determine the heaviest gas.

Looking at the molar mass of the gases given;

Cl₂- 70.91 g/mol

H₂- 2.02 g/mol

He - 4.00 g/mol

Ne- 20.18 g/mol

Therefore, chlorine gas is the heaviest and thus will diffuse at the slowest rate among the choices given.

What is the specific heat capacity of a metal if it requires 177.5 J to change the temperatures of 15.0g of the metal from 25.00
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of a metal is 1.31 J/g°C = C

Explanation:

A classical excersise of calorimetry to apply this formula:

Q = m . C . ΔT

177.5 J = 15 g . C (34°C - 25°C)

177.5 J = 15g . 9°C . C

177.5 J /15g . 9°C = C

1.31 J/g°C = C
