Why is specific heat capacity more useful then heat capacity when comparing two materials

Chemistry
1 answer:
coldgirl [10]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1kelvin.

The heat capacity on the other hand, expresses the heat required to raise the temperature of  asubstance by 1kelvin.

When we use specific heat capacity, we are particular about the amount of heat that would be needed to actually cause a temperature change in a unit of a substance. This suggests that even if we don't have a complete substance, we can be sure that by knowing the mass of a unit of a body one can easily estimate how much heat is required to raise its temperature. The specific heat is fundamental in calculating the heat capacity of a body. Without the value of the specific heat, we cannot evalutate the heat capacity of a body.

What may indicate that the pressure within a container is increasing and that container failure may be imminent?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

An increase in the intensity of sounds or fire issuing from a relief valve.

<h2>What does "contents under pressure" mean?</h2>

Propane serves as the propellant in all aerosols. R-12, a Freon that was the previous propellant, has been outlawed because it harms the ozone layer above the poles. Propane and R-12 share the same pressure-temperature characteristics.

Propane's boiling point is quite low. It desires a boil-off at ambient temperature. And it continues to do so until the pressure inside a closed container rises to roughly 150 psi (give or take depending on temperature), at which time the boiling point is raised high enough to cause the substance to stop boiling.

"Contents Under Pressure" is exactly what the notice indicates. Paint, hairspray, lubricant, wasp and hornet spray, among other liquids, can be found within an aerosol can, which is a pressure vessel. By inspecting the bottom, you may determine whether a vessel is a pressure vessel. If it is dished in like a bowl, it has the same pressure-holding end as a huge propane tank, with the exception that the curve on the latter has an outward orientation. On aerosol canisters, it is inward because they must sit upright for ease. A circular bottom just cannot accomplish that. But the top resembles an outer hemisphere more or less.

Thank you,

Eddie

While molecules such as glucose move freely in the blood, triglycerides are carried in the blood by very low density lipoprotein
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

B. an inner layer is needed because phospholipids always form bilayers.

Explanation:

Lipids are organic compounds which are not soluble in water but they are soluble in organic compounds. They are formed in body by combination of various molecules. The inner layer of phospholipids always form bilayers.

An element X combines with oxygen to form a compound of formula XO2. If 24.0 grams of element X combines with exactly 16.0 grams
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu

Explanation:

Let y be the atomic mass of X

Molar mass of O_2 is = 2×16 = 32 g / mol

X + O2 -----> XO_2

According to the equation ,

y g of X reacts with 32 g of O_2

24 g of X reacts with Z g of O_2

Z = ( 32×24) / y

But given that 24.0 g of X exactly reacts with 16.0 g of O_2

So Z = 16.0

⇒ (32×24) / y = 16.0

⇒ y = (32×24) / 16

y= 48.0

So atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu
