Answer:

0.733 J/g °C

Explanation:

Step 1 : Write formule of specific heat

Q = mc Δ T

with Q = heat transfer (J)

with m = mass of the substance

with c = specific heat ⇒ depends on material and phase ( J/g °C)

Δ T = Change in temperature

in this case :

Q = 38.5 J

m = 17.5g

c= has to be determined

Δ T = 3 (°C)

Step 2: Calculating specific heat

⇒ via the formule Q = mc Δ T

38.5 J = 17.5g * c * 3

38.5 = 52.5 *c

c = 38.5 / 52.5

c = 0.733 J/g °C ⇒ 0.733 is reported to three significant digits due to the precision.

The specific heat of this metal is 0.733 J/g °C

Calculate the pH of the following simple solutions:

IceJOKER [234]

Answer :

(1) pH = 1.27

(2) pH = 13.35

(3) The given solution is not a buffer.

Explanation :

(1) 53.1 mM HCl

Concentration of HCl = $53.1mM=53.1\times 10^{-3}M$

As HCl is a strong acid. So, it dissociates completely to give hydrogen ion and chloride ion.

So, Concentration of hydrogen ion= $53.1\times 10^{-3}M$

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (53.1\times 10^{-3})$

$pH=1.27$

(2) 0.223 M KOH

Concentration of KOH = 0.223 M

As KOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ion and potassium ion.

So, Concentration of hydroxide ion= 0.223 M

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$pOH=-\log (0.223)$

$pOH=0.65$

Now we have to calculate the pH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-0.65=13.35$

(3) 53.1 mM HCl + 0.223 M KOH

Buffer : It is defined as a solution that maintain the pH of the solution by adding the small amount of acid or a base.

It is not a buffer because HCl is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both dissociates completely.

As we know that the pH of strong acid and strong base solution is always 7.

So, the given solution is not a buffer.

What does this rising heat and resulting convection cycle do to our rigid lithosphere

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The movement of heat by convection in the asthenosphere causes the rock of the mantle to slowly move in huge streams. ... As the rock of the asthenosphere moves in different directions, it carries parts of the lithosphere along with it. The lithospheric rock can't stretch, so it breaks into pieces--forming the plates.

Which of the following elements has characteristics of some metals and also of

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The metalloids are a unique group of elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals. They're also called the semimetals because of the shared properties of these elements along the dividing line between metals and nonmetals.

Elements: Arsenic
