Answer:

8 liters of the first salt solution and 12 liters of the second salt solution is needed to get 20L of a solution that is 30% salt

Explanation:

Let x represent the liters of the first salt solution

Let y represent the liters of the second salt solution

x + y= 20......equation 1

x= 20-y

The first solution is 20% salt and the second solution is 45% salt

20/100x + 45/100 y= 30/100 × 20

0.2x + 0.45y= 0.3×20

0.2x + 0.45y= 6............equation 2

Substitute 20-y for x in equation 2

0.2(20-y) + 0.45y= 6

4-0.2y+ 0.45y= 6

4 + 0.25y= 6

0.25y= 6-4

0.25y= 2

y= 2/0.25

y= 8

Substitute y for 8 in equation 1

x + y= 20

x + 8=20

x= 20-8

x= 12

Hence 8 liters of the first salt solution and 12 liters of the second salt solution is needed to get 20L of a solution that is 30% salt.

What would be the new volume if the pressure on 600 L is increased from 90.0 kPa to 150 kPa?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

new Volume of gas=360L

Explanation:

Assume that given gas follow the ideality nature of gas

Assuming that temperature is constant;

P1 and V1 are the initial parameter of gas

and p2 and V2 are the parameter after increasing the pressure

according to boyle 's law pressure is inversly proportional to the volume at constant temperature.

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

given value of volume and gas

P1=90kPa

V1=600L

P2=150kPa

V2=?

After putting all values we get;

V2=360L

new Volume of gas=360L

a metal weighing 50.0g absorbs 20.0j of heat when its temperature increases by 150.0°c . what is the specific heat of the metal
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2.677 J/g°C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the metal,

Q = mc∆T

where m is the mass of the metal, c is the metal's specific heat capacity, and ∆T is the change in temperature that accompanies the heat transfer process

20.0J = 50.0g × c × 150°C

c = 20.0J/(50.0g × 150°C)

c = 2.677 J/g°C

How does a paper bag wrapped around a hot water bottle create convection?

How does a paper bag wrapped around a hot water bottle create convection?

Heat is a form of energy. You need energy to heat something up: for example, a cup of tea. To make your tea you probably use energy from electricity or gas. However, once your tea is hot, it won't stay hot forever. Just leave the cup of tea out on the table for a while, and you already know that it will become cooler the longer you wait. This is due to a phenomenon called heat transfer, which is the flow of energy in the form of heat. If two objects have different temperatures, heat automatically flows from one object to the other once they are in contact. The heat energy is transferred from the hotter to the colder object. In the case of the tea, the heat of the liquid is transferred to its surrounding air, which is usually colder than the tea. Once both objects reach the same temperature, the heat transfer will stop. Heat transfer via movement of fluids (liquids or gases) is called convection.

Introduction
What do you do when it gets very cold in winter? You probably turn your heater on, put on an extra layer of clothes or cuddle under a warm blanket. But have you ever thought about why a jacket helps you stay warm? Why are our clothes made from fabrics and not foils? Find out the answers in this activity; your results might even help you find the best way to stay warm in the cold!
Background
Heat is a form of energy. You need energy to heat something up: for example, a cup of tea. To make your tea you probably use energy from electricity or gas. However, once your tea is hot, it won't stay hot forever. Just leave the cup of tea out on the table for a while, and you already know that it will become cooler the longer you wait. This is due to a phenomenon called heat transfer, which is the flow of energy in the form of heat. If two objects have different temperatures, heat automatically flows from one object to the other once they are in contact. The heat energy is transferred from the hotter to the colder object. In the case of the tea, the heat of the liquid is transferred to its surrounding air, which is usually colder than the tea. Once both objects reach the same temperature, the heat transfer will stop. Heat transfer via movement of fluids (liquids or gases) is called convection.


Another type of heat transfer is conduction, in which energy moves through a substance (usually a solid) from one particle to another (unlike in convection where it’s the heated matter itself that moves). A pot handle getting hot would be an example of conduction.
