A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 278.0g sample of C5H12S from 0.8degree cels

ius to 15.9 degree celsius . The experiment shows that 8.46X10^3J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity of C5H12S ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The answer to your question is    C = 2.01 J/g°C

Explanation:

Data

mass = m = 278 g

Temperature 1 = T1 = 0.8°C

Temperature 2 = T2 = 15.9 °C

Heat = Q = 8.46 x 10³ J

Heat capacity = C = ?

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate the heat

        Q = mC(T2 - T1)

2.- Solve for C

        C = Q / m(T2 - T1)

3.- Substitution

         C = 8.46 x 10³ / 278 (15.9 - 0.8)

4.- Simplification

          C = 8.46 x 10³ / 4197.8

5.- Result

          C = 2.01 J/g°C

1. How are electromagnets similar to other magnets?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:a As the name suggests, a permanent magnet is 'permanent'. ... An electromagnet is made from a coil of wire which acts as a magnet when an electric current passes through it. Often an electromagnet is wrapped around a core of ferromagnetic material like steel, which enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil.... hope these helps chu :/

12oz of water initially at 75oF is mixed with 20oz of water intiially at 140oF. What is the final temperature?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

115.625^{\circ}\text{F}

Explanation:

m_1 = First mass of water = 12 oz

m_2 = Second mass of water = 20 oz

\Delta T_1 = Temperature difference of the solution with respect to the first mass of water = (T-75)^{\circ}\text{F}

\Delta T_2 = Temperature difference of the solution with respect to the second mass of water = (T-75)^{\circ}\text{F}

c = Specific heat of water

As heat gain and loss in the system is equal we have

m_1c\Delta T_1=m_2c\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow m_1\Delta T_1=m_2\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow 12(T-75)=20(140-T)\\\Rightarrow 12T-900=2800-20T\\\Rightarrow 12T+20T=2800+900\\\Rightarrow 32T=3700\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{3700}{32}\\\Rightarrow T=115.625^{\circ}\text{F}

The final temperature of the solution is 115.625^{\circ}\text{F}.
