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

calculate the mass required to prepare 2.5 L of 1.0 M NaOH solution. Given that the molar mass for NaOH is 40 g/mol.
Helen [10]

Answer:

The required mass to prepare 2.5 L of 1.0 M NaOH solution is 100 g

Explanation:

We do this by preparing the equation:

Mass = concentration (mol/L) x volume (L) x Molar mass

Mass = 1.0 M x 2.5 L x 40 g/mol

Mass = 100 g

2. A sample of apple juice has a volume of 4 mL and a mass of 72 g. What is the density
tangare [24]
  • Mass=72g
  • Volume=4mL

\\ \sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{72}{4}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Density=18g/mL
