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

What is the total pressure (in atm) inside of a vessel containing N2 exerting a partial pressure of 0.256 atm, He exerting a par
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: Total pressure inside of a vessel is 0.908 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual partial pressures. exerted by each gas alone.

p_{total}=p_1+p_2+p_3

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.256 atm

p_{He} = partial pressure of helium = 203 mm Hg = 0.267 atm  (760mmHg=1atm)

p_{H_2} = partial pressure of hydrogen =39.0 kPa = 0.385 atm  (1kPa=0.00987 atm)

Thus p_{total}=p_{H_2}+p_{He}+p_{H_2}

p_{total} =0.256atm+0.267atm+0.385atm =0.908atm

Thus total pressure (in atm) inside of a vessel is 0.908
