Answer:
c = 0.13 j/ g.°C
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of mercury = 29.5 g
Initial temperature = 32°C
Final temperature = 161°C
Heat absorbed = 499.2 j
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
Q = m.c. ΔT
ΔT = T2 - T1
ΔT = 161°C - 32°C
ΔT = 129 °C
Q = m.c. ΔT
c = Q / m. ΔT
c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C
c = 499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C
c = 0.13 j/ g.°C
A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges. Buffer solutions have a working pH range and capacity which dictate how much acid/base can be neutralized before pH changes, and the amount by which it will change.
The empirical formula is the simplest formula attainable while maintaining the ratio so it will be CH2.
Explanation:
The empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplistic positive integer ratio of atoms being in a compound. A simple example of this thought is that the empirical formula of sulfur monoxide, or SO, would simply be SO, as is the empirical formula of disulfur dioxide, S2O2.
