Answer:

0.725 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Kinetic energy of the softball (K): 145 J

Speed of the softball (v): 20.0 m/s

Mass of the softball (m): ?

Step 2: Calculate the mass of the softball

We will use the following expression.

K = 1/2 × m × v²

m = 2 K / v²

m = 2 × 145 J / (20.0 m/s)²

m = 0.725 kg

The mass of the softball is 0.725 kg.

Linda performed the following trials in an experiment. Trial 1: Heat 30.0 grams of water at 0 °C to a final temperature of 40.0

nexus9112 [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released, we use the following equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$ .....(1)

where, q = amount of heat absorbed or released.

m = mass of the substance

c = heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g ° C

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

For Trial 1:

We are given:

$m=30g\\\Delta T=[40-0]^oC=40^oC\\q=?J$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q=30g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times 40^oC$

q = 5023.2 J

For trial 2:

We are given:

$m=40g\\\Delta T=[40-30]^oC=10^oC\\q=?J$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q=40g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times 10^oC$

q = 1674.4 J

Heat gained by Trial 1 than trial 2 = $(5023.2-1674.4)J=3347J$

Hence, the amount of heat gained in Trial 1 about 3347 J more than the heat released in Trial 2.

Thus, the correct answer is Option b.

The freezing point of benzene is 5.5°C. What is the freezing point of a solution of 2.60 g of naphthalene (C10H8) in 675 g of be

Mrac [35]

Answer: The freezing point of solution is 5.35°C

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

$\Delta T_f=\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

Or,

$\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Freezing point of pure solution = 5.5°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point elevation constant = 4.90°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (naphthalene) = 2.60 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (naphthalene) = 128.2 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (benzene) = 675 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.5-\text{Freezing point of solution}=1\times 4.90^oC/m\times \frac{2.60\times 1000}{128.2g/mol\times 675}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=5.35^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 5.35°C
