Answer:

31.9 °C  

Explanation:

The formula for the heat q absorbed by an object is

q = mCΔT where ΔT = (T₂ - T₁)

Data:

q = 12.35 cal

m = 19.75 g

C = 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₂ = 37.0 °C

Calculations

(a) Calculate ΔT

q = mCΔT

12.35 cal = 19.25 g × 0.125 cal°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × ΔT

12.35 = 2.406ΔT °C⁻¹  

ΔT  = 12.35/(2.406 °C⁻¹) = 5.13 °C

(b) Calculate T₂

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - ΔT = 37.0 °C - 5.13 °C = 31.9 °C

The original temperature was 31.9 °C.

Which state of matter has the lowest amount of themeral energy?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Matter in its solid state has the lowest amount of thermal energy (for that type of matter). Because solids have less thermal energy than liquids or gasses, the atoms in their solid state move very little.

Rank the ions in order of increasing basicity: CH3NH-, CH3CH2-, CH30-
Alexxx [7]

In order to find out the ranking of ions basicity, check the pKa values of each ions. The principle that you need to remember is that the stronger the acid the weaker the corresponding conjugate base. The pKa dictates acid value of the compound. The answer would be CH3NH, CH3O-, and CH3CH2-.
