Answer: m/s^2 (metre per second square)

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time. The standard unit of measurement for acceleration is m/s^2 (metre per second square).

It can be derived from:

Acceleration = velocity / Time

Acceleration = (metre per second / second)

Acceleration = metre per second square.

In short form, it is written as m/s^2

How much heat is added if 0.0318g of water is increased in temperature by 0.364 degrees C?

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

0.04838J

Explanation:

Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature between the bodies , here heat is added to the water as a result of temperature change of 0.364 degreesC

Given:change in temperature=0.364

Mass of water=0.0318g

But we need specific heat capacity of water which is

4.2 J/g°C

Then we can calculate How much heat is added by using below formula

Energy = Mass * specific heat capacity *(change in temperature)

energy =0.0318g* 4.18g*0.364

=0.04838J

6. The graph below shows the heating curve for ethanol (from –200C to 150C). Calculate the amount of heat (kJ) required for each

Kazeer [188]

This problem is providing the heating curve of ethanol showing relevant data such as the initial and final temperature, melting and boiling points, enthalpies of fusion and vaporization and specific heat of solid, liquid and gaseous ethanol, so that the overall heat is required and found to be 1.758 kJ according to:

<h3>Heating curves:</h3>

In chemistry, we widely use heating curves in order to figure out the required heat to take a substance from a temperature to another. This process may involve sensible heat and latent heat, when increasing or decreasing the temperature and changing the phase, respectively.

Thus, since ethanol starts off solid and end up being a vapor, we will find five types of heat, three of them related to the heating-up of ethanol, firstly solid, next liquid and then vapor, and the other two to its fusion and vaporization as shown below:

$Q_T=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3+Q_4+Q_5$

Hence, we begin by calculating each heat as follows, considering 1 g of ethanol is equivalent to 0.0217 mol:

$Q_1=0.0217mol*111.5\frac{J}{mol*\°C}[(-114.1\°C)-(-200\°C)] *\frac{1kJ}{1000J} =0.208kJ\\
\\
Q_2=0.0217mol*4.9\frac{kJ}{mol} =0.106kJ\\
\\
Q_3=0.0217mol*112.4\frac{J}{mol*\°C}[(78.4\°C)-(-114.1\°C)] *\frac{1kJ}{1000J} =0.470kJ\\
\\
Q_4=0.0217mol*38.6\frac{kJ}{mol} =0.838kJ\\
\\
Q_5=0.0217mol*87.5\frac{J}{mol*\°C}[(150\°C)-(78.4\°C)] *\frac{1kJ}{1000J} =0.136kJ$
