Answer:

The correct answer is 187.7 J/Jg.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the specific heat of fusion is,

Specific heat of fusion = Q/m

Here Q is the heat energy added, signified in kJ, and m is the mass of the object in kg.

Based on the given information, the heat energy added or Q is 869 kJ and the mass of the ice is 4.6 Kg

Now putting the values in the formula we get,

Specific heat of fusion = Q/m

Specific heat of fusion = 863 kJ / 4.6 Kg = 187.7 J/Kg

A scuba diver knows that she needs 50.0mol of air for an upcoming dive. What size (volume) tank will she need to fill for this d

erica [24]

Answer:

1120 L.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, as no conditions of pressure of temperature are given for this problem, we can assume that the scuba diver dives at STP (1 atm and 273.15 K), which means that 1 mole of air would occupy a volume of 22.4 L.

In such a way, since she needs 50.0 moles of air, the following ratio is useful to compute the size (volume) of the tank she needs:

$V_2=\frac{V_1*n_2}{n_1}$

Thereby, we plug in to obtain:

$V_2=\frac{22.4L*50.0mol}{1mol}\\\\V_2=1120 L$

Best regards!

a sample of 25.0g of an unknown metal is added to 25.0ml of water in a graduated cylinder and the final volume is 28.5ml what is

leva [86]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 7.14 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass of metal = 25 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 28.5 - 25 = 3.5 mL

It's density is

$density = \frac{25}{3.5} \\ = 7.142857...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

What type of energy has caused the fewest deaths per unit of energy produced?

mash [69]

Answer: Nuclear energy is by far the safest energy source in this comparison – it results in more than 442 times fewer deaths than the 'dirtiest' forms of coal; 330 times fewer than coal; 250 times less than oil; and 38 times fewer than gas.

How would you know if a precipitate was formed without performing the chemical reaction

Goshia [24]

Hey there

Thats easy

Precipitation occurs when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic compound called precipitation. So, you can refer to a solubility chart or draw polar/nonpolar lewis structures, that might be helpful.
Remember water is polar so polar molecules will dissolve in water
