Graphite has strong bonds which gives it high boiling and melting points. With a high boiling point and melting points graphite can not melt easily, and thus is why it is preferred in hot situations such as an industrial kiln.

How much heat is absorbed when 447 g of water , Cp = 4.184 J/goC, goes from 25.0 oC to 35.0 oC?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  Q = 18702.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass of water = m = 447 g

Cp = 4.184 J/g°C

Temperature 1 = T1 = 25°C

Temperature 2 = T2 = 35°C

Heat = Q = ? Joules

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate heat

    Q = mCp(T2 - T1)

2.- Substitution

    Q = (447)(4.184)(35 - 25)

3.- Simplification

    Q = (447)(4.184)(10)

4.- Result

    Q = 18702.5 J

What is the [OH-] of a substance that has a pH of 11?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

0.001 M OH-

Explanation:

[OH-] = 10^-pOH, so

pOH + pH = 14 and 14 - pH = pOH

14 - 11 = 3

[OH⁻] = 10⁻³ ; [OH-] = 0.001 M OH-
