A piece of iron (C=0.449 J/g°C) and a piece of gold (C=0.128 J/g°C) have identical masses. If the iron has an initial temperatur

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of iron is much greater than that of gold, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 498 K than to 298 K

Explanation:

Iron is hotter and gold is colder, therefore, according to laws of thermodynamics, iron will lose heat to gold until they are at the same temperature.

The specific heat capacity of iron(0.449) is over three times that of gold(0.128). Since masses are equal, this means that each time iron's temperature drops by one degree, the energy released it releases makes gold's temperature increase by more than 3 degrees. So gold's temperature will be climbing much faster than iron's is falling. Meaning they will meet closer to the initial temperature of iron than that of gold

Dinitrogen tetraoxide, N2O4, decomposes to nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in a first-order process. If k = 1.5 x 103 s-1 at 5 ºC and k =

Arada [10]

Answer:

The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol

Explanation:

Using the expression,

$\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )$

Wherem

$k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1$

$k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2$

$E_a$ is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol

Thus, given that, $E_a$ = ?

$k_2=4.0\times 10^3s^{-1}$

$k_1=1.5\times 10^3s^{-1}$

$T_1=5\ ^0C$

$T_2=25\ ^0C$

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (5 + 273.15) K = 278.15 K

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

$T_1=278.15\ K$

$T_2=298.15\ K$

So,

$\ln \frac{1.5\times 10^3}{4.0\times 10^3}\:=-\frac{E_{a}}{8.314}\times \left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)$

$E_a=-\ln \frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4.0\times \:10^3}\:\times \frac{8.314}{\left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)}$

$E_a=-\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4\times \:10^3}\right)}{\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}}$

$E_a=-\frac{689483.53266 \ln \left(\frac{1.5}{4}\right)}{20}$

$E_a=33813.28\ J/mol$

<u>The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol</u>

What are function of lipids

olga2289 [7]

Lipids serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signalling molecules. They include fats, waxes, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes and function as energy-storage molecules and chemical messengers.

Hope this helped :)
