A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 894.0g sample of a pure substance from to −

5.8°C to 17.5°C. The experiment shows that 4.90kJ of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the specific heat capacity of the substance?

Answer:

C = 0.2349 J/ (g °C)

Explanation:

Mass, m = 894.0g

Initial Temperature = −5.8°C

Final Temperature =  17.5°C

Temperature change = 17.5°C - (−5.8°C) = 23.3

Heat, H = 4.90kJ = 4900 J

Specific heat capacit, C = ?

The relationship between these quantities is given by the equation;

H = mCΔT

C = H / mΔT

C = 4900 / (894)(23.3)

C = 0.2349 J/ (g °C)

andrey2020 [161]
Homogeneous mixture that does not settle out upon standing but which will reflect light is called COLLOIDS.
There are three types of homogeneous mixtures, these are: solutions, colloids and suspension. Colloids are usually distinguished by Tyndall effects. Light passing through a colloidal dispersion will be reflected.<span />

Why does changing the volume of a container change the pressure of the gas in it?​
klio [65]

Changing the volume increases the area that the molecules collide with so the force is spread over a larger area.

During the first half of the 20th century, the theory of plate tectonics was developed. Evidence supporting this theory included
Makovka662 [10]

A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of  GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.

GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.

Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.

  • The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
  • It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
  • With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
  • Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
  • Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.
