Answer:

c = 0.043 j/ g. °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Amount of sample = 500 g

Initial temperature = 55.0°C

Final temperature = 25.0°C

Heat required released = 640 J

Specific heat capacity of sample = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 25°C - 55°C

ΔT = -30°C

by putting values,

-640 J = 500 g × c × -30 °C

c  = 640 J / 500 g× 30 °C

c = 640 J /15000 g. °C

c = 0.043 j/ g. °C

Which solution will have the highest ph? the ka of hclo is 3.8 × 10−8.
Ilya [14]
The one with the highest pH would be a solution with 100 mL of water and also 20 mL of 0.1 M NaOH is added. Solutions without buffers would have the highest pH since the resistance to change is very low. Hope this answers the question.

What is the nature of this chlorine ion?
PIT_PIT [208]
As chlorine has seven electrons in its outer most shell so to complete its octet it has to gain an electron and when it gain an electron it will become an anion that is negatively charged
 so in my opinion and what a conclude is that the option B is correct for the above statement

Explain what happens in a nuclear chain reaction
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Nuclear Chain Reactions. A chain reaction refers to a process in which neutrons released in fission produce an additional fission in at least one further nucleus. This nucleus in turn produces neutrons, and the process repeats. The process may be controlled (nuclear power) or uncontrolled (nuclear weapons).

A compound has a percent composition of 15.24% sodium (molar mass = 22.99
RUDIKE [14]

The empirical formula of the compound obtained from the question given is NaBrO₃

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Sodium (Na) = 15.24%
  • Bromine (Br) = 52.95%
  • Oxygen (O) = 31.81%
  • Empirical formula =?

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula </h3>

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as illustrated below:

Divide by their molar mass

Na = 15.24 / 22.99 = 0.663

Br = 52.95 / 79.90 = 0.663

O = 31.81 / 16 = 1.988

Divide by the smallest

Na = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1

Br = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1

O = 1.988 / 0.663 = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is NaBrO₃
