To solve this exercise we will use the concept related to heat loss which is mathematically given as

Q = mC_p \Delta T

Where,

m = mass

C_p= Specific Heat

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Replacing with our values we have that

m = 0.1g

C_p = 139J/Kg\cdot K \rightarrow Specific heat of mercury

\Delta T = 8.5\°C-15\°C = -6.5\°C \Rightarrow -6.5K

Replacing

Q = (0.1*10^3)(138)(-6.5)\\Q = -0.09J

Therefore the heat lost by mercury is 0.09J

Based on the replacement reaction, what would the products of the reaction be?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Explanation:

                    BeSO₄ + 2NH₄OH → Be(OH)₂ + (NH₄)₂SO₄

In a replacement reaction, an atom or ion substitutes or replaces another in a reaction. We can have single replacement or double replacement reaction.

The above is a double replacement reaction. In this type of reaction, partners are exchanged to form compounds. In a single replacement, one substance is replacing another.

Damm [24]

Answer:

d)2.13 C s⁻¹

Explanation:

Rate of flow of heat through walls

=\frac{KA(T_2-T_1)}{d}

K = .33

A = 6 X .4 X .4 =0.96

T₂-T₁ = 30+40 = 70

d = 5 x 10⁻³

Put these data in the relation above

Rate of flow of heat

= \frac{.33\times.96\times70}{5\times10^{-3}}

= 4435.2 Js⁻¹

Specific heat of gas = 2.5 R = 20.785 J

Rise in temp = \frac{4435.2}{100\times20.785}

= 2.13 degree celsius.
