25.0 g of mercury is heated from 25°C to 155°C, and absorbs 455 joules of heat in the

Physics
1 answer:
anastassius [24]3 years ago

Answer:

0.048J/g°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Mercury  = 25g

Initial temperature  = 25°C

Final temperature  = 155°C

Amount of heat absorbed  = 455J

Unknown:

Specific heat capacity of mercury  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      Q  = m x C  x Δt

Q is the heat absorbed

m is the mass

C is the unknown specific heat capacity

Δt is the change in temperature;

          455  = 25 x C x (155  - 25)

          455  = 25 x C x 130

             C  = 0.048J/g°C

How are meteors and meteorites different?
konstantin123 [22]

A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

A vessel with an unknown volume is filled with 10 kg of water at 90oC. Inspection of the vessel at equilibrium shows that 8 kg o
damaskus [11]

Hey there!

In this case, it is possible to solve this problem by using the widely-known steam tables which show that at 90 °C, the pressure that produces a vapor-liquid mixture at equilibrium is about 70.183 kPa (Cengel, Thermodynamics 5th edition).

Moreover, for the calculation of the volume, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the vapor-liquid mixture, given the quality (x) it has:

x=\frac{m_{steam}}{m_{total}}

Thus, since 8 kg correspond to liquid water, 2 kg must correspond to steam, so that the quality turns out:

x=\frac{2kg}{10kg} =0.20

Now, at this temperature and pressure, the volume of a saturated vapor is  2.3593 m³/kg whereas that of the saturated liquid is 0.001036 m³/kg and therefore, the volume of the mixture is:

v=0.001036m^3/kg+0.2(2.3593-0.001036 )m^3/kg=0.4727m^3/kg

This means that the volume of the container will be:

V=10kg*0.4727m^3/kg\\\\V=4.73m^3

Regards!

Two stars, both of which behave like ideal blackbodies, radiate the same total energy per second. The cooler one has a surface t
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let hotter star has surface area of A . The cooler star would have surface area 9 times that of hotter star ie 9A , because its radius is 3 times hot star. Let temperature of hot star be T ₁.

Total radiant energy is same for both the star

Using Stefan's formula of black body radiation,

For cold star E = 9A x σ T⁴

For hot star E = A x σ T₁⁴

A x σ T₁⁴ = 9A x σ T⁴

T₁⁴ = (√3)⁴T⁴

T₁ = √3T .

b )

Let the peak intensity wavelength be λ₁ and λ₂ for cold and hot star .

As per wein's law

for cold star , λ₁ T = b ( constant )

for hot star  λ₂ √3T = b

dividing

λ₁ T / λ₂ √3T = 1

λ₂  / λ₁ =  1 / √3
