vredina [299]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Theory

Explanation:

We are given the statement;

"A helium filled balloon floats."

Now, this statement is an attempt to explain to us why balloons float. And the reason is because they are filled with helium. This is no prediction or law or observation because to find out if the balloons contain helium, there must have been experiments to confirm that.

Thus, the statement in the question is a theory.

2. HOW MUCH HEAT IS REQUIRED TO BE RELEASED WHEN
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: -112200J

Explanation:

The amount of heat (Q) released from an heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = ?

Mass of water vapour = 30.0g

C = 187 J/ G°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 100°C - 120°C = -20°C

Then apply the formula, Q = MCΦ

Q = 30.0g x 187 J/ G°C x -20°C

Q = -112200J (The negative sign does indicates that heat was released to the surroundings)

Thus, -112200 joules of heat is released when cooling the superheated vapour.

A certain amount of gas at 25 C and at a pressure of 0.800 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Suppose that the vessel can with
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

=745 Kelvin

Explanation:

  • According to the pressure law the relationship between the pressure and absolute temperature of a  gas at a constant volume is directly proportional.
  • An increase in temperature causes a corresponding increase in pressure at a constant volume.

That is;

P\alpha T

Mathematically;

P = kT\\(Constant)k =\frac{P}{T} \\

When there are two varying conditions;

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case;

P1 = 0.8 atm

T1 = 25+273 = 298 K

P2 =2.00 atm

T2= ?

Therefore;

T2= \frac{P2T1}{P1}

T2= \frac{(2)(298)}{0.8}

= 745 K

Therefore, the temperature can be raised up to 745 kelvin without bursting vessel.

Benzene is a starting material in the synthesis of nylon fibers and polystyrene (styrofoam). Its specific heat capacity is 1.74
katovenus [111]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The amount of energy released or absorbed is equal the product of the mass, the specific heat capacity and the temperature change. The temperature change being the difference between the final and initial temperature.

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat energy (Joules, J) m = mass of a substance (kg) c = specific heat (units J/g∙K)

∆ is a symbol meaning "the change in" ∆T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)

From the data provided in the question, we can deduce that:

Q = 16.7KJ = 16,700J

m = 225g

c = 1.74J/g.k

For the temperature, let the final temperature be f. This means our ∆T = f - 20

16,700 = 225 * 1.74 * (f - 20)

16700 = 391.5 (f - 20)

f - 20 = 16700/391.5

f - 20 = 42.7

f = 20 + 42.7 = 62.7

Hence the final temperature is 62.7 degrees Celsius
