A student claims that water's polarity is the reason it has a high specific heat.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Komok [63]2 years ago

Answer:

Perform research to see if other polar molecules have high specific heat

Explanation:

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by 1°C.

In this question, the student is trying to establish a relationship between polarity and specific heat of substances. This claim can be tested by performing a research to see if other polar molecules have high specific heat.

If the research shows that a large number of other polar molecules  have high specific heat, then the claim is confirmed to be true.

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0×1015Hz?
RideAnS [48]

The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons of cesium when it is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0 \times {10^{15}}\;{\text{Hz}}  is  \boxed{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}\;{\text{J}}}

Further Explanation:

Photoelectric effect:

When light is made to fall on any substance, electrons are emitted from it. This is known as the photoelectric effect and the emitted electrons are called photoelectrons. The electrons are emitted because of the transference of energy from light to the electrons.

Cesium is a member of the alkali metal group so it is highly reactive and shows photoelectric effect to the maximum extent. It can remove its electron so easily because of its atomic size. Due to large atomic size of cesium, its outermost electrons are held very less tightly to the nucleus and therefore removed easily.

According to the Planck-Einstein equation, the energy is proportional to the frequency and is expressed as follows:

{\mathbf{E=h\nu }}                                   ......(1)

Here,

{\text{E}} is the energy.

h is the Plank’s constant.

\nu is the frequency.

The frequency of UV rays is 1.0 \times {10^{15}}\;{\text{Hz}} or 1.0 \times {10^{15}}\;{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}

The value of Planck’s constant is 6.626 \times {10^{ - 34}}\;{\text{J}}\cdot{\text{s}} .

Substitute these values in equation (1)

\begin{aligned}{\text{E}}&=\left( {6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}\;{\text{J}}\cdot{\text{s}}}\right)\left( {1.0 \times {{10}^{15}}\;{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}}\right)\\&=6.63\times {10^{ - 19}}\;{\text{J}}\\\end{aligned}

But when electrons are ejected out from the surface of the substance, all of its energy is considered as kinetic energy.

So the kinetic energy of the electrons is {\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{.63 \times 1}}{{\mathbf{0}}^{{\mathbf{ - 19}}}}\;{\mathbf{J}} .

When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as?
Jet001 [13]
A force of attraction that holds atom together
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements.

All factors that cause an increase in the rate of dissolving have what in common?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

They increase the attractive forces between the solute and solvent particles.

Explanation:

The dissolution of a solute in a solvent depends on interaction between the solute and the solvent. The more the attractive force and interaction between solute and solvent, the greater the greater the rate of dissolution of the solute in the solvent.

The absence of interaction between solute and solvent molecules means that the substance can not dissolve in that particular solvent. Hence, any factor that enhances solute-solvent interaction will enhance dissolution of a solute in a particular solvent.
