The negative sign on an exponent means the reciprocal. Think of it this way: just as a positive exponent means repeated multiplication by the base, a negative exponent means repeated division by the base.

An iron block of mass 18 kg is heated from 285 K to 318 K. If 267.3 kJ is required, what is the specific heat of iron? A. 450.00
valkas [14]

Answer:

  • <u>Option A. 450.00</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) m = 18 kg

b) T₁ = 285 K

c) T₂ = 318 K

d) Q = 267.3 kJ

e) S = ?

<u>2) Principles and equations</u>

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed to increase the temperature of certain amount (gram, kg, or moles, depending on the definition or units) of the substance in 1 ° C or 1 K.

The mathematical relation between the specific heat and the heat energy absorbed is:

  • Q = m × S × ΔT

Where,

  • Q is the heat absorbed,
  • S is the specific heat, and
  • ΔT is the temperature increase (T₂ - T₁)

<u>3) Solution:</u>

<u>a) Substitute the data into the equation:</u>

  • 267.3 kJ = 18 kg × S × (318 K - 285 K)

<u>b) Solve for S and compute:</u>

  • S = 267.3 kJ / (18 kg × 33 K) = 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K)

The options have not units, but I notice that the first answer is 1,000 times the answer I obtained, so I will make a conversion of units.

<u>c) Convert to J /( kg . k):</u>

  • 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K) × 1,000 J / kJ = 450 J / (kg . K)

Now we can see that the option A is is the answer, assuming the units.

Define an ideal gas and explain under which conditions you may reasonably approximate a real gas as an ideal gas. Also mention c
TEA [102]

Answer:

High temperature and low pressure

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, gases are composed of small particles called molecules which are in constant motion.

At high temperature and low pressure, gas molecules possess high kinetic energy and move at high velocities hence intermolecular interaction is almost none existent and real gases approach the behavior of ideal gases.
