What amount of heat absorbs 50 g of steel (ce = 0.115 cal / g. ° C) that
does its temperature vary by 25 ° C?
Answer:
143.75cal
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of steel = 50g
Specific heat capacity of the steel = 0.115cal/g°C
Temperature = 25°C
Unknown:
Amount of heat = ?
Solution:
The amount of heat to cause this temperature change is dependent on mass and specific heat capacity of the substance.
Amount of heat = m C (ΔT)
m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature change
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Amount of heat = 50 x 0.115 x 25
Amount of heat = 143.75cal
We can explain this in a molecular level. We know that the difference between a gas and a liquid of the same composition is how fast their molecules are moving. So given a gas, their molecules are farther and faster when moving, but when they are cooled their bulk kinetic energy decreases. In other words their molecules start to move closer and move slower until it behaves more like a liquid molecule. This is the time when gases condense.
Mass box C is 10+5. (So C is 15)
But if C was 30, how many times could you put B (5) into it?
30/5 = 6
You would need 6 boxes of B to make 30 grams of C.
Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers are called isotopes
Because the valence shell of gases wants to become full
