Answer:

0.583 kilojoules

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to pop a single kernel can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity of water (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

From the given information, m = 0.905 g, initial temperature (room temperature) = 21°C , final temperature = 175°C, Q = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 0.905 × 4.184 × (175°C - 21°C)

Q = 3.786 × 154

Q = 583.044 Joules

In kilojoules i.e. we divide by 1000, the amount of heat is:

= 583.04/1000

= 0.583 kilojoules

The compound methylamine, CH3NH2, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibrium
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory:

  • An acid is a substance that donates H⁺.
  • A base is a substance that accepts H⁺.

When methylamine reacts with water, it behaves as a Brönsted-Lowry base, according to the following reaction.

CH₃NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The basic equilibrium constant (Kb) is:

Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]

A spinning turbine can generate electricity only in the form of a/an _______ current.
Tom [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - <u>alternating</u> and <u>direct</u>, in order.

Explanation:

Alternating current is is type of electric current that is characterized by the direction of the flow of electrons in continuously switches its directs in opposite manner at regular cycles. While direct current or DC is flow of the electrons that move from starting to end in one direction.

Spinning turbines always leads to the alternating electric current while only solar energy produces the direct current with the help of the solar panels.

Thus, the correct answer is -  <u>alternating</u> and <u>direct</u>, in order.

In a titration, 4.7 g of an acid (HX) requires 32.6 mL of 0.54 M NaOH(aq) for complete reaction. What is the molar mass of the a
katrin2010 [14]

Answer : The molar mass of an acid is 266.985 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Mass of an acid (HX) = 4.7 g

Volume of NaOH = 32.6 ml = 0.0326 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.54 M = 0.54 mole/L

First we have to calculate the moles of NaOH.

\text{Moles of }NaOH=\text{Molarity of }NaOH\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.54mole/L\times 0.0326L=0.017604mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of an acid.

In the titration, the moles of an acid will be equal to the moles of NaOH.

Moles of an acid = Moles of NaOH = 0.017604 mole

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of and acid.

\text{Moles of an acid}=\frac{\text{Mass of an acid}}{\text{Molar mass of an acid}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

0.017604mole=\frac{4.7g}{\text{Molar mass of an acid}}

\text{Molar mass of an acid}=266.985g/mole

Therefore, the molar mass of an acid is 266.985 g/mole
