Answer:

75.12 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = CΔT................ equation 1

Where Q = amount of heat, C = Heat capacity, ΔT = temperature rise.

From the question,

Given: C = 62.6 J/K, ΔT = 1.20°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 62.6(1.20)

Q = 75.12 J

Hence the amount of heat it absorbed is 75.12 J

How many molecules of ammonia are contained in 10.4 moles of ammonia, NH3?

seraphim [82]

Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We do as follows:

10 mol NH3 ( 6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 6.022x10^24 molecules NH3

Arrange the following units in decreasing order: nm,km,pm,Dm,mm,m,cm,hm,gm

goblinko [34]

The units are nm (nano-meter), km (kilo-meter), pm (pico-meter), dm (decimeter), mm (millimeter), m (meter), cm (centimeter), hm (hectometer) and gm (gigameter). Now we can express each of these units in terms of m.

1 nm = $10^{-9}m$ , 1 Km = $10^{3}m$ 1 pm = $10^{-12}m$ , 1 dm = 0.1 m, 1 mm = 0.001 m, 1 cm = 0.01 m, 1 hm = 100 m, 1 gm = $10^{9} m$ . Thus the decreasing unit will be
