Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 56 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

We are given the mass, specific heat, and temperature, so we must use this formula for heat energy.

q=mc \Delta T

The mass is 5 grams, the specific heat capacity is 0.14 Joules per gram degree Celsius. Let's find the change in temperature.

  • ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
  • ΔT= 95°C - 15°C = 80°C

We know the variables and can substitute them into the formula.

m= 5 \ g \\c= 0.14 \ J/ g \ \textdegree C \\\Delta T= 80 \ \textdegree C

q= (5 \ g )( 0.14 \ J/ g \ \textdegree C ) ( 80 \ \textdegree C)

Multiply the first numbers. The grams will cancel.

q= 0.7 \ J/ \textdegree C(80 \ \textdegree C )

Multiply again. This time the degrees Celsius cancel.

q= 56 \ J

56 Joules of heat are needed.

149.3 g of H2O at 95 ◦C is poured over 412 g Fe at 5 ◦C in an insulated vessel. What is the final temperature? The specific heat
abruzzese [7]
You are correct, but you needn't worry about the signs so much. Just remember that the negative sign is used to denote a loss of energy; since the water is hotter, it will be losing energy (-Q) and the iron will gain energy (Q). Now, we substitute the values:
-149.3 * 4.184 * (T - 95) = 412 * 0.44 * (T - 5)
Solving this equation for T,
T = 74.8 °C

Concentrated hydrochloric acid is made by pumping hydrogen chloride gas into distilled water. If concentrated HCl contains 439 g
Elza [17]

Answer:

12.10 mol / 1 L

Explanation:

Molarity of a substance , is the number of moles present in a liter of solution .

M = n / V

M = molarity ( unit = mol / L or M )

V = volume of solution in liter ( unit = L ),  

n = moles of solute ( unit = mol ),  

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,

n = w / m

n = moles ,

w = given mass ,

m = molecular mass .  

From the question ,

The data given is as follows -

w = 439 g

As , we known for HCl ,

m = 36.46 g/mol

V = 1 L

From the above data ,

Moles are given as -

n = w / m

n = 439 / 36.26 = 12.10 mol ,

Now , the molarity is given as ,

M = n / V

M = 12.10 mol / 1 L

M = 12.10 mol /L

vekshin1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We know that photosynthesis involves the combination of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to yield glucose.

If the atmosphere is rich in carbon dioxide such as  in a green house where air is filled with carbon dioxide, the rate of photosynthesis is increased.

As the rate of photosynthesis is increased, the growth of plants is also increased.

Hence, in a greenhouse where the air contains more carbon dioxide, the rate of plant growth increases.
