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.

Base your answer on the information below. The hydrocarbon 2-methylpropane reacts with iodine as represented by the balanced equ
Kryger [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is affected by the nature of bonding in the molecule as well as the nature of intermolecular forces between molecules of the substance.

2-methylpropane has only pure covalent and nonpolar C-C and C-H bonds. As a result of this, the molecule is nonpolar and the only intermolecular forces present are weak dispersion forces. Therefore, 2-methylpropane has a very low boiling point.

As for 2-iodo-2-methylpropane, there is a polar C-I bond. This now implies that the intermolecular forces present are both dispersion forces and dipole interaction. As a result of the presence of stronger dipole interaction between 2-iodo-2-methylpropane molecules, the compound has a higher boiling point than  2-methylpropane.

Silver is a white metal that is an excellent conductor. Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and light. The density of silver is
Stells [14]

Answer:

c tarnishes in air

Explanation:

After silver has been exposed to air that contains sulphur gases, discoloration would occur. there would be darkening that is caused by the reaction with gases.When any silver object tarnishes, it brings about a disfiguring of that object. Hydrogen sulphide would be needed for this to happen. silver sulphide is black and a if a thin layer should form on any surface, it ill darken it. This  is what we refer to as tarnishing.

Write balanced complete ionic equation for hcl(aq)+lioh(aq)→h2o(l)+licl(aq) express your answer as a chemical equation. identify
Svet_ta [14]

Explanation:

An equation is said to be balanced when the number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal in number.

Whereas an equation where electrolytes in an aqueous solution are represented as dissociated ions is known as an ionic equation.

For example, HCl(aq) + LiOH(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}O(l) + LiCl(aq) can be represented in ionic form as follows.

   H^{+} + Cl^{-} + Li^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O(l) + Li^{+} + Cl^{-}

Now, cancelling the common ions present on both sides of the equation. The resulting, ionic equation will be as follows.

                 H^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O(l)
