2. Why are there so many volcanoes in California? ​

Chemistry

Kruka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Most higher risk volcanoes are far from California’s largest cities and several produce heat that’s used to generate electricity in what are the world’s most productive geothermal power plants, such as the Salton Buttes, 160 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and the Clear Lake Volcanic Field 85 miles north of San Francisco that powers the Geysers steam field.

Answer:

In order to be able to solve this problem, you will need to know the value of water's specific heat, which is listed as

c=4.18Jg∘C

Now, let's assume that you don't know the equation that allows you to plug in your values and find how much heat would be needed to heat that much water by that many degrees Celsius.

Take a look at the specific heat of water. As you know, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is needed in order to increase the temperature of 1 g of that substance by 1∘C.

In water's case, you need to provide 4.18 J of heat per gram of water to increase its temperature by 1∘C.

What if you wanted to increase the temperature of 1 g of water by 2∘C ?

This will account for increasing the temperature of the first gram of the sample by n∘C, of the the second gramby n∘C, of the third gram by n∘C, and so on until you reach m grams of water.

And there you have it. The equation that describes all this will thus be

q=m⋅c⋅ΔT , where

q - heat absorbed

m - the mass of the sample

c - the specific heat of the substance

ΔT - the change in temperature, defined as final temperature minus initial temperature

In your case, you will have

q=100.0g⋅4.18Jg∘C⋅(50.0−25.0)∘C

q=10,450 J

A thermometer having first-order dynamics with a time constant of 1 min is placed in a temperature bath at 100oF. After the ther
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(a) See below

(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F

Explanation:

The equation relating the temperature to time is

T = T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )

1. Calculate the thermometer readings after  0.5 min and 1 min

(a) After 0.5 min

\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.6065)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.3935)\\ & = & 100 + 3.935\\ & = & 103.935\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}

(b) After 1 min

\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.6321)\\ & = & 100 + 6.321\\ & = & 106.321\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}

2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min

T₀ =106.321 °F

ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F

  t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late

\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-(t - 1)/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-(2 - 1)/1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (0.6321)\\ & = & 106.321 - 3.996\\ & = & 102.325\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}

3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.

The graphs are shown below.

PLEASEEE HELPPP I SUCK AT CHEM :(
Luda [366]

Answer:

a) H2SO4 + 2KOH -> 2H2O + K2SO4

b) 9.809 ml

Explanation:

Number of Moles = Mass/ Molar Mass

Therefore: Mass = Number of moles * Molar Mass

--------------------------------------------

Molar mass of H2SO4:

H2= 2.02

S= 32.07

O4= 64

--------------------------------------------

H2SO4 has the molar mass of 98.09

--------------------------------------------

the Moles of H2SO4 is given to be 0.100M

Therefore:

Mass= 98.09*0.1

          = 9.809g

---------------------------------------------------

Assuming that 1 g= 1 ml, the volume of sulfuric acid is 9.809 ml.
