Answer:

Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 250 mL to Liters = 250/1000 = 0.25 L

Final temperature, T2 = 30°C

Final volume, V2 = 0.5 L

To find the initial temperature T1, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

\frac {V}{T} = K

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Making T1 the subject of formula, we have;

T_{1}= \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} * T_{2}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

T_{1}= \frac{0.25}{0.5} * 30

T_{1}= 0.5 * 30

<em>Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C</em>

1. How much heat (in calories) is needed to raise 20 g of H2O from 5°C to 40°C? (c = 1.0 cal/g °C)
KIM [24]

Answer:

700 calories

Explanation:

Using the formula below:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat required (calories)

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific heat of substance (cal/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to this question, the following information was provided;

Q = ?

m = 20g

c = 1.0 cal/g °C

∆T = 40°C - 5°C = 35°C

Using the formula; Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 20 × 1 × 35

Q = 700 calories

Hence, 700 cal of heat energy is needed to raise 20 g of H2O from 5°C to 40°C.

Which of the alternative energy sources do you think would have the least impact on the environment.
QveST [7]
Solar Power, Microbial fuel cell. These two and I am sure other ways as well Solar power as you guess use the sun as a power energy source with non-waste and long lasting use. Microbial fuel uses the bacteria aka decomposers turn the sugars, nutrients into rich soil while also releasing electrons back into the soil and can be used as a energy source.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosophorus. This transfer makes the sodium atoms positive and the phosphorus atoms negative. As a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
