Answer:

The answer to the question is

The specific heat capacity of the alloy = 1.77 J/(g·°C)

Explanation:

To solve this, we list out the given variables thus

Mass of alloy = 45 g

Initial temperature of the alloy = 25 °C

Final temperature of the alloy = 37 °C

Heat absorbed by the alloy = 956 J

Thus we have

ΔH = m·c·(T₂ - T₁) where  ΔH = heat absorbed by the alloy = 956 J, c = specific heat capacity of the alloy and T₁ = Initial temperature of the alloy = 25 °C , T₂ = Final temperature of the alloy = 37 °C  and m = mass of the alloy = 45 g

∴ 956 J = 45 × C × (37 - 25) = 540 g·°C×c  or

c = 956 J/(540 g·°C) = 1.77 J/(g·°C)

The specific heat capacity of the alloy is 1.77 J/(g·°C)

The answer for the following problem is described below.

<em><u> Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ</u></em>

Explanation:

Given:

enthalpy of combustion of glucose(ΔH_{f} of C_{6}H_{12} O_{6}) =-1275.0

enthalpy of combustion of oxygen(ΔH_{f} of O_{2}) = zero

enthalpy of combustion of carbon dioxide(ΔH_{f} of CO_{2}) = -393.5

enthalpy of combustion of water(ΔH_{f} of H_{2} O) = -285.8

To solve :

standard enthalpy of combustion

We know;

ΔH_{f}  = ∈ΔH_{f} (products) - ∈ΔH_{f} (reactants)

C_{6}H_{12} O_{6} (s) +6 O_{2}(g) → 6 CO_{2} (g)+ 6 H_{2} O(l)

ΔH_{f} = [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [6 (0) + (-1275)]

ΔH_{f} = [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [0 - 1275]

ΔH_{f} = 6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)  - 0 + 1275

ΔH_{f} = -2361 - 1714 - 0 + 1275

ΔH_{f} =-2800 kJ

<em><u> Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ</u></em>

Why is a typical car battery in a car is filled with a solution of sulferic acid
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.

In the past earths sea level has sometimes been lower at that time which of the following would have been a major difference in
valina [46]
The answer which would have been a major difference in the ocean basins is the following one:
<span>B. Mid-ocean ridges would have been chains of mountains.

Given that the waters were lower in the past, those ridges would no longer be just mid-ocean ridges, but complete mountains due to the low levels of water around them.</span>
