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 molar heat of fusion of platinum (Pt) is 4.700 kcal/mol. How much heat must be added to 85.5 g of solid platinum at its melt
Andre45 [30]
The heat required to completely melt the given substance, platinum, we just have to convert first the given mass in mole and multiply the answer to its molar heat of fusion.. 
                              Hf  = mass x (1/molar mass) x molar heat of fusion
                            Hf = (85.5 g) x (1 mole/195.08 g) x 4.70 kcal/mol
                                   Hf = 2.06 kcal

At the beginning of an experiment, a scientist has 176 grams of radioactive goo. After 165 minutes, her sample has decayed to 5.
Paul [167]
The half-life equation is written as:

An = Aoe^-kt

We use this equation for the solution. We do as follows:

5.5 = 176e^-k(165)
k = 0.02
<span>What is the half-life of the goo in minutes? 
</span>
0.5 = e^-0.02t
t = 34.66 minutes <----HALF-LIFE


Find a formula for G(t) , the amount of goo remaining at time t.G(t)=? 

G(t) = 176e^-0.02t

How many grams of goo will remain after 50 minutes? 

G(t) = 176e^-0.02(50) = 64.75 g

How much percent of shops are in the city? How about in the country?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

I would say there would be 5-10% in a city, and maybe 10-20% in the country. It mainly varies depending on how big the city is, how many people/districts there are, and the size of the country, which makes it hard to give a certain percent of shops, as there may be small businesses included as well or new shops being built.

Hope this helps! This was pretty confusing for me as well so i hope the answer is alright (×﹏×)

Which pair shares the same empirical formula?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:- 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6

Explanations:- An empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in the molecule/compound.

For example, the molecular formula of benzene is C_6H_6 . The ratio of C to H in it is 6:6 that could be simplified to 1:1. So, an empirical formula of benzene is CH.

In the first pair, the ratio of C to H in first molecule is 2:4 that could be simplified to 1:2 and  the empirical formula is CH_2 . In second molecule the ratio of C to H is 6:6 and it could be simplified to 1:1. and the empirical formula is CH. Empirical formulas are different for both the molecules of first pair and so it is not the right choice.

In second pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:2, so the empirical formula is CH_2 . The C to H ratio for second molecule is 1:4, so the empirical formula is CH_4 . Here also, the empirical formulas are not same and hence it is also not the right choice.

In third pair, C to H ratio in first molecule is 1:3, so the empirical formula is CH_3 . In second molecule the C to H ratio is 2:6 and it is simplified to 1:3. So, the empirical formula for this one is also CH_3 . Hence. this is the correct choice.

In fourth pair, first molecule empirical formula is CH. Second molecule has 2:4 that is 1:2 mole ratio of C to H and so its empirical formula is CH_2 . As the empirical formulas are different, it is not the right choice.

So, the only and only correct pair is the third one. 3. CH_3 and C_2H_6
