Answer:

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of material = ?

Mass of sample = 12 g

Heat absorbed = 48 J

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 40°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  40°C -20°C

ΔT =  20°C

48 J = 12 g×c×20°C

48 J =240 g.°C×c

c = 48 J/240 g.°C

c =0.2 J/g.°C

Why are pipes bursting in the in extremely cold weather?
avanturin [10]

Water is the only common substance that when you freeze it, it's volume INCREASES.

When the pipe originally held the "all full" volume and the the water expanded, it put a tremendous amount of pressure on the pipe. Enough pressure and the pipe would burst.

Find the pHpH of a solution prepared from 1.0 LL of a 0.15 MM solution of Ba(OH)2Ba(OH)2 and excess Zn(OH)2(s)Zn(OH)2(s). The Ks
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

pH  = 13.09

Explanation:

Zn(OH)2 --> Zn+2 + 2OH-   Ksp = 3X10^-15

Zn+2 + 4OH-   --> Zn(OH)4-2   Kf = 2X10^15

K = Ksp X Kf

  = 3*2*10^-15 * 10^15

  = 6

Concentration of OH⁻ = 2[Ba(OH)₂] = 2 * 0.15 = 3 M

                Zn(OH)₂ + 2OH⁻(aq)  --> Zn(OH)₄²⁻(aq)

Initial:           0             0.3                      0

Change:                      -2x                     +x

Equilibrium:               0.3 - 2x                 x

K = Zn(OH)₄²⁻/[OH⁻]²

6 = x/(0.3 - 2x)²  

6 = x/(0.3 -2x)(0.3 -2x)

6(0.09 -1.2x + 4x²) = x

0.54 - 7.2x + 24x² = x

24x² - 8.2x + 0.54 = 0

Upon solving as quadratic equation, we obtain;

x = 0.089

Therefore,

Concentration of (OH⁻) = 0.3 - 2x

                                    = 0.3 -(2*0.089)

                                  = 0.122

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

         = -log 0.122

          = 0.91

pH = 14-0.91

     = 13.09
