Determine the specific heat ofmaterial if a 12g sample absorbed 48j as it was heated from 20-40

Chemistry
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
6 0

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

What is true about resonance structures? Select the correct answer below: They are all different molecules. The interconvert wit
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>They each partially describe the bonding in a molecule.</em>

Explanation:

Some chemical molecules cannot be described completely by using only one Lewis structure. In these cases, we can describe the molecule by drawing 2 or more Lewis structures, and the structures are called <u>resonance structures</u>. The overall molecular structure is explained by all the resonance structures together. So, they each describe the bonding in the molecule only partially.

Question: convert 22.63 miles of oxygen to volume<br><br> very urgent
Stels [109]

Answer:

506.912 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of O₂ = 22.63 moles

Volume of O₂ =?

Recall:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at STP.

With the above information, we obtained the volume occupied by 22.63 moles of O₂ as follow:

1 mole of O₂ occupied 22.4 L at STP.

Therefore, 22.63 moles of O₂ will occupy = 22.63 × 22.4 = 506.912 L at STP.

Thus, 22.63 moles of O₂ is equivalent to 506.912 L.

How is sodium peroxide formed?​
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Sodium peroxide can be prepared on a large scale by the reaction of metallicsodium with oxygen at 130–200 °C, a process that generates sodium oxide, which in a separate stage absorbs oxygen: 4 Na + O2 → 2 Na2O. The ozone oxidizes the sodium to form sodium peroxide.

Place the following compounds in order of decreasing strength of intermolecular forces. I. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 II. (CH3)3CCH3 III
Vitek1552 [10]

Explanation:

Strength of intermolecular forces depends on the number of carbon atoms present in a compound. More is the number of carbon atoms attached linearly  to each other more will be the surface area occupied by it. Hence, more is the strength of the compound.

This means that more is the branching present in a compound or lesser is the number of carbon atoms present in it then less will be the strength of intermolecular forces in the compound.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are placed in order of decreasing strength of intermolecular forces as follows.

CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3 > (CH_3)_3CCH_2CH_3 > (CH_3)_3CCH_3

A 15.50 gram sample of a gas exerts a pressure of 1.40 atmospheres when held in an 8.00 liter at 22 °C. What is the molar mass (
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

33.5 g/mol

Explanation:

PV=nRT

(1.40 atm)(8.00 L)=n(0.08206)(295 K)

n=0.463 mol

15.50 g/0.463 mol=33.5 g/mol
