Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity is an intensive physical property of matter. It is a measure of the quantity of heat that must be supplied in order to change the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1°C.

The specific heat capacity of a substance determines the quantity of heat that must be supplied in order to effect a temperature change of a unit mass of a substance. The higher the specific heat capacity of a substance, the greater the quantity of heat required to effect a temperature change in a given mass of the substance.

The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 Joules per kilogram while the specific heat capacity of copper is 385 Joules per kilogram. Hence, the heat capacity of water is far greater than that of copper and consequently, 50 g of copper require less heat (q) than 50 g of water, in order to raise the temperature by 15 oC.

What is the total pressure in a container with 256 mm Hg of Oz, 198 mm Hg of He,
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

P(total pressure) = 504 mmHg = 504mm/760mm/atm = 0.663 atm

Explanation:

Apply Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.

P(total) = ∑Partial Pressures = ∑(256mm + 198mm + 48mm) = 504 mmHg

P(total pressure) = 504 mmHg = 504mm/760mm/atm = 0.663 atm

For the reaction between solid tetraphosphorus trisulfide and oxygen gas to form solid tetraphosphorus decoxide and sulfur dioxi

<h3>What is a tetraphosphorus decoxide?</h3>

Tetraphosphorus decoxide, () is a non-metal oxide that gives acidic property when dissolved in water.

The name phosphorus decoxide can be interpreted as 4 phosphorus (P) atoms (‘Tetra’), bonds with 10 oxygen (O) atoms (‘Dec’) in a molecule. besides that, it is also known as phosphorus pentoxide.

It can be prepared by heating pure phosphorus with oxygen in blast furnace.

+  →

It is used as a dehydrating agent due to its week van der Waals dispersion forces. Thus, owing to give exothermic reaction when dissolved in watermore precisely, it is a white crystalline anhydrous (without water molecule) solid.

In granular form it can be also used as desiccant as well.

Which particle diagram represents a mixture of three substances
Anni [7]

Following the key in the diagram (see the attached image), the only particle diagram that represents a mixture of three substances is diagram 2.

To simplify it, let us replace the key in the diagram as follows;

  1. atom of one element = A
  2. atom of different element = B

Diagram 1 consists of only AA and AB

Diagram 2 consists of AA, BB, and AB.

Diagram 3 consists of AA and ABA

Diagram 4 consists of AA and BAB

Thus, only diagram 2 has a mixture of 3 substances.

Produced by the stomach to destroy bacteria
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Your stomach lining also secretes hydrochloric acid, which creates the ideal conditions for the protein-digesting enzymes to work. The potent hydrochloric acid kills bacteria, protecting your body from harmful microbes which can enter your body in food.
