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.

Suppose of sodium chloride is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate. Calculate the final molarity of sodium cat
mariarad [96]

Answer:

0.103 M.

Explanation:

The balanced equation of reaction is given below;

2NaCl + (NH4)2SO4 -----------------> Na2SO4 + 2NH4Cl

The parameters given from the question are; mass of Sodium chloride, NaCl = 0.197 g, the volume of ammonium sulphate is 100 mL = 0.1 litres, concentration of ammonium sulfate = 54.0mM = 0.054 mol/L.

Step one: Calculate the number of moles of NaCl by using the formula below;

Number of moles,n= mass/ mass number.

Number of moles,n = 0.917/ 58.5.

Number of moles, n= 0.0157 g/mol.

Step two: find the number of moles of ammonium sulfate.

Hence, the number of moles of ammonium sulfate, n = concentration (mol/L) of ammonium sulfate × volume.

Therefore, the number of moles of ammonium sulfate, n = 0.054 × 0.1.

the number of moles of ammonium sulfate, n = 0.0054 mol.

Step three: Calculate the excess moles of NaCl.

That is; 0.0157 - 0.0054 = 0.0103 mol.

Step four: Calculate the final molarity of sodium cation in the solution.

[Na^+] = number of moles/ total volume.

[Na^+] = 0.0103 mol/ 0.1.

0.0103 mol= 0.103 M.

DNA replication results in two identical DNA molecules. What role do DNA helicases have in DNA replication?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
I'm pretty sure since one chemical can only bind with one other type, um, I think that one side of the DNA helicase helps make the other side?

Which compound contains a triple bond?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: C2H2

Explanation: Because each of the lines represent one bond, and because there are three lines (bonds) between the carbons, it means that they are bonded by three bonds, also known as a triple bond.
