Answer:

823.7g

Explanation:

Using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

Using the information given in this question as follows:

Q = 6,400 J

m = ?

c of soil = 0.840 J/g°C

∆T = 9.25°C

Using Q = mc∆T

m = Q ÷ c∆T

m = 6,400 ÷ (0.840 × 9.25)

m = 6400 ÷ 7.77

m = 823.7g

Answer:

There are 823.68 grams.

Explanation:

Calorimetry is responsible for measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.

Between heat and temperature there is a relationship of direct proportionality. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body and its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. In summary, the amount of heat Q that receives or transmits a mass m of a substance with specific heat C to raise its temperature from T1 to T2 is given by the formula:

Q= C*m* (T2- T1) = C*m* ΔT

In this case:

  • Q= 6400 J
  • C= 0.840 \frac{J}{g*C}
  • m= ?
  • ΔT= 9.25 C

Replacing:

6400J= 0.840 \frac{J}{g*C} *m* 9.25 C

Solving:

m=\frac{6400 J}{0.840 \frac{J}{g*C} *9.25 C}

m=823.68 grams

<u><em>There are 823.68 grams.</em></u>

. Using the pH scale below what would be the pH value of an Acid? *
earnstyle [38]

Answer : The pH value of an acid is below 7.

Explanation :

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration.

Mathematically,

pH=-\log [H^+]

When the pH less than 7 then the solution is acidic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than hydroxide ion.

When the pH more than 7 then the solution is basic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is less than hydroxide ion.

When the pH is equal to 7 then the solution is neutral and the concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to the hydroxide ion.

Hence, the pH value of an acid is below 7.

Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit. F=95(C)+32 On February 9, 1934,
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934

Explanation:

Temperature is the measure of thermal energy present in a given substance. It is a physical property of a matter which can be measured on the Celsius scale (°C), Fahrenheit scale (°F), and Kelvin scale (K).

<u>To convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), we use the equation:</u>

°F = 9/5 (°C) + 32

Given: On February 9, 1934,

Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 29) °C

Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F

<u>To convert T₁ from °C to °F:</u>

9/5 (- 29 °C) + 32 = (- 52.2) + 32 = (- 20.2) °F

So,

Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 20.2) °F

Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F

⇒ T₁ < T₂

<u>Therefore, Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934.</u>

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The activation energy is 164.02 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Log (k2/k1) = Ea/2.303R × [1/T1 - 1/T2]

k1 = 8.9×10^-4 s^-1

k2 = 9.83×10^-3 s^-1

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T1 = 540 K

T2 = 578 K

Log (9.83×10^-3/8.9×10^-4) = Ea/2.303×8.314 × [1/540 - 1/578]

1.043 = 6.359×10^-6Ea

Ea = 1.043/6.359×10^-6 = 164020 J/mol = 164020/1000 = 164.02 kJ/mol
