Does specific heat change with mass?

1 answer:

7 0

Heat capacity ( C ) does change with mass. However, specific heat is the heatcapacity per unit mass ( c=Cm ). Therefore if you double the amount of mass in your system, you've doubled its heat capacity, but you've kept the specific heat the same. ... Specific gravity is another such quantity.

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: $24.70 ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece $m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg$

mass of water in calorimeter $m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg$

Initial temperature of water $T_w=24^{\circ}C$

Initial temperature of lead piece $T_l=24^{\circ}C$

we know heat capacity of lead and water are $125.604 J/kg-k$ and $4.184 kJ/kg-k$ respectively

Let us take $T ^{\circ}C$ be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

$m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)$

$0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)$

$86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)$

$86-T=86.97T-2087.49$

$T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C$

3) An electron moves in a circular orbit of radius 0.11 mm, counterclockwise as you look down at it, moving in a plane above and

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

B = 0.15 T

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field you use the following formula:

$B=\frac{mv}{qr}$ ( 1 )

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

v: velocity of the electron = 3*10^6 m/s

q: charge = 1.6*10^-19

r: radius = 0.11mm = 0.11*10^-3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1).

$B=\frac{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(3*10^6\frac{m}{s})}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(0.11*10^{-3}m)}=0.15T$

the magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.15 T

To create "dry ice," manufacturers compress and cool carbon dioxide gas until it solidifies. Describe what happens to the carbon

tester [92]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. When a substance is cooled, the average kinetic energy of its molecules is reduced tremendously. Thus, the molecules of the substance no longer move at high speeds.

Gases, according to the ideal theory of gas molecules do not associate but are infinitely free and move at very high speeds. However, when cooled, the kinetic energy of these molecules become sufficiently low so as to allow intermolecular association. Secondly, compressing the carbon dioxide gas increases the pressure and decreases its volume. This further makes the carbon dioxide molecules to associate more rapidly. Since dry ice is sublime, CO2 doesn't pass through a liquid state, rather a highly ordered solid-state called dry ice is formed.

A traveler covers a distance of 413 miles in a time of 7 hours. What is the average speed for his trip?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

59/mph.

Explanation:

We just have to divide the number of miles, by the amount of time it took. 413 miles / 7 hours = 59 miles per hour.
