Answer:

0.076 J/gºC.

Explanation:

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

Mass (M) of object = 1.32 kg

Heat (Q) released = –1.95 kJ

Change in temperature (ΔT) = –19.5°C (decrease in temperature)

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Next, we shall convert 1.32 kg to grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

1 kg = 1000 g

Therefore,

1.32 kg = 1.32 kg × 1000 g / 1 kg

1.32 kg = 1320 g

Next, we shall convert –1.95 kJ to joule (J). This can be obtained as follow:

1 kJ = 1000 J

Therefore,

–1.95 kJ = –1.95 kJ × 1000 / 1 kJ

–1.95 kJ = –1950 J

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (M) of object = 1320 g

Heat (Q) released = –1950 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = –19.5°C (decrease in temperature)

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Q = MCΔT

–1950 = 1320 × C × –19.5

–1950 = –25740 × C

Divide both side by –25740

C = –1950 / –25740

C = 0.076 J/gºC

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the object is 0.076 J/gºC.

The mass and volume of each box is given in the chart below. Calculate the density of each box. Density = Mass/ volume which box
stira [4]

Box C will have the greatest density.

All boxes have the same volume.

Explanation:

We calculate the density using the following formula:

density = mass / volume

density of Box A = 10 g / 20 cm³ = 0.5 g/cm³

density of Box B = 30 g / 20 cm³ = 1.5 g/cm³

density of Box C = 170 g / 20 cm³ = 8.5 g/cm³

Box C will have the greatest density.

All boxes have the same volume.

63Ni decays by a first-order process via the emission of a beta particle. The 63Ni isotope has a half-life of 100. years. How lo
rewona [7]

Answer:

151.4863 years

Explanation:

Half life, t1/2 = 100 years

Initial concentration,[A]o = 100%

Final concentration, [A] = 35% (after 65% have been decayed)

Time = ?

Half life for a first Order reaction is given as;

t1/2 = ln (2) / k

k = ln(2) / 100

k = 0.00693y-1

The integral rate law for first order reactions is given as;

ln[A] = ln[A]o − kt

kt = ln[A]o - ln[A]

t = ( ln[A]o - ln[A]) / k

t = [ln(100) - ln(35)] /0.00693

t = 1.0498 / 0.00693

t = 151.4863 years
