Mercury has one of the lowest specific heats. This fact added to its liquid state at most atmospheric temperatures makes it effe

ctive for use in thermometers. If 257 J of energy are added to 540 g of mercury, the mercury's temperature will increase by 9 deg C. What is the specific heat of mercury?

Answer:

0.053 J/gºC

Explanation:

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

Mass (M) = 540 g

Heat (Q) = 257 J

Temperature rise (ΔT) = 9 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

The specific heat capacity of mercury can be obtained as illustrated below:

Q = MCΔT

257 = 540 × C × 9

257 = 4860 × C

Divide both side by 4860

C = 257 / 4860

C = 0.053 J/gºC

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of mercury of mercury is 0.053 J/gºC

The half-life of tritium (H-3) is 12.3 years. If 48.0mg of tritium is released from a nuclear power plant during the course of a
Rudiy27

Answer:

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of tritium = 12.3 years

Total mass pf tritium = 48.0 mg

Mass remain after 49.2 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives.

Number of half lives = T elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives =  49.2 years /12.3 years

Number of half lives =  4

Now we will calculate the amount left after 49.2 years.

At time zero 48.0 mg

At first half life = 48.0mg/2 = 24 mg

At second half life = 24mg/2 = 12 mg

At 3rd half life = 12 mg/2 = 6 mg

At 4th half life =  6mg/2 = 3mg

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Which statement describes an Arrhenius acid? A. It is a proton donor. B. It is a proton acceptor. C. It produces hydroxide ions
Katen [24]
Hello.

The answer is: D it produces hyrogen ions in a solution.

This is correct because when Arrhenius acid it turns into hydrogen ions.substance as an acid if it produces hydrogen ions H(+) or hydronium ions in water. A substance is classified as a base if it produces hydroxide ions OH(-) in water.

We can use two equations for this problem.<span>

t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half-life of the element and λ is decay constant.

20 days = 0.693 / λ 
λ   = 0.693 / 20 days        (1) 

Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt)                (2)

Where Nt is atoms at t time, No is the initial amount of substance, λ is decay constant and t is the time taken.
t = 40 days</span>

<span>No = 200 g

From (1) and (2),
Nt =  200 g eΛ(-(0.693 / 20 days) 40 days)
<span>Nt = 50.01 g</span></span><span>

</span>Hence, 50.01 grams of isotope will remain after 40 days.

Write a chemical equation for Ba(OH )2 (aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition.
Marina86 [1]
Balanced chemical reaction: Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).
According <span>to the Arrhenius definition barium hydroxide is base.
According this theory a</span>cids are substances which produce hydrogen ions in water solution, bases are substances which produce hydroxide ions in solution. Acids and bases when react (neutralisation) produce salt and water.
