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

If 23.6 g of hydrogen gas reacts with 28.3 g of nitrogen gas, what is the maximum amount of product that can be produced?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

34.3 g NH3

Explanation:

M(H2) = 2*1 = 2 g/mol

M(N2) = 2*14 = 28 g/mol

M(NH3) = 14 + 3*1 = 17 g/mol

23.6 g H2* 1 mol/2 g = 11.8 mol H2

28.3 g N2 * 1 mol/28 g = 1.01 mol N2

                                 3H2 + N2 ------> 2NH3

from reaction         3 mol    1 mol

given                   11.8 mol    1.01 mol

We can see that H2 is given in excess, N2 is limiting reactant.

                                 3H2 + N2 ------> 2NH3

from reaction                     1 mol         2 mol

given                                 1.01 mol      x

x = 2*1.01/1= 2.02 mol NH3

2.02 mol * 17g/1 mol ≈ 34.3 g NH3
