How does the specific heat capacity determine heating and cooling

Chemistry
1 answer:
jeyben [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Specific heat is Jg−oK . So, a high value means that it takes MORE energy to raise (or lower) its temperature. ... Adding heat to a “low specific heat” compound will increase its temperature much more quickly than adding heat to a high specific heat compound.

Write a balanced nuclear reaction for the following:
Andru [333]
<span>Balanced nuclear reaction: 234/91 Pa → 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac.
1) number of protons and neutrons on both side of nuclear reaction must be the same. There are 91 protons (atomic number) and 143 neutrons (mass number - atomic number, 234 - 91 = 143 or (4-2) + (230 - 89) = 143)) on both side of reaction.
2) a</span>lpha decay is radioactive decay<span> in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four, so atomic mass of new element is 89 (91 - 2) and mass number is 230 (234 - 4 = 230).
3) look at atomic number, element with atomic number 89 is actinium.</span>

A piece of iron is heated to 120'C then placed in a calorimeter containing 50g of water. The water temperature is raised from 30
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Mass of iron = 59.375 gm

Explanation:

Calories ( or joules) are added to the water by the hot steel so at the endpoint they are BOTH at 40 C

 The water gains:

     4.18  j/g-C  * 50 * (40-30 C) = 2090 j

The steel gave up 2090 j going from 120 to 40 C

2090 = .44 j/g-C  * m * (120-40)    solve fro m = 59.375 gm
