1. Which is the metric standard for measuring energy?

The <u>metric standard for measuring of energy </u>defined by the International System of Units is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of a newton in a displacement of one meter in the direction of force. So,

1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg·m²/s²

Calorie is also frequently used in scientific and technological applications. Calorie is a <u>unit of thermal energy that is equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius</u>.

1 cal = 4,184 J

2. Which unit is used for specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity (c) is a physical quantity that is defined as the <u>amount of heat (</u><u>q</u><u>) that must be supplied to the mass unit of a thermodynamic substance or system to raise its temperature by one unit.</u> So,

c = q / m ΔT

where m is the mass of the substance and ΔT is the temperature increase.

In this way, as heat is a form of energy, the International System of Units expresses the specific heat in <u>joules per kilogram and per kelvin</u> (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). Another common unit, not belonging to the SI, is the <u>calorie per gram and per degree centigrade</u> (cal g⁻¹ ° C⁻¹).

3. If you wanted to compare the abilities of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use?

You should use units of specific heat capacity (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) since, as mentioned above, this is a physical quantity that measures the amount of heat that must be supplied to an specific mass of a substance or system to raise its temperature.

Heat is a thermal energy, so <u>by using heat capacity units you can compare the ability of</u><u> </u><u>olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy by varying its temperature.</u>

What happens to a reducing agent during a redox reaction?
Nuetrik [128]
Reducing agent is an compound/atom, that loses an electron and is oxidized.

0.........+I.............+II............0
Ca + 2HCl ----> CaCl₂ + H₂

Calcium is oxidized --- it's reducing agent (reductant).
Hydrogen is reduced --- HCl is oxidizing agent.

In the first step of the reaction, which compound is the limiting reagent: sodium hydroxide or the nucleophile
anastassius [24]
Since the nucleophile is the actual attacking molecule or molecule that starts the reaction and allows for further steps in the mechanism to occur, it is the limiting reagent, as based on the amount of the nucleophile you have, the reaction will tend to proceed until you run out. The excess would be the sodium hydroxide, it is union part of the solution.

In 3–5 sentences, explain the various factors that should be considered when implementing green roofs
Kruka [31]

Answer:

you should consider waterproofing. depending on the climate in your area, you need to apply multiple layers of waterproofing in the roof for it to support vegetation. you should also confused the types of plants. the types of plants is important for the success of your roof. if you live in a dry area, you don't want to choose plants that can live in dry areas without drying out.
