Answer:

1.23 j/g. °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of metal = 35.0 g

Initial temperature = 21 °C

Final temperature = 52°C

Amount of heat absorbed = 320 cal  (320 ×4.184 = 1338.88 j)

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 52°C -  21 °C

ΔT = 31°C

1338.88 j= 35 g ×c× 31°C

1338.88 j= 1085 g.°C ×c

1338.88 j/1085 g.°C = c

1.23 j/g. °C = c

how many moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are required to completely neutralize 2 mol of nitric acid (HNO3)
Brut [27]

2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be needed.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sodium hydroxide is a compound which is a base and nitric acid is the acid. The formula of the nitric acid is HNO3 and that of sodium hydroxide is NaOH.

The reaction between them are

NaOH +HNO3 =NaNO3 +H2O.

So here we can see that 1 mole of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of nitric acid to produce 1 mole of sodium nitrate and 1 mole of water.

So for 2 moles of nitric acid, 2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be required.

If the coral and the fish were removed from the ocean ecostyem. How would the ecostyem change?
Ierofanga [76]
<h2>Removal of coral and fish will cause a great threat to the ocean ecosystem .</h2>

Explanation:

  • Biodiversity of the marine ecosystem will be markedly reduced
  • Marine food web will be affected leading to scarcity of food at each level
  • Mean trophic level of the ecosystem will be affected
  • The ocean chemistry will be changed
  • Habitat destruction of fishes which will affect other aquatic organisms living in the ocean
  • Increases ocean acidification and ocean carbon concentration
  • The animals interdependent on ocean ecosystem for food like some seal, walrus, and sea birds are affected due to scarcity of food through fishes
  • Corals are filter feeders and removing them will lead to eutrophication of coastal waters which in turn leads to algal bloom
  • Algal bloom leads to depletion of the ocean’s oxygen level
  • Corals are natural barriers and provide natural protection to shorelines and coastal landforms, removal will endanger the coastlines during floods, hurricanes, etc
