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

a sample of sucrose was burned in a calorimeter, and 41,600 joules oh heat energy were released. which statement is true about t
Gala2k [10]

It absorbed 41,600 joules.

Explanation:

If the sample of sucrose burnt in the calorimeter releases 41600Joules of heat, then the water in the calorimeter will absorb 41600J.

 The heat lost by burning the sucrose in the calorimeter is also the heat gained by the water therein.

A calorimeter is a device by prevents heat loss to the environment in any form.

It is specially designed to minimize heat loss by conduction, convection radiation.

Therefore, since no heat is lost, the heat released by burning the sucrose is used in heating the water there.

How plastic polymer types of compositions, surface hydrophobicity, crystallinity, porosity, size, shapes, aging or degree of wea
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.

Bubba falls out of a plane flying over his peanut field. What will bubba speed be after falling for 8 seconds?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Variables we know:

t = 8 seconds

Vi = 0 m/s

g = -9.81

Δy = ?

Vf = ?

Equation we will be using to solve for Vf: Vf = Vi + gt

Steps to solve:

Vf = (0) + (-9.81)(8)

Vf = -78.48 m/s

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the molarity of a 10 L solution containing 5.0 moles of solute?
Setler79 [48]
Molarity = Moles of solute/ L(liters) of solution

So let's plug in the information. 

5.0 moles/10L = 0.5 M
