1. At constant tempaerature and pressure, 3 tablets produce 600cm^3 of gas
Thus calculating for 1 tablet that produces 600 / 3 = 200 cm^3
So now two tablets produce 200 x 2 = 400 cm^3
2. We have the equation PV = nRT, n being the number of moles
Pressure P = 1,000 kPa
Volume V = 3 L
R = 8.31 L kPa/mol-K
Temperature T = 298 K
n = PV / RT = (1000 x 3) / (8.31 x 298) = 3000 / 2476.38 = 1.21 moles
Number of moles = 1.21 moles.

How many joules of energy do you have if you have 0.45 L of water in a can and you heat the 23C water to 55C site:socratic.org
Bess [88]

Answer:

Q = 60192 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of water = 0.45 L

Initial temperature = 23°C

Final temperature = 55°C

Amount of heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

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 =  55°C - 23°C

ΔT = 32°C

one L = 1000 g

0.45 × 1000 = 450 g

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 j/g°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 450 g.  4.18 j/g°C.  32°C

Q = 60192 j
