Answer:The earths plates shifting

Explanation: The movement releases stored-up 'elastic strain' energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake.

What is the quantity of heat (in kJ) associated with cooling 185.5 g of water from 25.60°C to ice at -10.70°C?Heat Capacity of S
Cerrena [4.2K]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, sensible heat and latent heat,  the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

<h3>Sensible heat</h3>

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

<h3>Latent heat</h3>

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

  • <u><em>25.60 °C to 0 °C</em></u>

First of all, you should know that the freezing point of water is 0°C. That is, at 0°C, water freezes and turns into ice.

So, you must lower the temperature from 25.60°C (in liquid state) to 0°C, in order to supply heat without changing state (sensible heat).

The amount of heat a body receives or transmits is determined by:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

  • c= Heat Capacity of Liquid= 4.184 \frac{J}{gC}
  • m= 185.5 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 0 °C - 25.60 °C= - 25.6 °C

Replacing:

Q1= 4.184 \frac{J}{gC}× 185.5 g× (- 25.6 °C)

Solving:

<u><em>Q1= -19,868.98 J</em></u>

  • <u><em>Change of state</em></u>

The heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q = m×L

where L is called the latent heat of the substance and depends on the type of phase change.

In this case, you know:

n= 185.5 grams× \frac{1mol}{18 grams}= 10.30 moles, where 18 \frac{g}{mol} is the molar mass of water, that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

ΔHfus= 6.01 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Replacing:

Q2= 10.30 moles×6.01 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Solving:

<u><em>Q2=61.903 kJ= 61,903 J</em></u>

  • <u><em>0 °C to -10.70 °C</em></u>

Similar to sensible heat previously calculated, you know:

  • c = Heat Capacity of Solid = 2.092 \frac{J}{gC}
  • m= 185.5 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= -10.70 °C - 0 °C= -10.70 °C

Replacing:

Q3= 2.092 \frac{J}{gC} × 185.5 g× (-10.70) °C

Solving:

<u><em>Q3= -4,152.3062 J</em></u>

<h3>Total heat required</h3>

The total heat required is calculated as:  

Total heat required= Q1 + Q2 +Q3

Total heat required=-19,868.98 J + 61,903 J -4,152.3062 J

<u><em>Total heat required= 37,881.7138 J= 37.8817138 kJ= 37.88 kJ</em></u>

In summary, the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.

A 800N mountain climber scales a 160m cliff. How much work is done by the mountain climber?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Work done, W = 128 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of a mountain climber, F = 800 N

It climbs to a cliff that is 160 m high.

We need to find the work done by the mountain climber. The work done by an object is given by the formula as follows :

W = Fd

Put the values of F and d.

W = 800 N × 160 m

W = 128000 J

or

W = 128 kJ

So, 128 kJ of work is done by the mountain climber.

Describe the trend in electronegativity of the elements ?​
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.

Explanation:

Make sure to edit so you don't get copy-writed.
