A house is built with a granite countertop. The heat capacity of the countertop is 158.5 kJ/°C. A hot pan of water is placed on

the countertop, and 5000 J of heat energy is transferred into the countertop. By how much does the temperature of the countertop change?

The temperature of the countertop changes by 0.032 °C

The quantity of heat transferred to the countertop is given by

Q = CΔT where Q = quantity of heat transferred to the countertop = 5000 J = 5 kJ, C = heat capacity of the countertop = 158.5 kJ/°C and ΔT = temperature change of the countertop.

Since we require the temperature change of the countertop, we make ΔT subject of the formula.

So, ΔT = Q/C

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔT = Q/C

ΔT = 5 kJ/158.5 kJ/°C

ΔT = 0.032 °C

So, the temperature of the countertop changes by 0.032 °C

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.6 grams of z
storchak [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.375 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of zinc = 19.6 grams

Mass of water = 82.9 grams

Initial temperature of zinc T1= 98.37 °C

Initial temperature of water T1= 24.16 °C

Final temperature of water (and zinc) T2 = 25.70 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate Specific heat of zinc

Q=m*c*ΔT

Qzinc = -Qwater

m(zinc)*C(zinc)*ΔT(zinc) = -m(water)*C(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒ with mass of water = 82.9 grams

⇒ with C(water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 25.70 - 24.16 = 1.54

⇒ with mass of zinc = 19.6 grams

⇒ with C(zinc) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT(zinc) = T2 -T1 = 25.70 - 98.37 = -72.67°C

Qzinc = -Qwater

m(zinc)*c(zinc)* ΔT(zinc) = - m(water)*c(water)* ΔT(water)

19.6g* C(zinc) * (-72.67°C) = - 82.9g* 4.184 J/g°C * 1.54 °C

-1424.332*C(zinc) = -534.155

C(zinc) = 0.375 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.375 J/g°C

Amphetamine (C9H13N) is a weak base with a pKb of 4.2.
QveST [7]

Weak base: [OH⁻] = √Kb.C

pKb = 4.2

\tt Kb=10^{-4.2}

c = concentration

MM Amphetamine (C9H13N) = 135.21 g/mol

c = 215 mg/L = (0.215 g : 135,21 g/mol) / L = 0.00159 mol/L = 1.59  x 10⁻³ mol/L

\tt [OH^-]=\sqrt{10^{-4.2}\times 1.59\times 10^{-3}}=3.17\times 10^{-4}

pOH = 4 - log 3.17

pH = 14 - (4 - log 3.17)

pH = 10 + log 3.17 = 10.50

A 0.245-L flask contains 0.467 mol co2 at 159 °c. Caculate the pressure using Van der Walls equation
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The right answer is "60.56 atm".

Explanation:

As we know,

Vander wall's equation is:

⇒ (P+\frac{n^2 a}{v^2} )(v-nb)=nRT

or,

⇒ P=\frac{nRT}{(v-nb)}-\frac{n^2 a}{v^2}

Here,

a = 3.59 L² atm mol⁻²

b = 0.0427 L mol⁻¹

By putting the values in the above equation, we get

⇒ P=\frac{0.467\times 0.0821\times 432}{0.245-0.467\times 0.0427}

       =\frac{(0.467)^2\times 3.49}{(0.245)^2}

       =73.61-13.05

       =60.56 \ atm

What was important about the Hydrogen bright line emission spectrum?
Art [367]

Answer:

The emission spectrum lines are the changes in the quantum energy levels of the single electron in the Hydrogen atom.

Explanation:

Electrons move around the hydrogen atom in electron waves patterns. These waves occur in distinct quantum energy levels.

The change from one quantum energy level to another energy level has a definite energy level change. There is a wave length associated with each change in energy levels. These wave lengths have a color associated with them.

Low energy level changes have long wave lengths associated with them giving red and orange colors.

High energy level changes have short wave lengths associated with them giving blue and violet colors.

Note each atom has a unique emission spectrum associated with the energy levels and electron structure of the atom. Helium was first discovered by looking at its emission spectrum as seen in the sun.
