Answer:
c =0.2 J/g.°C
Explanation:
Given data:
Specific heat of material = ?
Mass of sample = 12 g
Heat absorbed = 48 J
Initial temperature = 20°C
Final temperature = 40°C
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 = 40°C -20°C
ΔT = 20°C
48 J = 12 g×c×20°C
48 J =240 g.°C×c
c = 48 J/240 g.°C
c =0.2 J/g.°C
Answer:
protons
Explanation:
An element, by definition, always has the same number of protons. Sodium, element 11, has 11 protons. Anything with 11 protons is a sodium atom, regardless of the number of neutrons, electrons, or politicians.
Answer:
In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed.
<span><em>Answer:</em>
A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons, and <u>36</u> electrons.
<em>Explanation:
</em>Atomic number<em> of </em>Strontium (Sr) is 38.
<em>Atomic number = number of protons
</em>Hence, Strontium has 38 protons.
If the element is in neutral state,
number of protons = number of electrons.
Then, neutral Strontium atom should have 38 electrons.
But the question says Sr has lost 2 electrons. Hence, number of electrons should be 38 - 2 = 36.
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.
The given mass number is 90. Hence, number of neutrons should be 90 - 38 = 52.</span>
Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,
The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:
22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol
The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:
3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol
The percentage composition by mass is:
47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)
