Because teachers don’t really understand it all that well themselves so they can’t teach it effectively
The heat needed to raise the temperature of 50g of substance by 15 c is calculated as follows
Heat = mc delta T
m= mass (50g)
c= specific heat capacity (0.92)
delta T= change in temperature( 15 c)
heat is therefore= 50 x 0.92 x 15 = 690
Nb: my answer has no units since the given specific heat capacity has no units
Answer:
2.4 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Initial pressure (P₁): 755 torr
- Final pressure (P₂): 1.87 atm
Step 2: Convert "P₁" to atm
We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 torr.
755 torr × 1 atm/760 torr = 0.993 atm
Step 3: Convert "T" to K
We will use the following expression.
K = °C + 273.15
K = 25°C + 273.15 = 298 K
Step 4: Calculate the initial number of moles of He
We will use the ideal gas equation.
P₁ × V = n₁ × R × T
n₁ = P₁ × V/R × T
n₁ = 0.993 atm × 16.8 L/(0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K
n₁ = 0.682 mol
Step 5: Calculate the final number of moles of He
We will use the ideal gas equation.
P₂ × V = n₂ × R × T
n₂ = P₂ × V/R × T
n₂ = 1.87 atm × 16.8 L/(0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K
n₂ = 1.28 mol
Step 6: Calculate the moles of He added
n = n₂ - n₁
n = 1.28 mol - 0.682 mol
n = 0.60 mol
Step 7: Convert "n" to mass
The molar mass of He is 4.00 g/mol
0.60 mol × 4.00 g/mol = 2.4 g
Answer:
The Law of Definite Proportions ensures that chemical compounds are always created using the same proportions, regardless of the amount of the compound which is being made
