The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

Let suppose that water experiments an entirely <em>sensible</em> heating. Hence, the heat released by the fuel is equal to the heat <em>absorbed</em> by the water because of principle of energy conservation. The heat <em>released</em> by the fuel is expressed by the following formula:

Q = m\cdot c \cdot \Delta T (1)

Where:

  • m - Mass of the sample, in grams.
  • c - Specific heat of water, in calories per gram-degree Celsius.
  • \Delta T - Temperature change, in degrees Celsius.

If we know that m = 10\,g, c = 1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} and \Delta T = 9\,^{\circ}C, then the heat released by the fuel is:

Q = (10\,g)\cdot \left(1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (9\,^{\circ}C)

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

Where did water become gas?
ASHA 777 [7]
Answer: Water becomes gas at D-E.

Explanation:
In the flat line D-E water is absorbing energy to become gas, and when the water is completely gas, the temperature will increase again therefore the line will rise up.

Ethanedioic acid, a compound that is present in many vegetables, has a molar mass of 90.04 g/mol and a composition of 26.7% Carb

Answer:

Empirical CHO2

Molecular C2H2O4

Explanation:

To determine the formulas, firstly, we need to divide the percentage compositions by the atomic masses.

Kindly note that the atomic mass of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are 12, 16 and 1 respectively. We proceed with the division as follows:

C = 26.7/12 = 2.225

H = 2.2/1 = 2.2

O = 71.1/16 = 4.44375

We then proceed to divide by the smallest value which is 2.2 in this case

C = 2.25/2.2 = 1

H = 2.2/2.2 = 1

O = 4.44375/2.2 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula is CHO2

We now proceed to get the molecular formula as follows

[12+ 1 + 16(2) ]n = 90.04

45n = 90.04

n = 90.04/45 = 2

The molecular formula is :

C2H2O4

a difference in density between gases creates buoyancy, which is the ability of an object to float. At 0 degrees celsius, helium
GaryK [48]

Answer: for an object or gas or liquid to float in another there must be a difference in density

Explanation:

Helium has a density of 0.18 kg/m³ and air has a density of 1.29 kg/m^³. If a balloon is filled with helium it will float in air due to density differences

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces
