The specific heat of the unknown substance with a mass of 0.158kg is 0.5478 J/g°C

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:

The specific heat capacity of a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

  • Q = quantity of heat absorbed (J)
  • c = specific heat capacity (4.18 J/g°C)
  • m = mass of substance
  • ∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to this question, 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the 0.158kg substance from 32.0°C to 61.0°C. The specific heat capacity can be calculated:

2510 = 158 × c × (61°C - 32°C)

2510 = 4582c

c = 2510 ÷ 4582

c = 0.5478 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the unknown substance that has a mass of 0.158 kg is 0.5478 J/g°C.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

The magnitude of the force is 35.12 N

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the friction is zero and the force causes motion of a stationary mass

One of the equations of motion is required such as

v² = u² + 2× a× s

Where

v = Final velocity = 5.93 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s , object at rest

a = acceleration

s = distance moved = 32 meters

But v = Distance/Time = 32 m /5.4 s = 5.93 m/s

Therefore

5.93² = 2×a×32

or a = 35.12/ 64 = 0.55 m/s²

Therefore Force F = Mass m × Acceleration a

Where mass m = 64 kg

Therefore F = 64 kg×0.55 m/s² = 35.12 N

Calculate the change in internal energy (δe) for a system that is giving off 25.0 kj of heat and is changing from 12.00 l to 6.0
lora16 [44]

Since the system itself is giving off heat, this is a reduction in the internal energy.

heat = - 25,000 J

 

Since work is being done on the system, therefore it is an additional energy to the system. Work is given as:

work = - P dV

work = - 1.50 atm (6 L – 12 L)

work = 9 L atm

Since it is given that 1 L atm is equivalent to 101.3 J, therefore the total energy added is:

energy due to work = 9 L atm (101.3 J / 1 L atm)

energy due to work = 911.7 J

 

Therefore the total change in internal energy is the sum of heat and energy due to work:

Change in internal energy = - 25,000 J + 911.7 J

Change in internal energy = - 24,088.3 J

 

<span>Therefore, approximately 24.1 kJ of energy is lost by the system in the total process.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Answer:</span>

<span>-24.1 kJ</span>
