The material which is part of the system that absorbed heat is; The water.

Discussion:

According to the question;

  • Water was initially at room temperature.
  • We know by convention, ammonium nitrate is a cold substance.

In essence, the heat liberated from the system must have been absorbed by the water so that the outside of the container after mixing becomes cold.

This is so because water has a high specific heat capacity.

The material that absorbs the heat of the system is water owing to its high specific heat capacity.

The specific heat capacity of a substance refers to the amount of heat that is capable of increasing the temperature of 1 Kg of a body by 1 K. The higher the specific heat capacity, the more the amount of heat that the body can absorb without temperature change.

The material that absorbs the heat of the system is water because water has a higher specific heat capacity than all the other materials present.

Determine % yield if a student obtains 45 g of product in an experiment and the theoretical amount is determined to be 50 g. *
ycow [4]

Answer:

90%

Explanation:

Percentage yield = ?

Theoretical yield = 50g

Actual yield = 45g

To calculate the percentage yield of a compound, we'll have to use the formula of percentage yield which is the ratio between the actual yield to theoretical multiplied by 100

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

Percentage yield = (45 / 50) × 100

Percentage yield = 0.9 × 100

Percentage yield = 90%

The percentage yield of the substance is 90%

The specific heat of gold is 0.031 calories/gram°C and the specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories/gram°C. If equal amounts of
Vikki [24]
I think the substance that will heat up faster would be the silver metal since it has a higher heat capacity. Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the system into one degree. Heat capacity and heat energy is directly related so higher value of heat capacity would lead to higher heat energy.
