Answer:

0.213 J/g°C

Explanation:

To calculate specific heat of the metal, the formula is used:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where Q = amount of heat

m = mass

c = specific heat

∆T = change in temperature

According to this question, Q = 37.7 J, m= 12.5 g, initial temperature= 19.5 °C, final temperature = 33.6°C, c=?

Q = m × c × ∆T

37.7 = 12.5 × c × (33.6-19.5)

37.7 = 12.5c × 14.1

37.7 = 176.25c

c = 37.7/176.25

c = 0.2139

Hence, the specific heat of the metal is 0.213 J/g°C

Ammonia gas is compressed from 21°C and 200 kPa to 1000 kPa in an adiabatic compressor with an efficiency of 0.82. Estimate the
Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

It is known that efficiency is denoted by \eta.

The given data is as follows.

     \eta = 0.82,       T_{1} = (21 + 273) K = 294 K

     P_{1} = 200 kPa,     P_{2} = 1000 kPa

Therefore, calculate the final temperature as follows.

         \eta = \frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{T_{2}}    

         0.82 = \frac{T_{2} - 294 K}{T_{2}}    

          T_{2} = 1633 K

Final temperature in degree celsius = (1633 - 273)^{o}C

                                                            = 1360^{o}C

Now, we will calculate the entropy as follows.

       \Delta S = nC_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + nR ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}

For 1 mole,  \Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}

It is known that for NH_{3} the value of C_{v} = 0.028 kJ/mol.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

     \Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}

                = 0.028 kJ/mol \times ln \frac{1633}{294} + 8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ \times ln \frac{200}{1000}

                = 0.0346 kJ/mol

or,             = 34.6 J/mol             (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, entropy change of ammonia is 34.6 J/mol.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The answer is: A

Explanation:

The wave-like contractions are to be considered a physical change as they do not take part in the breaking-down of the food. The peptidase is a chemical change because it is used to chemically break down the food to retrieve nutrients and such.

Which statement is TRUE regarding the macroscopic and
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Chemists make observations on the macroscopic a scale that lead to conclusions about microscopic features

Explanation:

Many important chemical observations are made on the macroscopic scale. This is because, many of the scientific equipments available are not presently able to provide direct evidence about microscopic processes. Evidences obtained from macroscopic observations could serve as important insights into the nature of certain microscopic processes.

This is evident in the study of the structure of the atom. Most of the evidences that led to the deduction of the atomic structure were obtained from macroscopic evidence but ultimately provided important information about the microscopic structure of the atom.

In which of these statements are protons, electrons, and neutrons correctly compared?
stiv31 [10]
<span>Quarks are present in protons and neutrons but not in electrons. Quarks are sub-atomic particles that have mass, but not an integer of charge. Protons and neutrons are made up of quarks, but electrons are not since they are energy travelling with a charge of energy, not matter with mass. Quarks have mass, therefore cannot be in electrons.</span>
