Specific heat is the amount of heat absorb or released by a substance to change the temperature to one degree Celsius. To determine the specific heat, we use the expression for the heat absorbed by the system. Heat gained or absorbed in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:
Heat = mC(T2-T1)
By substituting the given values, we can calculate for C which is the specific heat of the material.
2510 J = .158 kg ( 1000 g / 1 kg) (C) ( 61.0 - 32.0 °C)C = 0.5478 J / g °C
Answer:
6.7 x 10²⁶molecules
Explanation:
Given parameters
Mass of CO₂ = 4.9kg = 4900g
Unknown:
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
To find the number of molecules, we need to find the number of moles first.
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + 2(16) = 44g/mol
Number of moles = 
= 111.36mole
A mole of substance is the quantity of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³molecules
111.36 moles = 111.36 x 6.02 x 10²³molecules = 6.7 x 10²⁶molecules
Answer:
CaCl₂
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>empirical formula</em> is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.
So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ca to Cl.
Data:
Mass of Ca = 3.611 g
Mass of Cl = 6.389 g
Calculations
Step 1. <em>Calculate the moles of each element
</em>
Moles of Ca = 3.611 g Ca × (1 mol Ca/(40.08 g Ca)= 0.090 10 mol Ca
Moles of Cl = 6.389 g Cl
Step 2. <em>Calculate the molar ratio of the elements
</em>
Divide each number by the smallest number of moles
Ca:Cl = 0.090 10:0.1802 = 1:2.000
Step 3. Round the molar ratios to the nearest integer
Ca:Cl = 1:2.000 ≈ 1:2
Step 4: <em>Write the empirical formula
</em>
EF = CaCl₂
Answer:
20% of phosphorus
Explanation:
A fertilizer is used to improve the fertility of soils. Most fertilizers contains the element nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
They are often designated NPK fertilizers.
Now we know that the numbers 10-20-20 depicts the nitrogen-phosphorus and potassium content of the fertilizer.
From the designation,
The actual percentage is 20% of phosphorus.
10% of nitrogen
20% of potassium
Salt crystals are shaped like cubes. Salt is part of the isometric crystal system.
