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

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of the unknown substance, m = 0.158 kg = 158 g

Heat absorbed Q = 2510.0 J

Initial temperature T1 = 32 C

Final temperature T2 = 61 C

<u>To determine:</u>

The specific heat of the substance

<u>Explanation:</u>

The heat absorbed to raise the temperature from T1 to T2 is-

Q = mcΔT

where c = specific heat

c = Q/mΔT = Q/m(T2-T1)

c = 2510 J/158 g * (61-32) C = 0.548 J/gC

Ans: Specific of the substance is 0.548 J/gC

Roundup, an herbicide manufactured by Monsanto, has the formula C3H8NO5P. How many moles of molecules are there in a 669.1-g sam
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.4 ×10^24 molecules of the herbicide.

Explanation:

We must first obtain the molar mass of the compound as follows;

C3H8NO5P= [3(12) + 8(1) + 14 +5(16) +31] = [36 + 8 + 14 + 80 + 31]= 169 gmol-1

We know that one mole of a compound contains the Avogadro's number of molecules.

Hence;

169 g of the herbicide contains 6.02×10^23 molecules

Therefore 669.1 g of the herbicide contains 669.1 × 6.02×10^23/ 169 = 2.4 ×10^24 molecules of the herbicide.

What can properties of substances tell us about the electrical forces within those<br> substances?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

HS-PS1-3

Explanation:

Plan and carry out an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles. Examples of bulk properties of substances could include the melting point and boiling point, vapor pressure, and surface tension.

2KOH+H2SO4=k2SO4+2H2O Is a balanced equation, displaying the combination of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid increase pota
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The number of moles of potassium hydroxide, KOH required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is 8 moles of KOH

Explanation:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

From the above reaction, we have 2 moles of KOH combining with 1 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1 mole of K₂SO₄  and 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore the number of moles of potassium hydroxide that will be needed to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is;

8KOH + 4H₂SO₄ → 4K₂SO₄ + 8H₂O

8 moles of KOH is required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄.
