If, as a pioneer, you wished to warm your room by taking an object heated on top of a pot-bellied stove to it, which of the foll

owing 15-pound objects, each heated to 100°C, would be the best choice? The specific heat capacity (in J/g·K) for each substance is given in parentheses. Iron (0.450), copper (0.387), granite (0.79), gold (0.129), water (4.184).

Answer:

Waterwould be the best choice

Explanation:

<em>The specific heat capacity</em> refers to how much energy is required to raise the temperature of an object. The higher the specific heat capacity, the more energy is required to heat a given substance. This would also mean that w<u>ith a higher specific heat capacity, a substance would be able to retain more heat</u>.

With the above statements in mind, water would be the best choice, because it would retain more heat than the other substances once it reaches 100 °C, and in turn water would emit the most heat while it cools.

The combustion of propane (c3h8) produces co2 and h2o: c3h8 (g) + 5o2 (g) → 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) the reaction of 2.5 mol of o2 wi
Andrews [41]
The answer is 2 mol of H₂O will be produced.
The balanced equation for the chemical reaction is:

<span>c3h8 (g) + 5o2 (g) → 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) 
5 moles of O</span>₂ produces 4 moles of H₂O, and when there is 2.5 mol of O₂, moles of H₂O will be:
2.5 x 4/5 = 2 mol of H₂O

Calculate the mass of 25,000 molecules of nitrogen gas. (1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecules)
Ainat [17]

Hey there!

Molar mass N2 = 28.01 g/mol

Therefore:

28.01 g N2 -------------- 6.02*10²² molecules N2

( mass N2 ?? ) ----------- 25,000 molecules N2

mass N2 =  ( 25,000 * 28.01 ) /  ( 6.02*10²³ )

mass N2 = 700250 / 6.02*10²³

mass N2 = 1.163*10⁻¹⁸ g


Hope that helps!

0.216g of aluminium compound X  react with an excess of water water to produce gas. this gas burn completely  in O2  to form H2O and 108cm^3of CO2 only . the volume of CO2 was measured at room temperature and pressure

0.108 / n  =  24 / 1 
n = 0.0045 mole ( CO2 >>0.0045 mole 
0.216 - 0.0045 = 0.2115
so Al =   0.2115 / 27  =>  0.0078 mole 
C = 0.0045 * 1000 => 4.5    and Al  = 0.0078 * 1000 = 7.8

120 grams of calcium nitrite Ca(NO2)2 is dissolved in a 240 mL solution. What is the molarity of the solution???
expeople1 [14]

Hey there!:

Molar mass Ca(NO2)2 = 132.089 g/mol

Mass of solute = 120 g

Number of moles:

n = mass of solute / molar mass

n = 120 / 132.089

n = 0.0009084 moles of Ca(NO2)2

Volume in liters of solution :

240 mL / 1000 => 0.24 L

Therefore:

Molarity = number of moles / volume of solution

Molarity = 0.0009084 / 0.24

Molarity = 0.003785 M

Hope that helps!
