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.

Under standard conditions, a given reaction is endergonic (i.e., ΔG &gt;0). Which of the following can render this reaction favo
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Maintaining a high starting-material concentration can render this reaction favorable.

Explanation:

A reaction is <em>favorable</em> when <em>ΔG < 0</em> (<em>exergonic</em>). ΔG depends on the temperature and on the reaction of reactants and products as established in the following expression:

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ

where,

ΔG° is the standard Gibbs free energy

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

Q is the reaction quotient

To make ΔG < 0 when ΔG° > 0 we need to make the term R.T.lnQ < 0. Since T is always positive we need lnQ to be negative, what happens when Q < 1. Q < 1 implies the concentration of reactants being greater than the concentration of products, that is, maintaining a high starting-material concentration will make Q < 1.

32.7 grams of water vapor takes up how many liters at standard temperature and pressure (273 K and 100 kPa)?
kotegsom [21]
Under standard temperature and pressure conditions, it is known that 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 liters.

From the periodic table:
molar mass of oxygen = 16 gm
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 gm
Thus, the molar mass of water vapor = 2(1) + 16 = 18 gm

18 gm of water occupies 22.4 liters, therefore:
volume occupied by 32.7 gm = (32.7 x 22.4) / 18 = 40.6933 liters

Zircon is a mineral with the empirical formula ZrSiO4. If all the zirconium is 90Zr, all the silicon is 28Si, and all the oxygen
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

3.52g

Explanation:

Zr = 90 g/mol

Si = 28 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

ZrSiO4 = 90 + 28 + (16* 4) = 182g/mol

Mass =  Numberof moles * Molar mass

Mass = 1mol *  182g/mol = 182g

In one mole of ZrSiO4, there are 4 oxygen atoms, hence the mass is given as;

4 * 16 = 64g

Hence, 64g of oxygen is present in 182g of ZrSiO4.

10g would contain x

64 = 182

x = 10

x = ( 10 * 64 ) / 182

x = 640 / 182 = 3.52g

Consider the picture of a gas pump. Which type of gasoline has the highest percentage of octane (the main component of gasoline)
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

premium: 91 octane rating

Explanation:

Octane number refers to the percentage or volume fraction of isooctane in a fuel.

The octane number gives a picture of how safe a fuel is for an engine. The higher the octane rating the lesser the tendency of the fuel to cause knocking of the engine.

The type of gasoline with the highest percentage of octane among the options is premium.

A solid metal oxide crystallizes in a cubic unit cell. In the unit cell there are metal (M) ions on every corner and in the cent
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the solid metal oxide is : MO

Explanation:

M atom is present in the every corner and in the center of every face.

Number of m atoms :

\frac{1}{8}\times 8+\frac{1}{2}\times 6=4

Number of tetrahedral voids in F.C.C = 2n = 2 × 4 = 8

Oxide ion is present in the half of the tetrahedral void

Number oxide ions = \frac{8}{2}=4

The molecular formula of the solid metal oxide is : M_4O_4=MO

The empirical formula represent the lowest number of atoms present in a compound.

The empirical formula of the solid metal oxide is : MO
