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.

What is the mass of a sample of NH3 containing 6.3 × 1024 molecules of NH3?
quester [9]

Answer:

178 grams

Explanation:

<em>It is known that 1.0 mole of a compound contains Avogadro's number of molecules (6.022 x 10²³).</em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mol contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

??? mol contains → 6.3 x 10²⁴ molecules.

∴ The no. of moles of (6.3 x 10²⁴ molecules) of NH₃ = (1.0 mol)(6.3 x 10²⁴ molecules)/(6.022 x 10²³ molecules) = 10.46 mol.

<em>∴ The no. of grams of NH₃ present = no. of moles x molar mass</em> = (10.46 mol)(17.0 g/mol) = <em>177.8 g ≅ 178 g.</em>

Which of the following molecules can form hydrogen bonds?
frosja888 [35]

Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular forces of attraction in which hydrogen atom is bonded to one of the most electronegative atoms. This gives a partial positive charge to hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge to the electronegative atom involved in the bonding. The electronegative atoms that can form hydrogen bonding are fluorine (F), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O).

Therefore the correct option is,

A) NH3

Adhesion describes water's attraction to _____. other water molecules other substances hydrogen molecules acids and bases
Yuliya22 [10]
Adhesion describes water's attraction to other substances. 

The term Adhesion refers to the tendency of particles or surfaces which are not similar to cling to one another. So basically, the adhesion occurs in water when the water is attracted or cling to other substance not similar to water.
