10. what is the specific heat of an unknown substance if a 2.50 g sample releases 12 calories as its
temperature changes from 25°c to 20°c?

c = 4016.64 j/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of substance = 2.50 g

Calories release = 12 cal (12 ×4184 = 50208 j)

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 20°C

Specific heat of substance = ?

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Solution:

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT  = T2 - T1

ΔT  = 20°C - 25°C

ΔT  = -5°C

50208 j = 2.50 g . c. -5°C

50208 j = -12.5 g.°C .c

50208 j /-12.5 g.°C =  c

c = 4016.64 j/g.°C

b. acid is the correct answer @jayxboof all social media

acid : acids are those which accepts an electron-pairs.

base : bases are those which donates ab electron-pairs.

alkali : it is a base that dissolves in water. it is basically a base and the ph greater than 7.

hydroxide ion : it is a poly-atomic ion which is negatively charged.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
