- 1-86 The specific heats of some elements at 25oC are as follows: aluminum = 0.215 cal/g · oC; carbon (graphite) = 0.170 caI/g oC; iron = 0.107 cal/g mercury = 0.033 1 caI/g oC. (a) Which element would require the smallest amount of heat to raise the temperature of 100 g of the element by 10oC? (b) If the same amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of aluminum by 25oC were applied to 1 g of mercury, by how many degrees would its temperature be raised? (c) If a certain amount of heat is used to raise the temperature of 1.6 g of iron by 10oC, the temperature of 1 g of which element would also be raised by 10oC, using the same amount of heat?arrow_forwardIn which state of matter do the particles of a chemical have the highest kinetic energy?arrow_forwardYou are to give ampicillin, with a recommended dose of 45 mg/kg, to a child with a mass of 24 kg. If stock on hand is 250 mg/capsule, how many capsules should be given? Express the number of capsules as an integer.arrow_forward
- If an electric car is capable of going 225 km on a singlecharge, how many charges will it need to travel from Seattle,Washington, to San Diego, California, a distance of 1257 mi,assuming that the trip begins with a full charge?arrow_forwardThe following data refer to the element phosphorus. Classify each as a physical or a chemical property. (a) It exists in several forms, for example, white, black, and red phosphorus. (b) It is a solid at 25C and 1 atm. (c) It is insoluble in water. (d) It burns in chlorine to form phosphorus trichloride.arrow_forwardAt 25 C, the density of water is 0.997 g/cm3, whereas the density of ice at 10 C is 0.917 g/cm3. (a) If a soft-drink can (volume = 250. mL) is filled completely with pure water at 25 C and then frozen at - 10 C, what volume does the ice occupy? (b) Can the ice be contained within the can?arrow_forward
