- If 20.0 Cal make an ounce, how many ounces of formula should a baby drink per day if the energy needed per day is 1.50 x 10E3 Cal? Express answer to the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forwardGiven the mass of 1.500 Mg(Mega gram) and a volume of 2.205 x 10^6 cc (cubic centimeter), what is the unit weight?arrow_forwardIf you have a mixture of 10 lb. sunflower seeds which cost 32¢ per pound and 16 lb. of cracked corn which cost 18¢ per pound, how much would this mixture cost per pound? If 28% of the objects in a box weighed 45 gm each and other 72% weighed 55 gm each, what is the average weight of the objects?arrow_forward
- In which state of matter do the particles of a chemical have the highest kinetic energy?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_forward1-67 If 168 g of an unknown liquid requires 2750 cal of heat to raise its temperature from 26oC to 74oC, what is the specific heat of the liquid?arrow_forward
- 1-91 In calculating the specific heat of a substance, the following data are used: mass = 92.15 g; heat = 3.200 kcal; rise in temperature = 45oC. How many significant figures should you report in calculating the specific heat?arrow_forward1-86 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_forward1-68 The specific heat of steam is 0.48 cal/g oC. How many kilocalories are needed to raise the temperature of 10.5 kg of steam from 120oC to 150oC?arrow_forward
