AI Thread Summary
To calculate the molar specific heat (Cp) using the equation Q=m*Cp*(change in temperature), first determine the heat capacity per mass. Then, convert this value to heat capacity per mole by multiplying it by the molar mass of the substance. Alternatively, you can calculate the number of moles from the given mass and use that to solve for Cp directly. Both methods will yield the molar specific heat needed for the problem. Understanding these conversions is crucial for accurate calculations in thermodynamics.

Homework Statement



From Q=m*Cp*(change in temperature), they give me all but Cp, which I calculate, and they also give me a mass per mole of the substance. Now the next part of the problem asks for the molar specific heat of the substance, but the equation for this eludes me.

The Attempt at a Solution

So you've calculated the heat capacity per mass? Convert your heat capacity per mass into heat capacity per mol. Look at the units to see. You will just multiply your answer by the molar mass.

Or, do the calculation again, this time convert the mass given into moles

#moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass in grams per mole)

and solve for Cp.

Either way.
 
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
