TheTourist said:I used the above equation to get a mass of the solid to be 0.0128kg but I have no idea of what to do next!
To find the molecular weight from specific heat at constant volume, you can use the equation: MW = (R*T)/Cv, where MW is the molecular weight, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Cv is the specific heat at constant volume.
Finding the molecular weight from specific heat at constant volume is important in determining the identity of a substance, as different molecules have different molecular weights. It can also be used to calculate other thermodynamic properties of a substance.
Yes, specific heat at constant volume can be measured experimentally using calorimetry. This involves measuring the heat transfer between a substance and its surroundings at constant volume and using the equation Q = m*Cv*ΔT, where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass of the substance, Cv is the specific heat at constant volume, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
The specific heat at constant volume (Cv) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree at constant volume, while the specific heat at constant pressure (Cp) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree at constant pressure. Cp is usually larger than Cv due to the work done by the substance against its surroundings at constant pressure.
Yes, the molecular weight can also be calculated using specific heat at constant pressure using the equation: MW = (R*T)/(Cp-Cv), where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Cp and Cv are the specific heats at constant pressure and volume, respectively.
