How To calculate Specific Heat of A compound Such as NaOH?

Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.


Does the mass of each element in a compound depend on the amount of compound?

Yes, because the mass of each element in a compound depends on the mass of the compound.


Is calorie an element or a compound?

Calories describe how much energy there is in something. Humans rarely eat pure elements, but it'd be possible to calculate the amount of calories in just about anything,


What is the percent compistion of a compound?

The percent composition of a compound tells the amount of each element in the compound as a percentage. It is possible to find if the mass of an element and the total mass of the compound is known.


What makes any element that specific element?

The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element that specific element. Actually, it is only the protons. The number of neutrons and/or electrons can vary, and it is still the same element. The one thing that makes an element that specific element is only the number of protons.


What can be easily separated a mixture or compound or element?

a compound - it is chemically bonded elements, with a comparatively weak inter-molecular bonds, whereas it takes an inordinate amount of energy to split the atom (element)


What three types of information are needed on order to find an empirical formula from percentage composition data?

· Assume that you have 100.0 g sample of the compound · Calculate the amount of each element in the sample · Convert the mass composition of each element to a composition in moles by dividing by the appropriate molar mass


Atoms are the smallest particles of a compound that still retain the properties of that compound?

The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.


How do you make sodium silicate solution?

Sodium silicate is soluble in water so just add specific amount of this compound in specific amount of water, (as per requirement).


How is pure element different from an element in compound?

A pure element (on an atomic scale) is a series of the same atoms (same amount of electrons). Elements in compounds are fused to each other meaning that their amount of electrons may have changed and they may have a different charge.
