Soil has a specific heat capacity of 1.700J/g C. During the day, the temperature of soil in a flowerpot increased from 15.6°C to 35.5°C. If the energy from the sun was calculated to be 251 175J,
what was the mass of the soil? Show your work.

m = 7.42 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

The specific heat of the soil, c = 1.700J/g C

The temperature of soil in a  flowerpot increased from 15.6°C to 35.5°C.

The energy released from the Sun is 251175 J. We need to find the mass of the soil.

We know that,

or

m = 7.42 kg

So, the mass of the soil is equal to 7.42 kg.

"standard molar enthalpy:

h2o ( liquid water ) : - 285.8 kj/mole

h2o ( water vapor ) : - 241.8 kj / mole.

δhrxn = - 241. 8 - ( - 285.8 )= -241.8 + 285.8 = 44.0

answer: 44.0 kj"

the answer is minerals.
