    This is 17% lower than the earlier wider used one based on non measured values of 3.47 kJ · kg−1· °C−1. The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%.

  3. Molar heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_heat_capacity

    For example, the molar heat capacity of nitrogen N 2 at constant volume is 20.6 J⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1 (at 15 °C, 1 atm), which is 2.49 R. [11] From the theoretical equation c V,m = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ fR, one concludes that each molecule has f = 5 degrees of freedom. These turn out to be three degrees of the molecule's velocity vector, plus two ...

  4. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    2 (736 J⋅K −1 ⋅kg −1) is greater than that of an hypothetical monatomic gas with the same molecular mass 28 (445 J⋅K −1 ⋅kg −1), by a factor of ⁠ 5 / 3 ⁠. The vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom do not contribute significantly to the heat capacity in this case, due to the relatively large energy level gaps for both ...

  5. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

    MgO + C + Cl 2 → MgCl 2 + CO. Electrolysis of the resulting molten magnesium chloride is conducted at 700 °C (1,292 °F): [6] MgCl 2 → Mg + Cl 2. Aluminium metal is produced from aluminium oxides by electrolysis of a molten mixture of sodium hexafluoroaluminate and alumina at 950 °C (1,740 °F).

    Similarly, to get an improved salt surface area, use smaller salt. “If you have two 1-pound bags of salt, but one bag has big crystals and the other has small crystals, the smaller crystals will ...

  8. Thermal diffusivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_diffusivity

    It is a measure of the rate of heat transfer inside a material and has SI units of m 2 /s. It is an intensive property . Thermal diffusivity is usually denoted by lowercase alpha ( α ), but a , h , κ ( kappa ), [ 2 ] K , [ 3 ] , D , D T {\displaystyle D_{T}} are also used.

  9. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

    A few mixed halides and hydrohalides are known, but are mostly unstable; examples include NClF 2, NCl 2 F, NBrF 2, NF 2 H, NFH 2, NCl 2 H, and NClH 2. [ 61 ] Nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3 , first prepared in 1928) is a colourless and odourless gas that is thermodynamically stable, and most readily produced by the electrolysis of molten ammonium ...
