Different social groups may differ in some moral beliefs while also sharing many others. The widely shared beliefs are probably rooted in human nature while the differences probably reflect distinctive characteristics of the groups.

Kant bases his moral theory on a person’s duty towards other humans.

A balloon expands from 0.0100 L to 0.450 L against an external pressure of 10.00 atm. How much work is done in joules?  101.3 J = 1 L · atm

What is the enthalpy change (in kJ) of a chemical reaction that raises the temperature of 250.0 mL of solution having a density of 1.25 g/mL by 7.20°C? (The specific heat of the solution is 3.74 J/g-K.)

A [w] gram sample of an unknown material, at 100.0 Celsius is placed in a coffee cup calorimeter with [x] grams of water at an initial temperature of [y] Celsius. The final temperature at thermal equilibrium is [z] Celsius.  Calculate the specific heat of the sample in Joules per gram degree Celsius.  Input only numbers do not input units. 

The specific heat capacity of liquid mercury is 0.14 J/g-K. How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 5.00 g of mercury from 22.0°C to 57.0°C?
