A 76.0-gram piece of metal at 96.0 °C is placed in 120.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 24.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca

lorimeter is 31.0 °C. Determine the specific heat of the metal. Show your work by listing various steps, and explain how the law of conservation of energy applies to this situation.

The specific heat capacity of the metal given the data from the question is 0.66 J/gºC

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Mass of metal (M) = 76 g
  • Temperature of metal (T) = 96 °C
  • Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 120 g
  • Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 24.5 °C
  • Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 31 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
  • Specific heat capacity of metal (C) =?

<h3>How to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

The specific heat capacity of the sample of the metal can be obtained as follow:

Heat loss = Heat gain

MC(M –Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)

76 × C × (96 – 31) = 120 × 4.184 × (31 – 24.5)

C × 4940 = 3263.52

Divide both side by 4940

C = 3263.52 / 4940

C = 0.66 J/gºC

A balloon filled with 1.22 L of gas at 286 K is heated until the
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: 670K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 1.22 L

Original temperature T1 = 286 K

New volume V2 = 2.86 L

New temperature T2 = ?

Since volume and temperature are involved while pressure is constant, apply the formula for Charles law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

1.22 L/286 K = 2.86 L/ T2

Cross multiply

1.22 L x T2 = 286 K x 2.86 L

1.22T2 = 817.96

Divide both sides by 1.22

1.22T2/1.22 = 817.96/1.22

T2 = 670.459 K (Round to the nearest whole number as 670 K)

Thus, the temperature of the gas is 670 Kelvin

WHAT ARE SOME POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES IF A HUMAN BODY DOES NOT MAINTAIN<br> HOMEOSTASIS
BARSIC [14]

Answer: If homeostasis is disrupted, it must be controlled or a disease/disorder may result.

Explanation: What happens if there's disruption? Your body systems work together to maintain balance. If that balance is shifted or disrupted and homeostasis is not maintained, the results may not allow normal functioning of the organism.
