When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

<h3>What is specific heat capacity?</h3>

Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of a substance by 1 kelvin.

<h3>Specific heat capacity of water and sand</h3>

Water, c = 4,200 J/kg⁰C

Sand, c = 830 J/kg⁰C

Q = mcΔθ

where;

  • Δθ is temperature change
  • Q is quantity of heat added

Δθ = Q/mc

Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The smallest constituent of an element is termed as an atom. According to Jaiden, an atom comprises two subatomic particles and three prime parts, however, this is incorrect as an atom comprises three subatomic particles and two main parts. The three subatomic particles are the protons, electrons, and neutrons. All these parts are smaller in comparison to an atom, thus, they are considered as subatomic particles.  

To be considered as an atom, an atom is needed only electrons and neutrons, like hydrogen exhibit one electron and one proton. On the other hand, the overall charge of the atom is not affected by the presence of neutrons, it is the subatomic particle that only enhances the mass of the atom.
