No math is needed to explain this. All that you need to know is that the can (4°C) is in your hand (37°C).
Entropy will always move toward being balanced. Never will you find a lake in which half of it is 1°C and the other half is 70°C; it will be equal throughout.
Remember that "cold" doesn't exist. What we describe to be cold is actually a lack of heat.
So, by applying the two ideas above, it can be concluded that:
Since your hand is warmer than the can, the heat from your hand will be transferred to the can in order to reach an equal temperature.
Specific heat is the amount of heat absorb or released by a substance to change the temperature to one degree Celsius. To determine the specific heat, we use the expression for the heat absorbed by the system. Heat gained or absorbed in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:
Heat = mC(T2-T1)
By substituting the given values, we can calculate for C which is the specific heat of the material.
2510 J = .158 kg ( 1000 g / 1 kg) (C) ( 61.0 - 32.0 °C)
C = 0.5478 J / g °C
An ionic compound is a chemical compound dissociated into positive and negative ions, but globally neutral (it is a bond that usually involves a metal).
A covalent bond is a bond in which two valence electrons are shared between two non-metals (which is often the case in organic substances). In this type of bond, there must be an electronegativity difference of less than 1.7 on the Pauling scale.
Returning to the question, the first question to investigate is if the substance is simple or compound (all of them are compound).
The next question for the substances is if there's a metallic atom or a carbon atom in the substance.
The next investigation is a confirmation, by calculating the electronegativity difference between the atoms in the substances according to Pauli's scale. If it's under 1.7, it's a covalent bond, so a covalent compound. if not it's an ionic bond, so an ionic compound.
Answer:
Flammability is a material’s ability to burn in the presence of <u><em>oxygen.</em></u>
Explanation:
Flammability can be described as the ability of a substance to get ignited. Flammability will lead to fire or combustion. Some substances are highly flammable like Benzene. Other tend to be just flammable. And there are also compounds which will nor be flammable at all as they won't react with oxygen. Examples of these substances include helium, steel or glass.
The flammability of a substance shall be considered a very important aspect when storing or transporting a substance.
