Answer:
c = 0.38 J/g °C
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
Mass of metal X is 95.4 g
Initial temperature was 25°C and final temperature is 48°C.
The metal absorbs 849 J of heat
The heat absorbed due to change in temperature is given by :
So, the specific heat of metal X is 0.38 J/g °C.
You want to multiply two consecutive numbers, and see when you get a multiple of three.
Since two consecutive numbers share no divisors (except 1), either n or n+1 must be a multiple of 3.
So, your experiments succeeds if n is itself a muliple of three, or if lies immediately before one. So, 2 numbers out of 3 are ok.
Let me try to visualize the situation: I'll list some integers. Below, I'll write if they are multiple of three (M) or not (N). Above, I will write if they will cause the experiment to succeed (S), i.e. n(n+1) will be dibisible by 3, or to fail (F), i.e. n(n+1) will not be a multiple of three. We have
So, since there are exactly 99 numbers between 1 and 99, and 2/3 of the numbers work, the probability that you will choose a number n such that n(n+1) is divisible by 3 is 2/3.
