Hi there!

We can use pythagorean theorem to solve this problem here. The easiest way to go about solving this problem is to use the theorem to find the hypotenuse, then dividing it by 5 to find the value of x, since the hypotenuse is 5x.

WORK:
27^2 + 36^2 = h^2     (plugging into theorem)
729 + 1296 = h^2     (squaring the numbers)
h^2 = 2025              (adding the numbers together)
hypotenuse = 49    (taking the square root of 2025)
49/5 = x                 (dividing 49 by 5 to find x)
x = 9.8                  (dividing)

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

54.56 g of water at 80.4 oC is added to a calorimeter that contains 47.24 g of water at 40 oC. If the final temperature of the s

Answer:

49.5J/°C

Explanation:

The hot water lost some energy that is gained for cold water and the calorimeter.

The equation is:

Q(Hot water) = Q(Cold water) + Q(Calorimeter)

<em>Where:</em>

Q(Hot water) = S*m*ΔT = 4.184J/g°C*54.56g*(80.4°C-59.4°C) = 4794J

Q(Cold water) = S*m*ΔT = 4.184J/g°C*47.24g*(59.4°C-40°C) = 3834J

That means the heat gained by the calorimeter is

Q(Calorimeter) = 4794J - 3834J = 960J

The calorimeter constant is the heat gained per °C. The change in temperature of the calorimeter is:

59.4°C-40°C = 19.4°C

And calorimeter constant is:

960J/19.4°C =

<h3>49.5J/°C</h3>
