The mass of the piece of wood is 35.58 g.

Joule = M × T × C

Where, M = mass

T = change in temperature(42C-23C=19 C)

C = specific heat capacity = 1.716 joules/gram

Substituting the values in the equation,

1160 = M × 19 × 1.716

M = 1160/32.604 = 35.58 g

Therefore, the mass of the piece of wood = 35.58 g

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

A material's specific heat capacity, which is defined as its heat capacity divided by its mass, determines how much energy is required to increase a gram's temperature by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Volume is often measured numerically using the International System of Units (SI unit), the cubic meter. for example volume of a cube is measured using a cubic centimeter (cm3), the metric system includes the liter (L) as a unit of volume, where one liter is the volume of a 10-centimeter cube.

What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 8 grams of BaCl2 in enough
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

molar mass of BaCl2 = 208.23

mol of BaCl2 = 8/208.22

mol of BaCl2 = 0.03841905

Molarity = 0.03841905/0.450

Molarity = 0.085 M

Why are only certain colors absorbed by and emitted from an atom?
zavuch27 [327]
The way I would explain it is quite difficult to understand, so this is what Google says. "The wavelength (or equivalently, frequency) of the photon is determined by the difference in energy between the two states. These emitted photons form the element's spectrum. The fact that only certain colors appear in an element's atomic emission spectrum means that only certain frequencies of light are emitted." I hope this helped.
