A piece of an unknown substance weighing 124.0 grams is heated in boiling water to 100.0oc. when the substance is placed in a ca

lorimeter containing 300.0 grams of water, the temperature of the water increased from 20.0oc to 26.0oc. what is the specific heat of the unknown substance, assuming all the heat is transferred to the water?

The heat cause 300g water temperature increase from 20 to 26 celcius. The heat transferred would be: 300g * (26 °C -20 °C) *4.2 joule/gram °C= 7560J

The unknown substance is added to the water, so its final temperature should be the same as the water. The calculation would be:

7560J= 124g * (100-26)* specific heat

specific heat= 7560J / 124g / 74 °C= 0.8238 J/gram °C

Consider the following data for five hypothetical elements: Q, W, X, Y, and Z. Rank the elements from most reactive to least rea
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Y, Q, W, Z and X

Y > Q > W > Z > X

Explanation:

To know the most reactive element, the element will be able to displace other metal in it compound. We also have to observe if the reaction occur. If the reaction didn't occur, that means the element is not reactive than the metal found in the other reactant. Invariably their will be no displacement.

Q + w+ Reaction occurs

Q element displace the metal w in it compound . This means Q is more reactive.

x +z+ No reaction

No reaction here. This means x is less reactive than z as it couldn't displace z in it compound.

w + z+ Reaction occurs

w is more reactive than z as it displaces z in it compound.

Q+ + Y Reaction occurs

Y is more reactive than Q as it displaces Q in it compounds.

Therefore, the most reactive to the least reactive is arrange as follows.

Y, Q, W, Z and X

Question 1 (1 point)
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

Thermal energy (heat) can be transferred between objects as long as there is a temperature difference between them. However, there needs to be some kind of medium transferring it. There are basically three ways in which the energy is transferred:

1. Conduction - transfer via the direct contact  

2. Convection - transfer via the circular movement of fluids or air caused by hotter layers moving upward and colder downwards.

3. Radiation - transfer via the waves from the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation ( ultra-violet, infra-red...)

Frequency is not a type of energy transfer, but a number of times something is occurring in one second. When we say that the frequency is 200Hz it means that something is happening at a rate of 200 times in a second. It's most often used in describing oscillations.

Several tomato plants are grown indoors next to a sunny window. The plants receive water and fertilizer and remain on the window
mrs_skeptik [129]

You can see my previous answer to this very same question on brainly.com/question/11374210.


The answer is:  option D. Response to environment.


Explanation:


As explained, plants (organisms in general) respond to the stimulus provided by the environment.


Such behavior is named tropism. Tropism may be positive or negative.


When the plant's stem bends toward the window, it is showing positive phototropism, which means that the plant growth response to light such that the stems bend toward light, permiting the leaves to receive more light.


I also mention that while the plant's stems posses positive phototropism they posses negative gravitropism and the roots posses positive gravitropism.


Gravitropism is the response of the plant growth to gravity.


Stems grow away from gravity meaning that this is negative gravitropism, but roots grow toward gravity which is positive gravitropism

Calculate the pOH of a solution that contains 3.9 x 10-5 M H3O+ at 25°C.
exis [7]

Answer:

Option b. 9.59

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the pH. This is illustrated below:

[H3O+] = 3.9 x 10-5 M

pH = —Log [H3O+]

pH = —Log [3.9 x 10-5]

pH = 4.41

Recall: pH + pOH = 14

4.41 + pOH = 14

Collect like terms

pOH = 14 — 4.41

pOH = 9.59
