Answer: Hotspings are formed due to the heat produced by the interior of the earth. The rocks at certain depths are hot enough that the water when percolates down, mixes up and get heated geothermally.

A geothermal gradient refers to the rate at which the temperature increases with the increase in depth. This geothermal gradient differs slightly from place to place and ranges from about 25-30°C/km.

This is how the mammoth hotsprings were formed.

Which is an example of an exothermic process?
Gwar [14]

1) Answer: A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine.

Explanation: Reactions or process in which heat is released(produced) are known as exothermic reactions or process and those in which the heat is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions or process.

If a beaker feels cools when chemical in it react then it means the chemicals have absorbed the heat energy from its surroundings and so it is an example of an endothermic process.

A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine means the energy is released in the chemical reaction and so it is an example of an exothermic process.

Plants use the sun's energy for photosynthesis which is a process of forming food for the plants. Energy acts as a reactant in this process and so it is an example of endothermic process.

Frying an egg by heating it on a stove is an example of an endothermic process as the heat is required to fry the egg.

So, the only exothermic process is the second one, "A hot pack feels warm when chemicals in it combine."

2) In the given equation, heat is written as a product means the heat is released in the equation and so it is an example of an exothermic reaction.

So, the correct choice is the last one " It is exothermic because energy is released."

3. A 31.2-g piece of silver (s = 0.237 J/(g · °C)), initially at 277.2°C, is added to 185.8 g of a liquid, initially at 24.4°C,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Cp_{liquid}=2.54\frac{J}{g\°C}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since silver is initially hot as it cools down, the heat it loses is gained by the liquid, which can be thermodynamically represented by:

Q_{Ag}=-Q_{liquid}

That in terms of the heat capacities, masses and temperature changes turns out:

m_{Ag}Cp_{Ag}(T_2-T_{Ag})=-m_{liquid}Cp_{liquid}(T_2-T_{liquid})

Since no phase change is happening. Thus, solving for the heat capacity of the liquid we obtain:

Cp_{liquid}=\frac{m_{Ag}Cp_{Ag}(T_2-T_{Ag})}{-m_{liquid}(T_2-T_{liquid})} \\\\Cp_{liquid}=\frac{31.2g*0.237\frac{J}{g\°C}*(28.3-227.2)\°C}{185.8g*(28.3-24.4)\°C}\\ \\Cp_{liquid}=2.54\frac{J}{g\°C}

Best regards.

Two different atoms have four protons each and the same mass. However, one has a positive charge while the other is neutral. Des
seraphim [82]

The possible number and location of all subatomic are one of them is electrically neutral, while the other has a stable electronic configuration.

<h3>What are subatomic particles?</h3>

Subatomic particles are those particles that are present inside the atoms. They are electron, neutron, and proton. They are charged particles, protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral.

The protons and electrons totally contribute to the atomic mass of the elements.

Thus, the subatomic particles are electrically neutral and stable to electronic configurations.
