Answer:
The amount of thermal energy stored in an object depends on three things.
- The mass of the object.
- The temperature of the object.
- The amount of energy that the particular material stores per degree of temperature.
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.
Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.
Answer:
The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed only transfered. So when a size change takes place the mass is being transfered into something else. During a state change the mass is being transfered into another state of matter. When a substance dissolves into another liquid the mass is still their just into another state.
