Answer:

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

Temperature = 5.00 °C

Mass of water = 20.2 grams

Temperature of water = 90.00 °C

The final temperature = 75.00 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: calculate the specific heat of aluminium

heat won = heat lost

Qaluminium = -Qwater

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(aluminium * c(aluminium) *ΔT(aluminium = -m(water) * c(water) *ΔT(water)

⇒with m(aluminium) = mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

⇒with c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with ΔT(aluminium) = the change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 75.00 °C - 5.00 °C = 70.00 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 20.2 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 75.00°C - 90.00 °C = -15.00 °C

20.0 * c(aluminium) * 70.00 = -20.2 * 4.184 * -15.00

c(aluminium) = 0.906 J/g°C

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C

You are given a bottle of solid X and three aqueous solutions of X—one saturated, one unsaturated, and one supersaturated. How w
quester [9]

In a saturated solution, extra solid X would remain solid, dissolve in an unsaturated solution, and crystallize in a supersaturated one.

A solution is said to be saturated when there is a maximum amount of solute present that has been dissolved in the solvent. As a result, the system is in an equilibrium between the dissolved and undissolved solutes: A solution is considered to be unsaturated if the solute concentration is less than the equilibrium solubility. A supersaturated solution is one that has more solute than is necessary to generate a saturated solution at a given temperature.

You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. You are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. You are informed
Rashid [163]

Answer:

C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

Explanation:

Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.

This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.

Given that the density of gold and sand are 19. 3 g/cm^3 and 2. 95 g/cm^3, respectively, and that the density of the mixture is
SOVA2 [1]

The percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be 34.5%.

How to calculate the percentage?

The following information can be deduced based on the information given:

Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³.

Density of sand = 2.94 g/cm³

Density of mixture = 4.17 g/cm³

It should be noted that when we find the volume fo gold on a 1cm³ sample, then we can be able to find that mass. The volume of gold will be calculated thus:

4.17 = [(19.3x + 2.95(1 - x)]

4.17 = 19.3x + 2.95 - 2.95x

4.17 = 16.35x + 2.95

x = 0.0746cm³

The mass of gold will be:

= 0.0746 × 19.3

= 1.44

The percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be:

= 1.44/4.17 × 100

= 34.5%

In conclusion, the percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be 34.5%.

What is Mass?

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.

The kilogram is the primary mass unit in the SI (kg). Even though weight is frequently measured using a spring scale rather than a balancing scale and directly compared with known masses, mass is not the same as weight in physics. Due to the lower gravity on the Moon, an object would weigh less than it does on Earth while maintaining the same mass. Given that weight is a force.
