Answer:

0.14 J/g°C.

Explanation:

  • To calculate the specific heat capacity of Hg, we use the relation:

<em>The amount of heat absorbed by Hg = Q = m.c.ΔT.</em>

where, m is the mass of Hg (m = 50.0 g).

c is the specific heat capacity of Hg = ??? J/g°C.

ΔT is the temperature difference = (final T - initial T = 110.0°C).

∴ The amount of heat absorbed by Hg = Q = m.c.ΔT = 770.0 J.

∴ 770.0 J = (50.0 g)(c)(110.0°C).

<em>∴ c = Q/m.ΔT =</em> (770.0 J)/((50.0 g)(110.0°C) = <em>0.14 J/g°C.</em>

Which term names the concentration of salts dissolved in a liquid?
Viefleur [7K]
Hey there!
The answer is D, Salinity.
Salinity is the concentration of salt in water. Ocean water often has high salinity and this can contribute to things like upwelling and water density- but these all start from salinity.

What happens when gases change to plasma?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off.

explanation-Plasma can be made from a gas if a lot of energy is pushed into the gas. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off. When it is time to become a gas again, just flip the neon light switch off. Without the electricity to energize the atoms, the neon plasma returns to its gaseous state.

suppose you're outside on a hot date and you moving to the shade of a tree which form of energy transfer are you avoiding?​
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

A sun transfers energy by radiation. However, there are three different modes of heat energy transfer -

a)  Radiation

b) Conduction

c) Convection

Since sun is a at a very far distance from earth, it cannot transfer its heat energy by conduction as for this mode of heat transfer two bodies need to be in touch with each other.

For convection mode of heat transfer a medium is required but for transfer of sun's energy (which is electromagnetic radiation) no medium is required.

Hence, Sun will transfer energy by radiation only.
