Given:
The heat content of the pizza is  Q = 500 kcal 
The volume of the cold water is V = 50 L
The mass of a liter of cold water is 1 kg.

Calculate the mass, M,  of cold water.
M = (50 L)*(1 kg/L) = 50 kg 

The specific heat of water is
c = 4.184 kJ/(kg-K)

Also,
1 kcal = 4184 J, therefore
Q = (500 kcal)*(4184 J/kcal) = 2.092 x 10⁶ J

Let ΔT = increase in temperature of the cold water, °C (same as K).
Then
Q = M*c*ΔT
or 
ΔT = Q/(M*c)
\Delta T =  \frac{(2.092 \times 10^{6} J)}{(50 \, kg)(4.184 \times 10^{3} \,  \frac{J}{kg-K)}) } =10 \,K=10 \,^{o}C

Answer: The temperature increases by 10 °C (or 10 K)

Answer:

A = 1

B = 4

C = 5

D = 3

E = 2

F = 6

Explanation:

A) Peptide hormones are not lipid soluble hence known as lipophobic and cannot diffuse through cell membranes examples of peptide hormones include luteinizing hormones, thyroid stimulating hormones, insulin and follicle-stimulating hormones.

B) Steroid hormones can not stored in secretory vesicles because of their lipophilic nature.

C) Amino acid-derived hormone are the hormones which are derived from tyrosine and tryptophan.

D) Anterior pituitary lobe of Pituitary gland is true endocrine gland of epithelial origin.

E) Hypothalamus produce screates six hormones in which vasopressin is also synthesized.

F) Posterior pituitary is responsible for storage and release site for oxytocin

Science uses data to describe the findings of an experiment. Qualitative Data is:
kirill [66]

Scientific data refers to the information collected by using the scientific method. These data can be obtained from experimental and/or observational procedures.

  • There are two types of data: qualitative data and quantitative data.

  • Qualitative Data is a set of data describing the findings of an experiment (Option B).

  • On the other hand, quantitative data refers to the set of measurements/numbers collected in an experimental or observational procedure.

the graph predicts the effect that each factor would have on the biodiversity of the mediterranean sea in the next 10 years. how
bixtya [17]

Answer: Exploitation, invasive species

If the government introduces laws prohibiting hunting, it would somewhat reduce the impact of exploitation would have on the biodiversity because hunting is mainly done for the purpose of fun or to derive valuables from animals like skin, horn, ivory, venome for selling them in the international market and making huge profit from them. Introduction of prohibition law on hunting will reduce killing and exploitation of animals for their valuables.

If laws prohibiting introduction of new plant or animal species within the country are passed, it will curb the effect of invasive species would have on the seas. Invasive species are those living species which are arrive or immegrate to new locations in search of resources. These species compete with native species which results in decline of native species. This will result in disturbance in actual sea biodiversity as this will result in decline in native sea species and may also lead to extinction of native species.
