Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two substances or objects are at different temperature and heat from object 1 flows to object 2 when both of them are placed touching each other then this process is known as conduction.

For example, when we touch a light bulb then heat from the bulb flows into the hand.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, feeling the heat from a light bulb with your hand when touching the bulb is best categorized as heat transfer by conduction.

Aluminum has a specific heat of 897 j/kg c. methanol has a specific heat of 2450 j/kg c.

Answer:

$\sf \: correct \: answer \: would \: be \: methanol!$

Explanation:

Specific Heat: The specific Heat of any material is the heat absorbed or evolved by the material to raise or fall it's temperature by 1°C per unit mass of the material.

The heat absorbed or evolved (Q) is directly proportional to the mass of substance(m) and rise or fall of temp(∆T)

The general formula for specific heat is,

$\sf \: \: \: \: \: s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}$

Where

s is specific heat,
Q is the Heat absorbed or evolved
m is mass of substance
& ∆T is change is temperature

Now coming to your question,

The specific heat of Aluminium is 897 J/kg °C

The specific heat of Aluminium is 897 J/kg °C& specific heat of methanol is 2450 J/kg ° C

The definition states that, if the specific heat would be more, more amount of heat will be required for per unit change in temperature.

The specific heat of Aluminium is 897 J/kg °C which means for one kilogram aluminium, 897 Joule energy is required to change it's temperature by 1°C & Similarly for one kilogram methanol 2450 joule energy is required.

Hence, the correct answer would be methanol!

Find the energy of a photon of light if the wavelength of the light wave is 6.88 x 10–7m

stepan [7]

Use the formula E=hv, h=plancks constant and v=frequency
use the formula c=v*lambda to find v
the answer will be 2.88*10^-23J

What can be used to measure the ph of a substance

castortr0y [4]

The pH value can be measured using electrochemical measuring systems, litmus paper, or indicators and colorimeters. The easiest way to take a pH measurement is to use litmus paper or a colorimeter. The advantage of this type of pH measurement is that the pH range is well known and they are easy to apply.
