The initial temperature of the water was 56.7 °C.

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>temperature chang</em>e.

The formula for the heat (<em>q</em>) absorbed is

<em>q = mC</em>Δ<em>T </em>

We can solve this equation to get

Δ<em>T = q</em>/(<em>mC</em>)

<em>q</em> = 5.49 × 10⁵ J; <em>m</em> = 3030 g; <em>C</em> = 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

∴ Δ<em>T</em> = 5.49 × 10⁵ J/(3030 g × 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹) = 43.30 °C

<em>Step </em>2. Calculate the <em>initial temperature </em>

Δ<em>T</em> = <em>T</em>_f – <em>T</em>_i = 100°C – <em>T</em>_i = 43.30 °C

<em>T</em>_i = 100 °C – 43.30 °C = 56.7 °C

What are the principles related to absolute, relative, carbon, or radioactive dating
stepladder [879]

The atoms of some chemical elements have different forms, called isotopes. These break down over time in a process scientists call radioactive decay. Each original isotope, called the parent, gradually decays to form a new isotope, called the daughter. Each isotope is identified with what is called a ‘mass number’. When ‘parent’ uranium-238 decays, for example, it produces subatomic particles, energy and ‘daughter’ lead-206.

Question 13: Consider the strength of the Hβ absorption line in the spectra of stars of various surface temperatures. This is th
finlep [7]

Answer:

The absorption and strength of the H-beta lines change with the temperature of the stellar surface, and because of this, one can find the temperature of the star from their absorption lines and strength. To better comprehend, let us look into the concept of the atom's atomic structure.  

Atoms possess distinct energy levels and these levels of energy are constant, that is, the temperature has no influence on it. However, temperature possesses an influence on the electron numbers found within these levels of energy. Therefore, to generate an absorption line of hydrogen in the electromagnetic spectrum's visible band, the electrons are required to be present in the second energy level, that is when it captivates a photon.  

Therefore, after captivating the photons the electrons jump from level 2 to level 4, which shows that there is an increase in the stellar surface temperature and at the same time one can witness a decline in the strength of the H-beta lines. In case, if the temperature of the surface increases too much, then one will witness no attachment of electron with the hydrogen atom and thus no H lines, and if the temperature of the surface becomes too low, then the electrons will stay in the ground state and no formation of H lines will take place in that condition too.  

Hence, to generate a very robust H line, after captivating photons the majority of the electrons are required to stay in the second energy level.
