<span>Specific heat is the amount of heat energy a unit mass of a material must absorb to increase its temperature by 1°C. Each material has its own specific heat.
    Specific heat is a physical property of matter. It is related to the excitation of the atoms and how well they hold heat. Aluminum atoms bind to each other tighter compared to gold atoms and resists an increase in atomic motion. also the
  specific heat of Aluminum: 0.902 Joules/gram degree Celsius 
specific heat of Gold: .129 Joules/gram degree Celsius.</span>

Gold heats up about seven times faster than aluminium because gold has less (<span>different) numbers of particles per unit mass. Gold has greater atomic mass (197 g/mol) and greater atomic radius (size) of an atom than aluminium (27 g/mol) metal. Amount of substance is equal to mass of substance divided with molar mass of substance.</span>

You have a pot of pasta boiling in water on the stove. Which method will you use to separate the mixture of pasta and water?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Filtration method

Explanation:

Filtration is a separation method used to separate out pure substances in mixtures comprised of particles some of which are large enough in size to be captured with a porous material. Particle size can vary considerably, given the type of mixture. For instance, a mixture of boiled pasta and water.

If you performed this experiment using mgcl2 as the solute would the molar concentration of mgcl2 that is isotonic to the potato
Mama L [17]
The answer to this question would be: lower molar concentration

Osmotic pressure is influenced by the number of ions and the concentration of the molecule in the solution. In NaCl, the molecule will split into 1 Na+ ion and 1 Cl- ion which results in 2 ions per compound. In MgCl2, the compound will split into 1 Mg2+ ion and 2 Cl- ion which results in 3 ions. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of MgCl2 will be 3/2 times of NaCl.
MgCl2 will need less concentration to achieve same osmotic pressure as NaCl. If the MgCl2 solution is isotonic with NaCl, the concentration of MgCl2 would be lower than NaCl
