Answer: 15062.4 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = ?

Mass of food = 200.0g

C = 4.184 j/g°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 83.0°C - 65.0°C = 18°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 200.0g x 4.184 j/g°C x 18°C

Q = 15062.4 J

Thus, 15062.4 joules of heat energy was contained in the food.

Why do rivers have deltas?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

A delta is formed when the river deposits its material faster than the sea can remove it. ... Cuspate - the land around the mouth of the river juts out arrow-like into the sea. The Ebro Delta. Bird's foot - the river splits on the way to the sea, each part of the river juts out into the sea, rather like a bird's foot.

Using wolfram alpha or some other reference, determine which of these elements would be liquid at 525 k (assume samples are prot
romanna [79]
The choices for this problem are bismuth, Bi; platinum, Pt; selenium, Se; calcium, Ca and copper, Cu. I think the correct answer would be selenium. The melting point of bismuth is at a temperature of 544.4 Kelvin. At a temperature of 525 K, it would exist as solid. Platinum melts at 2041.1 K. At 525 K, platinum would be in solid form. Selenium has a melting point at 494 K so that at a temperature of 525 K, it would exist in its liquid state. Calcium has a melting point of 1112 K so it would exist as solid at 525 K. Copper has a melting point at 1358 K, so it would still exist as solid at a temperature of 525 K. Therefore, the answer would only be selenium.

Identify the main purpose of the Periodic Table. *
saw5 [17]

The periodic table is one of the most important tools in the history of chemistry. It describes the atomic properties of every known chemical element in a concise format, including the atomic number, atomic mass and relationships between the elements. Elements with similar chemical properties are arranged in columns in the periodic table.

The table thus is a quick reference as to what elements may behave the same chemically or which may have similar weights or atomic structures.

Hope this answer helps you
