A volume of 120 mL of H2O is initially at room temperature (22.00 ∘C ). A chilled steel rod at 2.00 ∘C ∘C is placed in the water

. If the final temperature of the system is 21.50 ∘C ∘C , what is the mass of the steel bar? Use the following values: specific heat of water = 4.18 J/(g⋅∘C)J/(g⋅∘C) specific heat of steel = 0.452 J/(g⋅∘C)

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{28.5 g}}

Explanation:

There are two heat flows in this process and, since energy (heat) can neither be destroyed nor created, the energy change for the system must equal zero.

Data:

For Fe,    m₁ = ?;         C₁ = 0.452 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹; Ti =   2.00 °C; T_f = 21.50 °C

For H₂O, m₂ = 120 g; C₂ = 4.18    J°C⁻¹g⁻¹; Ti = 22.00 °C; T_f = 21.50 °C

Calculations:

1. Temperature changes

ΔT₁ = T_f - Ti = 21.50 °C -   2.00 °C = 19.50 °C

ΔT₂ = T_f - Ti = 21.50 °C - 22.00 °C = -0.50 °C

2. Mass of steel rod

\begin{array}{ccl}\text{Heat  gained by steel rod + heat lost by water} & = & 0\\m_{1}C_{1} \Delta T_{1} + m_{2}C_{2} \Delta T_{2}& = & 0\\m_{1} \times 0.452 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$}\times 19.50 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} + \text{120 g} \times 4.18\text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times (-0.50)\, ^{\circ}\text{C}& = & 0\\8.814m_{1}\text{ g}^{-1} - 250.8 & = &0\\\end{array}\\

\begin{array}{ccl}8.814m_{1}\text{ g}^{-1} & = &250.8\\m_{1} & = & \dfrac{250.8}{\text{8.814 g}^{-1}}\\\\& = & \textbf{28.5 g}\\\end{array}\\\text{The mass of the steel rod is $\large \boxed{\textbf{28.5 g}}$}

Two students were discussing the Mono Lake ecosystem. The first student said, "For a 20-kilogram (kg) coyote to survive, it take
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The second student is right.

Explanation:

The coyote feed on not only phalaropes but many other organisms present in the environment for its survival. There are many other organisms present in the ecosystem such as mice, squirrel, cactus fruit etc. The coyote feeds on phalaropes, the phalaropes feeds on brine shrimp and the brine shrimp feeds on algae for its survival so in this way the ecosystem moves in the forward direction. The coyote feeds on phalaropes so the energy that is present in phalaropes transferred into coyote which only 10 % while the remaining is released in the atmosphere in the form of heat energy.

How can we reduce the production of harmful gases that form acid rain
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution.
