A 62.6-gram piece of heated limestone is placed into 75.0 grams of water at 23.1°C. The limestone and the water come to a final

temperature of 51.9°C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joules/gram degree Celsius, and the specific heat capacity of limestone is 0.921 joules/gram degree Celsius. What was the initial temperature of the limestone? Express your answer to three significant figures

M₁ = mass of water = 75 g
T₁ = initial temperature of water = 23.1 °C
c₁ = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

m₂ = mass of limestone = 62.6 g
T₂ = initial temperature of limestone = ?
c₂ = specific heat of limestone = 0.921 J/g°C

T = equilibrium temperature = 51.9 °C
using conservation of heat
Heat lost by limestone = heat gained by water
m₂c₂(T₂ - T) = m₁c₁(T - T₁)
inserting the values
(62.6) (0.921) (T₂ - 51.9) = (75) (4.186) (51.9 - 23.1)
T₂ = 208.73 °C
in three significant figures
T₂ = 209 °C

Drag and drop the terms into the correct locations to describe how the relationship between photosynthetic organisms and animals
g100num [7]

Answer:

Photosynthetic bacteria must take in <u>Carbon Dioxide</u> to live, and they release <u>Oxygen </u> . Animals must take <u>Oxygen </u> to live, and they release <u>Carbon Dioxide.</u>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Photosynthetic bacteria perform same function as plants.  These bacteria contain light harvesting pigments absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

While animals take oxygen and release carbon dioxide to live. This respiration process is opposite to the photosynthesis.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
