Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.
Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.
Answer:
D. The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.
Explanation:
Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise a unit of mass of a compound by one degree on the temperature scale.
The gram is constituted as a unit of mass, and the degree Celsius as a unit of temperature, therefore, the specific heat can be defined as the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.
Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.
Ok now the reaction.
20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1
Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).
