The initial temperature of the water that resulted in the final temperature of the water-metal mixture is 20.7 ⁰C.
<em>"Your question is not complete, it seems to be missing the following information;"</em>
the specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.45 J/g⁰C.
The given parameters;
- <em>mass of water, </em>
<em> = 45 g</em> - <em>final temperature of the water, </em>
<em> = 22 ⁰C</em> - <em>mass of the metal, m = 8.5 g</em>
- <em>initial temperature of the metal, t = 82 ⁰C.</em>
- <em>specific heat capacity of the metal, c = 0.45 J/g⁰C.</em>
The initial temperature of the water will be calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy;
<em>heat gained by water = heat lost by metal</em>


where;
<em>is the specific heat capacity of the water = 4.184 J/g⁰C.</em>
<em />
<em>Substitute the given values;</em>
45 x 4.184 x (22 - t) = 8.5 x 0.45 x (85 - 22)
4142.16 - 188.28t = 240.98
188.28t = 4142.16 - 240.98
188.28t = 3901.18

Thus, the initial temperature of the water that resulted in the final temperature of the water-metal mixture is 20.7 ⁰C.

Answer: Reaction A: pi + glucose ⇒ glucose-6-phosphate + H2O ΔG = 13.8 kJ/mol
Reaction B: pi + frutose-6-phosphate ⇒fructose-1,6-biphosphate + H2O ΔG = 16.3kJ/mol
Explanation: ΔG is the representation of the change in Gibbs Free Energy and relates enthalpy and entropy in a single value, which is:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
where:
ΔH is enthalpy
T is temperature
ΔS is entropy (measure of the )
It can also predict the direction of the reaction with the conditions of temperature and pressure being constant.
When the change is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous, which means the reaction needs external energy to occur. If the change is negative, it is spontaneous, i.e., happens without external help.
Analyzing the reaction, we see that reaction A and B have a positive ΔG, while reaction C is negative, so the reaction that are unfavorable or nonspontaneous are <u>reactions A and B</u>.
A. An alpha particle.

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.
Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.
I’m assuming the top ruler has more measurement points, like more specific numbers. This would mean the top ruler is more reliable because you can be more specific with your measurements
