Answer:
equal to M
Explanation:
The mass of the fully melted mass and the initial solid will be the same. So, the mass of the melt is equal to M.
Mass is the amount of matter contained within a substance. Since only the phase changed and the amount of matter is still the same, the mass of the molten phase and the solid phase will remain the same.
We are correct to say that in the heating process no mass was destroyed or added in melting the solid.
A simple phase change that preserved the mass only occurred.
The heat cause 300g water temperature increase from 20 to 26 celcius. The heat transferred would be: 300g * (26 °C -20 °C) *4.2 joule/gram °C= 7560J
The unknown substance is added to the water, so its final temperature should be the same as the water. The calculation would be:
7560J= 124g * (100-26)* specific heat
specific heat= 7560J / 124g / 74 °C= 0.8238 J/gram °C
So we know that the equation for density is:

where D is the density, m is the mass in grams, and V is the volume in mL.
So since we know two of the variables, mass and density, we can solve for the volume:



Therefore, the volume of this urine sample is 144.12mL.
