Answer:

The mass of silver block = 73.95 g

Explanation:

Given,

For water:

Mass = 100.0 g

Initial temperature = 24.8 °C

Final temperature = 26.2 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For silver:

Mass = x g

Initial temperature = 59.4 °C

Final temperature = 26.2 °C

Specific heat of water = 0.2386 J/g°C

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by silver

Thus,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{silver}\times C_{silver}\times (T_f-T_i)

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{silver}\times C_{silver}\times (T_i-T_f)

So,  100.0\times 4.184\times (26.2-24.8)=x\times 0.2386\times (59.4-26.2)

x\times \:0.2386\left(59.4-26.2\right)=100\times \:4.184\left(26.2-24.8\right)

x\times \:0.2386\left(59.4-26.2\right)=585.76

x=\frac{585.76}{7.92152}

x=73.95

<u>Hence, the mass of silver block = 73.95 g</u>

1. A substance, A₂B, has the composition by mass of 60% A and 40% B. What is the composition of AB₂ by mass?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
This may help you
Use an arbitrary mass, 100 g is an easy number to work with. 60% of 100 g is 60 g, there are two A's. Each A is 30 g 40 g is B, and there is only one, so B is 40 g. <span>A<span>B2</span></span>, would have a mass of 30 g + 2*40 g = 110 g The new percent by mass composition of A is: <span><span><span>30g</span><span>110g</span></span>∗100%=27.3%</span> The new percent by mass composition of B is: <span><span><span><span>80g</span><span>110g</span></span>∗100%=72.7%</span></span>

What is the volume of 3.00 M sulfuric aid that contain 9.809 g of H2SO4 (98.09g/mol)
Slav-nsk [51]

Given :

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution is 3.0 M.

Amount of sulfuric acid present in solution is 9.809 g.

To Find :

The volume of solution.

Solution :

We know, molarity is given by :

Molarity = \dfrac{number \ of \ moles \times 1000}{Volume\ ( ml )}\\\\M = \dfrac{w \times 1000}{M.M \times V}\\\\3 = \dfrac{9.809\times 1000}{98.09 \times V}\\\\V = \dfrac{1000}{10\times 3}\  ml\\\\V = 33.33 \ ml

Therefore, volume required is 33.33 ml .

What is the change in air pressure over a given distance called? wind speed air pressure force factor air pressure gradient​
lubasha [3.4K]

The change in pressure over a given distance is defined as a pressure gradient. The strength of this pressure gradient determines how fast the wind moves from higher pressure toward lower pressure. A stronger pressure gradient will cause stronger winds, as shown in Figure 2. >> Balanced in the vertical by the force of gravity
