Alright sorry you're getting the answer hours later, but i can help with this.
so you're looking for specific heat, the equation for it is <span>macaΔTa = - mbcbΔTb with object a and object b. that's mass of a times specific heat of a times final minus initial temperature of a equals -(mass of b times specific heat of b times final minus initial temperature of b)
</span>so putting in your values is, 755g * ca * (75 celsius - 84.5 celsius) = -(50g * cb * (75 celsius - 5 celsius))
well we know the specific heat of water is always 4180J/kg celsius, so put that in for cb
with a bit of simplification to the equation by doing everything on each side first you have, -7172.5 * ca = -14630000
divide both sides by -7172.5 so you can single out ca and you get, ca= 2039.74
add units for specific heat which are J/kg celsius and the specific heat of the material is 2039.74 J/kg celsius

Edit: I'm new to this site and idk how to use it properly. I'm not sure about 2 and 3 currently because these forces are between molecules as well so INTERmolecular would be used twice (?)

Why is burning wood a chemical change?

Nitella [24]

There are 4 things that are evidence of a chemical change.
1)Change in color
2)Change in shape (gas being let out)
3)Change in temperature
4)Change in smell

Burning wood is a chemical change because it has a change in color, and shape.

Lina20 [59]

Living organisms use atoms from sugar molecules combined with other elements to form lipids and nucleic acids. Lipids are hydrophobic organic compounds composed of carbon and a high ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. Nucleic acids are an acidic polymer of nucleotides found or produced in the cell nucleus.

Identify the independent and dependent variables. Peter is conducting an experiment to see how much salt will dissolve in water

Vlad1618 [11]

Temperature is independent and the amount of salt dissolving in water is dependant. This is because the amount of salt dissolving depends on how low or high the water temperature is
