Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author is probably reminding us that knowing the origins of words helps us to remember what they mean.

If "verde" means "green", the "verd" in "verdigris" probably means that verdigris is green.

However, the "verd" in verdigris domes from other languages.

It was originally Latin "viride aeris" (green brass).

In old French it became "verte de Grèce" (green of Greece). The modern French spelling is "vert-de-gris" (green of grey).

The English word "verdigris" comes from the French words.

What is the mass of a sample of alcohol (specific heat = 2.4 J/gC), if it requires 4780 J of heat to raise the temperature by 5.
insens350 [35]

The mass of a sample of alcohol is found to be = m = 367 g

Hence, it is found out that by raising the temperature of the given product, the mass of alcohol would be 367 g.

Explanation:

The Energy of the sample given is q = 4780

We are required to find the mass of alcohol m = ?

Given that,

The specific heat given is represented by = c = 2.4 J/gC

The temperature given is ΔT = 5.43° C

The mass of sample of alcohol can be found as follows,

The formula is c = \frac{q}{mt}

We can drive value of m bu shifting m on the left hand side,

m = \frac{q}{ct}

mass of alcohol (m) = \frac{4780}{(2.4)( 5.43)}

m = 367 g

Therefore, The mass of the given sample of alcohol is

m = 367g

It requires 4780 J of heat to raise the temperature by 5.43 C in the process which yields a mass of 367 g of alcohol.

What is 694,563,239 rounded to the nearest thousand
lina2011 [118]
694,563,239 rounded to the nearest thousand is 694,563.
 
It's because the first digit from the right is for ones, second for tens, third for hundreds and fourth for thousands and that's the one that we should take a closer look at. You can round it either to 3 or 4, depends on the digit of hundreds. In this case 3239 is clearly closer to 3000 than 4000, that's why we round it to 694,563, not 694,564.
