If 200.4g of water is mixed with 101.42g of salt the mass of the final solution would be reported as
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

301.8 g

Explanation:

We prepare a solution with 200.4 g of water (solvent) and 101.42 g of salt (solute). The mass of the solution is equal to the sum of the mass of the solvent and the mass of the solute.

m(solution) = m(solute) + m(solvent)

m(solution) = 200.4 g + 101.42 g

m(solution) = 301.8 g (we round-off to one decimal according to the significant figures rules)

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 670g of water from 25.7"C to 66,0°C? The specific heat
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

q= mc theta

where,

Q = heat gained

m = mass of the substance = 670g

c = heat capacity of water= 4.1 J/g°C    

theta =Change in temperature=( 66-25.7)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the amount of heat needed.

q= mctheta

q=670*4.1*(66-25.7)

  =670*4.1*40.3

=110704.1

If 335 g water at 35.5C loses 5750 J of heat, what is the final temperature of the water?
White raven [17]

Answer:

The final temperature is  39.58 degree Celsius

Explanation:

As we know

Q = m * c * change in temperature

Specific heat of water (c) = 4.2 joules per gram per Celsius degree

Substituting the given values we get  -

5750 = 335 * 4.2 * (X - 35.5)

X = 39.58 degree Celsius

Why is the Atlantic Ocean growing larger, but the Pacific Ocean is growing smaller?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

A.The Atlantic Ocean has more mid-ocean ridges than the Pacific Ocean so that keeps it growing larger.

Explanation:

Atlantic ocean is getting bigger because of the presence of spreading centers (divergent plate boundary). ... Pacific Ocean is getting smaller because the pacific plate is subducting along the subduction zones. Subduction zones are areas where old, dense plate subducts beneath a less dense plate.
