You are trying to determine the specific heat of a metal. You heat the 97 g piece of metal to 100 °C and place it in a calorimet

er with 122 g of water. The temperature of the water increases from 20.0 °C to 28.9 °C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

Answer : The specific heat of the metal is, 0.658J/g^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of metal = 97 g

m_2 = mass of water  = 122 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 28.9^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 100^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

97g\times c_1\times (28.9-100)^oC=-122g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (28.9-20.0)^oC

c_1=0.658J/g^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is, 0.658J/g^oC

What is the rate of chemical reaction?​
babymother [125]

Explanation:

The rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction rates can vary dramatically.

How might an increasing population of robins positively and negatively affect a community?
Oliga [24]

All populations of living things are interrelated. When one population of animals, plants, or insects increase or decrease, other populations of living things are also affected. For example, when shrubs and brushy areas are removed from an ecosystem, the rabbit population will likely go down. The reduced rabbit population will lower predator populations that use rabbits as a food source.

In another example, let's assume all the dead hollow trees are removed from a forest ecosystem. Cavity nesting animals such as bluebirds, nuthatch, wrens, screech owls, squirrels and woodpeckers have very little, if any, shelter available. The number of animals of this type would be reduced. Insect populations could increase because of fewer insect eating birds and trees and other plants could be negatively affected. The whole ecosystem is affected.

The amount of suitable habitat for a species of wildlife will determine the number of animals that can survive in the area. Human activity has the greatest impact on the amount and quality of wildlife habitat in Illinois. Wildlife habitat can be destroyed or its quality diminished as a result of urban sprawl, agricultural practices, pollution, sedimentation, or habitat fragmentation.

People can also have a positive impact on wildlife populations through improvement and protection of habitat or ecosystems. The planting of trees and shrubs, as well as wildlife food plots, in the appropriate locations is one way landowners can improve wildlife habitat. People can protect ponds, streams, rivers and wetlands from sedimentation by reducing soil erosion on lands surrounding these aquatic ecosystems. Nesting boxes placed in ecosystems that lack dead, hollow trees will enhance the habitat for cavity nesting animals. There are many things people can do to improve habitat for wildlife.

There are a number of natural resource management agencies in Illinois that can help people enhance and protect wildlife habitat. Listed below are a few of the public agencies which can provide ecosystem management expertise to people in Illinois.
