A laboratory technician drops a 0.0850 kg sample of unknown material, at a temperature of 100.0∘C, into a calorimeter. The calor

imeter can, initially at 19.0∘C, is made of 0.150 kg of copper and contains 0.200 kg of water. The final temperature of the calorimeter can is 26.1∘C.

Answer:

1013.32 J/kg.K

Explanation:

The heat transferred by a changing in temperature without phase change can be calculated by:

Q = m*c*ΔT

Where m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature (final - initial).

The values of c for water and copper can e found in thermodynamics tables:

cwater = 4.19x10³ J/kg.K

ccopper = 0.39x10³ J/kg.k

By the conservation of energy:

Qwater + Qcopper + Qmaterial = 0

0.200*4.19x10³*(26.1 - 19.0) + 0.150*0.39x10³*(26.1 - 19.0) + 0.085*c*(26.1 - 100) = 0

5949.8 + 415.35 - 6.2815c = 0

6.2815c = 6365.15

c = 1013.32 J/kg.K

What are the four most common problems that can arise in your motor design?
Nuetrik [128]

Electric motors are an essential part of our daily life as many systems, applications, and services depend on them. Motors today have a long service life and require a minimum level of maintenance to make sure that they perform efficiently. In large buildings, motors have to be maintained on a regular basis because they need to be in operation all the time; one small problem could cause a great loss to the organization.

Usually in large organizations, a motor maintenance program is carried out in which the causes of motor failures are identified and some necessary steps are taken to avoid them or lower their impact. Motors need to be inspected regularly, and other maintenance activities need to be performed to ensure efficient operation. Whenever a problem occurs, it should be corrected immediately to avoid further loss.

Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?
Lunna [17]

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.
